Ok guys just a heads up for those with XR5T Focii (Not Mondeo). Just of late there has been a spate of radiators leaking from the radiator core.
At this stage it appears to be in 2009/2010 models with around 30000 k's on the clock. Perhaps, if you guys have a 5 this model, perhaps check your radiator expansion tank, as they always appear to be slow leaks from the radiator core. My service guy informs me there has been an unusually high amount of radiator warranty claims, apparently its been raised with Ford Europe. As soon/if i get anymore info on this ill post it up. Apparently there was one knocked back due to having an Intercooler fitted. Check your fluids guys.
