Hi. I'm new to the club but am on my 5th Ford.

I've just bought a 2009 Mondeo Titanium 1.8TDCi.

This is my first Deisel and would like some advice on service intervals. I do approximately 150 miles a week, doing town and dual carriageway driving.

Thanks for any help.

    Hi. Thanks for replies. Belts not changed yet as it's only done 16000 from new. I was more worried about oil and filter and particle filter.
