i dont know if its been mentioned in this thread cause i couldnt be arsed to read it. You can get a solid flywheel for these engines now which does away with that shite dmf. The engines in the mondeos are very similar to the tranny engine. Ive work on loads of trannys in the royal mail and i can say that we havent had many problems with the engines. They get ragged to fook and they keep on going.
