common faults are the DMF and the rear subframe bushes.

the DMF can be pricey ( 750 i paid but ford wanted 1500 to change the dfm and clutch )

Yes you can get them remapped and imo they react to it quite well.

is it a facelift?
assuming so
yes you can get them remapped
the injector issue is more common on the 130 models than the 115's
air to the feet is one of the motors in the vent system packing up, on the prefacelift there is a way to reset everything, but not on the facelift controls
dmf flywheels will give you some notice of being on their way out, easiest to replace with a solid flywheel converstion, you will need a clutch at the same time so make sure you budget for the whole lot and give yourself a grand to play with

In all honesty i'd pass on it and buy something german
They can be one pain after the other , just check out the site in dojj's sig and decide for yourself really .

to be honest i wouldnt buy it especialy if its ur everyday runner with problems unless its really cheap. But then again i wouldn't buy a mondeo full stop.

thank for the replies it is a facelift model with a digital heater control system on the dash if that helps also been told it getting water in the passanger footwell he says it a door seal is this a common thing or is it more likely to be the heater matrix it has no sun roof so not leaking there it's cheap for what it is i think just would like to know what im looking at to get these little thing sorted.
