depends how old the mondeo is.post 05/55 you should be ok but avoid early tdci`s.

much nicer looking motor than the Primera which imho is damn ugly particularly in hatch form.

nicer drive as well, found the primera jiggly and unresponsive compared to a mondeo with 3 times the mileage on the clock.

just my thoughts, some will disagree

I have no experience of the Primera other than my son had one and it wrote itself off when the handbrake released itself whilst it was standing on a hill. However, you would not be diappointed with a Mondeo as a towcar, mine is a 55 plate TDCi 115 and it is without a doubt the best towcar I have had over the last 17 years, it tows my 1450kg Hymer with no question about it's stability, it has more than enough power and it is very economical.

Cheers, I like the toys on the Primera but need something that can do 20,000 miles a year so it needs to be reliable.  I did consider a 115 Mondeo but felt the 130 would be the option to tow 1300kg.  Very interested to janus tows a hymer with one.  I can't afford a post 55 plate one though.
