how do i sevice my ford mondeo TD 1800GLX?

steve,im guessing you mean oil and filters if so ....
jack up car and support remove undertray[which is under the engine]this will help you to gain acess to the engine bay from the bottom.while you are under the car remove the sump plug and drain the oil into a suitable container also while you are there remove the oil filter which is at the rear of the engine[as you lie under the car the oil filter is on your right]be carefull as oil will come out of the filter as it is fitted on side ways
while the oil is draining remove the fuel filter this is found in the engine compartment to the right of the engine bay, there is a center bolt that holds the filter into its body the filter comes in one piece with two big rubber seals and one little one
once you have removed the filter remove the bottom from the filter and clean the base befor refitting it to the new filter not forgetting the new rubber seal around the base the other seal goes around the top of the housing the filter bolts to and the small rubber seal fits around the center of the housing
once you have fitted the seals bolt the filter back on there is a bleed screw on the top of the housing slack it off and using the hand primer which again situated on the top of the housing
pump until fuel is seen coming out of the bleed screw then shut the bleed screw then refit the oil filter and the sump plug
[a small smear of engine oil new or old around the top of the new oil filter will help it to seal better do not fill the oil filter as it is a side on fitting filterthe rest of the service is checks
1check all drive belts for wear
2check and top up as required all fluid levels[water/ brake.powersteering]
3check tyers for wear and tread depth/damage
4check lights for operation/damage
