Hi Guys been a while since I've been on.

I have had a problem recently with my Mondeo graphite 2.0 TDCi. Yesterday I was slowly approaching a red light (10-15mph) when all of a sudden it turned amber and I went into 2nd gear and put my foot down as it was a 40mph road. But the car remained at 15mph and the rev count went into the red so i changed in to 3rd and the same happened so i tried 4th and still the same problem. So after the embarrassment in changed back to 2nd and slowly accelerated and the car took off at around 2300 rpm.

Ive asked a few people what it could be and half say electrical and the other half say its the clutch.

Any ideas what it could be on here?

Thank you.

clutch slip sounds like

is it just best to get this replaced? i know its going to be expensive.

i would get a few more opinions on this as its a duel mass if its diesel which cost a packet

Hard to tell from this range, but sounds like a slipping clutch to me too

Ive been advised to drive it as little as possible but thats going to hard seeing as i work 20 miles away

the problem with duel mass is when they give up the gost they wont go anywhere my son had one and it just would move after a few miles had to get it towed

Sounds like slipping clutch, replacement time

£800 to a £1000 at the dealers

Independants about £600 I wouldn't use a SMF as it can damage the crankshaft bearings

Thank you for all your help guys. Looks like it is what I hoped it wouldn't be. Best get saving my pennies.
