I phoned Ford technical to get their thoughts - I was told that Mondeos suffer from what they call "key flick" a problem caused by getting in the car and starting the engine immediately which results in no throttle response and lumpy tick over.
The cure - turn on ignition, wait until Air Bag light goes out(the last one illuminated) and then start the engine.
Tried mine and it is perfect, makes logical sense in one way but wonder whether they tell you that when you buy one.
First one I have had with this fault but will look out for the next one.
Many thanks for the advice.
