Your 2009 Ford Mondeo is the same as my wife's 2016 Volvo S60 T5 Premier and my son's 2018 Volvo S60 T5 Inscription AWD. Of course, I've done repairs to both cars.

Imagine if someone built a guitar amp like that. Parametric bass mid and treble with calibrated db boost / cut.A few pics.
I replaced this oil trap on the wife's S60 on Wednesday while I was in Atlanta, Georgia. I did the same thing a couple years ago on our son's S60.Yeah, I knew that platform was used in many cars. It's excellent.
I know a guy who bought a Jaguar and was showing off at work. I asked if he knew it was basically a V6 Mondeo. He thought I was joking and was quite disappointed when this was confirmed. I told him it was nothing to be disappointed about as the Mondeo chassis is one of the best (I know the Jag is RWD so it isn't quite the same).
It's a thing of beauty in design and construction.This beast predates IC's and has a slew of small PCB's
It certainly looks like a BEAST!This beast predates IC's ...
The good news is that openers are not that expensive AND in California they are requred to have battery backup now.Replaced a leaking transaxle seal on the car which took most of an afternoon. After finishing up and closing the garage door the garage door opener failed. So today's project is installing a new opener. Sigh.
(Opener is 30+ years old and I rebuilt the transmission in it 5 or so years ago. Then the motor cap died a few weeks ago so I replaced it. The cap failed again this week so I replaced it yet again. Now THAT cap has failed so motor must be headed to the junkyard in the sky. 30 years was a good run I guess.)
