Headlamps not giving a clear patern, they give a blured spot.

Probably the plastic diffuser thingys behind the glass have yellowed due
to the wrong (too long) bulbs being used. About a tenner each and you

It seems that most mondeo's of that age have yellowed headlamps, and
most Galaxy's too, I expect it was also a design fault or bad choice
of plastic.

bad choice of plastic, it suffers from UV & heat damage from the bulbs,
hence the need to use genuine Ford ones.

shouldn't
be any less fussy garages..............now that's in theory.
Take it to a garage that only does MOT's
