Re: The need for speed
Even the earlier Mondeo TDs had that issue if you normally drove politely - the recommendation from the garage on mine was to take it to the local motorway, luckily only a couple of miles away and quite high above the land, and floor it up the slip roads a couple of times before taking the vehicle for its MOT.
Also ideal for burning off boy racers at the lights - diesel is unexpectedly torquey at low revs, and I've occasionally seen some very surprised young faces through the clouds of black crud in the rear view mirror.
