Mondeo ST 155 tdci - advice please?
Discussion
Hi,
I've finally decided that the next car is going to be a Mondeo St 155 TDCI. But as with any car I buy these days, I like to consult you chaps on here for anything I should look out for when buying?
I've just been reading a thread on the ST220 for a lot of info.
Does the ST155 have the same sound system with the aux input in the glove box?
Is there anything that is a major weakness on these cars that I need to seriously check out before buying? I'd heard stories of the flywheel being a little bit fragile? How can you tell this if it is a weakness?
Cheers in advance

Glad to have returned the favour for the quick review by telling you about the little aux input! So thats a yes it does have one then.
Will try and aim for the later 6 speed box model then if I can. What year did they change over to the 6?
I'd been toying with the idea of a few cars including a 330ci, or even the ST220, but then thought about the economy side of things, and I have a 'fun' car for the performance. But then I wanted something that was a compromise rather than being totally powerless.
Going to look a a few next week hopefully so will keep an eye/ear out for the things mentioned above.
Cheers for you contributions. If you think of anymore or if anyone else has anything to add then please do!

The brakes sound similar to the 355 then, they never feel that great, and squeal a lot too, but they seem to do the job.
Is there a cure for if the bumpers start to drop? Can you replace the mounts or anything?
Been talking to someone else about the tdci's and they've said similar things, so I reckon its worth the extra in petrol and insurance for the same of not haveong an expensive diesel engine cock up!
