A good mate of mine has this exact trouble with his mondeo, has been quoted £500 - £750 to repair it.

Car shopping on hold for the time being. My mother in law was rushed into hospital on Friday night. The wife couldn't raise her on the phone and went to check on her, found her fitting (she's an epileptic) and blue. She had been stuck on the floor for about 5 hours.

Back home recovering now, but car shopping has taken a back seat (forgive the pun) till she is ok. This was her first episode for about 30 years.
