What problems have you had with your Mondeo?

[Mondaveo]

Just collected my car from the insurer's panel beater yesterday.

They replaced the passenger side fender, front door and indicator lens, repaired the gouge in the back door and renovated the alloy wheel.

They did an okay job. Colour match looks good. Panel gap between the doors is not 100% even, but no worse than some I've seen out of the factory.

They were unable to replace my torn front mud spat because they don't deal in aftermarket parts. I told them at the time of dropoff that it wasn't OEM, but apparently they forgot and stuffed around for two days sourcing a mud spat that wasn't going to fit. As a consequence I received the car missing some of the clips in the wheel arch as well as the OEM end cap/mini mud spat that dresses the front end of the side skirt, which apparently they didn't know was a thing. I've requested that they post the end cap to me and I'll fit it myself. Likewise the aftermarket mud spat I can buy myself and get the insurer to reimburse.

Other complaints (most only noticed after I collected the car):

• Passenger side exterior mirror scalp not seated properly.
• Passenger side front tweeter surround not even close to seated properly.
• Glue residue on passenger door interior trim.
• Interior surfaces covered in fine dust because they leave the window open while the car is in the workshop.

But at least the panels are straight again.
