I should add that I have a MOndeo 2.0 tdci 2004/53 plate!

I couldn't find a fuse listed that's directly for that purpose, but I'll look again.  I would have thought the fuses for the lights - the main one and the one that comes on when the door opens - would be the same (the bulb is the same).  However I'll have a look!
Thanks

OK after reading more and more on forums (which I shouldn't really do) I'm almost being put off buying a mondeo! Which is a shame as I really like them. But are other vehicles at this age mileage (+100k) really that more reliable?

I'm a big fan of interiors (its where I spend most of my time with a car after all) and from all the cars I've looked at the mondeo seems to come out on top.

I've been advised to go for Mazda 6 or Toyota Avensis, but they look kind of bland, interiors are pretty awful, and I;ve seen their fair share of problems too.

I don't even know why I;'m writing this really, just venting I guess, hoping for some kind of epiphany!

Thanks for the advice. It is indeed the diesel ones I'm looking at.
I'm looking at Mondeo's because after driving round recently in a Puma I;ve realised I prefer a bigger car (and like the performance and economy of turbo diesels I've had in the past, namely a Rover 75).

Looking over these forums have almost put me off! But to be honest most makes and models have their common faults and I suppose simply looking over these forums can skew opinions etc.

If you think this is bad, before the Mondeos I was looking at Renault Lagunas!

So it's a good price? I'm thinking that for my budget (which is about the price of this car)  I'm not going to get a ghia (or even a zetec?!) and a full service history?
