Hello.
I purchased a 58 plate mondeo with the 1.8tdci last week from anow independent dealer. The car drove fine on the test drive I took it on but returning home the next day (Notts to peterborough) after about an hours driving I felt the engine hesitate in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. I wasn't over geared, nor was I accelerating hard, just normal driving at normal speeds.
I contacted the dealer the next day who was surprised and said I could get it checked by a local garage rather than return it back to Notts, which I plan to do but wondered if anyone might have an idea as to what this might be?
I really like the car otherwise but I'm not comfortable having shelled out so much cash for a car I am concerned might explode anytime soon!
