We had a mk1 Mondeo 1.8 , bought for £400 with 118k, we took it round to 180k,
at which time the play in the steering rack meant it's last trip was to the
scrappy..... Only prob during the 5yrs we had it was the water pump - cheap to
fix but 12inch long double jointed fingers required!

Wow I was not aware of a 4x4 Mondeo and my old MK1 2litre SI has just passed
its 5th MOT with no work needed while in my care, I paid just £200 for it and
have only replaced tyres bulbs and brakes in the last 5 years. It has traction
control ABS and heated front screen. Its the best banger I have had, and my
daughter hates it cos she sells Mercs and Beemers and when we visit she hates
it in the drive LOL.

I even had a Ford parts guy try and tell me there was no such thing as a
4x4 Mondeo, until he looked on the computer.
I wouldn't say they are impossible to find, there usually seem to be one on
Ebay.
I am scrapping one of mine, at the moment it's being a mobile shed.
I am expecting to have to make a custom fuel tank, or more likely, 2, one
each side of the probe.
The Mondeo 4x4 has a fuel tank with a tunnel down the middle and a fuel
pump and sender in each side.

Hi Jim
I was aware of the MK1 Mondeo 4x4, my brother-in-law used to own one a
number of years ago, hardly anyone at the time would believe that it was a 4x4
until they took a quick look at the rear axle.
What is a bit frustrating is that I had the car in my front garden for
about many months and wasn't interested in it, the gearbox, driveshafts,
propshaft, diff etc, were all absolutely fine, he eventually sold it for scrap.
I had no idea that many years later it would be of interest to me and I
understand they are now also almost impossible to find,
This is what caused me to think of the Jaguar MTX box etc.with an st170
engine, I will have to do some more digging on this to satisfy my curiosity. I
understand that the Jaguar rear diff/suspension is connected to a subframe
which is very similar to the MK3 Mondeo estate.
I looked at my H4 today, assuming that a propshaft would at the same
height as the centre of the wheel hubs it would be quite a bit above the
height of the floor and also would bisect the fuel tank.
Clearly the rear sub-frame etc, etc. would need to be narrowed, and the
H4 chassis modified to give the subrame something to mount onto.
In other words not for the faint hearted!
I think I will keep with just putting in a 2 liter zetec for now!

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
No, the Mk1 Mondeo 4x4 MTX75 gearbox (yes, they did make one, i own 2
off them).
I had to machine away some sections of the aluminium section of the
sump, build up others with weld and make a few new holes but the gearbox does
now mate with the engine and the transfer box fits on the back of the engine
(uses the same holes as the driveshaft support bracket on the 2wd engine.
That is as far as i got 5 years ago at which point i acquired a
girlfriend, sold my house, bought a new house and am still getting things
sorted.
Eventually, i will get back to the H4x4 project.
The current plan is to use the standard Mk3 Fiesta front suspension but
narrow the complete mondeo rear suspension for the rear.
The diff and the suspension all bolt to a subframe on the Mondeo.
The tunnel will have to be made a lot larger.

Hi Jim
I assume you have gone for Jaguar X Type 4x4 gearbox fitted to a
Focus st170 engine? I have often wondered if this engine and gearbox
combination would actually fit one another, but I assumed there must be a good
possibility because I think its essentially an MTX gearbox and the st170 engine
is a Zetec.
My H4 is currently fitted with a 1.6 Zetec engine and IB5 gearbox,
but I am going to change this for a 2.0 Zetec and an RS Turbo series 2 gearbox
with an LSD, I don't think my insurers, or indeed me, would be happy with
anything more than this for my 18 year old son.
If we keep the H4 for a few years I would be tempted to go for a
turbocharged Zetec and a 4x4 set up, but I would have no idea how to get the
propshaft clearance, or deal with the rear suspension, diff mounting etc!
Cheers

Hi Jim
So if the gearbox from a st170 goes in could you not use the
engine as
well ? just a silly thought?.

Do you mean one from a Focus ST170 or one of the later
MTX75 gearboxes ?
The ST170 gearbox was made by Getrag, i have one i took off
a ST170
engine so i could made the engine to a MTX75 4x4 gearbox.
The ST170 gearbox is actually quite short as it's got 3
shafts (with 3
gears on each) not the normal 2 (with 5 or 6 gears on).
It should bolt onto the Zetec block with no problems except
some of the
lower gearbox to sump holes may not line up.
It will depend if it is a silver top or blacktop Zetec, the
blacktop
should match better.
It does use unique driveshaft splines and joints so you
will need to
get some custom driveshafts made.
And, of course you won't have the Mk2/3 Fiesta type
mounting locations
on the gearbox so those will need to replace.
Also, the gearchange is cable but as long as you've got the
matching
linkage it should be too bad.
I may put the one i have in the 2+2 at some point.
