I have encountered this problem in a standard 2.0 Mondeo. Basically, I have found that when the seat back is folded forward, with the mechanism in a horizontal plane (as opposed to a vertical plane), the release mechanism will not operate. This is extremely annoying as you you cannot then lift the seat back into the upright position as the jammed mechanism won't allow it. The answer is to pull the seat squab forward to access the seatbelt mounting bolt. Undo the mounting (you really need an appropriate sized torx spanner for this, but I found an Allen key worked OK). You can then raise the seatback and this releases the mechanism, and you can then reconnect the mounting. What you need to do now is to put a stop in the seatbelt (I've used a safety pin temporarily) to make sure the seatbelt does not reel in when you next lower the seat back. Hope this helps!
yes
After checking if your local mechanic can order in a Mondeo ST24, the next best place to go is online. eBay Motors has a great range of all different kinds of parts.

Yes, you can fit a ST24 front bumper on a Mk3 Mondeo, but it may require some modifications for a proper fit. The ST24 bumper is designed for the Mondeo's specific model, so ensure compatibility with your vehicle's mounting points. It's advisable to check for any potential differences in the grille and fog light placements as well. Professional installation may help achieve the best results.
You really should use semi synthetic,preferably castrol

For a 2000 Ford Mondeo ST24, it's recommended to use a high-quality synthetic oil with a viscosity rating of 5W-30 or 10W-40, depending on your climate and driving conditions. Look for oils that meet or exceed the API (American Petroleum Institute) standards, such as API SL or SM. Brands like Mobil 1, Castrol, and Shell often provide suitable options. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations and requirements.
To set the alarm on a Ford Mondeo ST24, first ensure the vehicle is locked. Press the "Lock" button on the key fob, which typically activates the alarm system. If the vehicle is equipped with a manual alarm setting, you may need to press and hold the "Lock" button for a few seconds to enable the alarm. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions related to your model.
