I was so frustrated at not having information on my model of Mondeo that I bought a manual on CD from Ebay. It turned up yesterday and I have been looking through it today. I think it will come in handy until the revised and updated Haynes manual featuring the 2000 Mondeo TD gets released (when the old version sells out). The CD manual is aimed at Ford mechanics and as such is not worded as clearly as the Haynes’.
I don’t know if it is worth the money (£4) and the guy who is selling it must be making a mint but I’ve got it now. And at least it has other ford model’s information so I ever have a different Ford then it will come in useful.
I also finally got down to the library and picked up the Haynes’ manuals for ‘Car Bodywork Repair manual’ and ‘Diesel Engines manual’. Hopefully the first should help me repair the rust (pictured below) and maybe be able to understand diesel engines a little better.
The rust isn’t top on my list of things to do but knowing how to do it and tools I might need will definately help. When I do tackle it I will video it so you can get some tips and learn from my inevitable mistakes.
I finally have some money so will be able to buy some oil to finally change the oil and filter sometime this week.
