About Handbrake Cable
The Mondeo Ford handbrake cable is an essential part of your vehicle’s braking system. It is connected from the handbrake to the parking brake which is connected to the rear wheels of the vehicle using a locking nut. It is used to operate the emergency handbrake. The handbrake is also used when parking on uneven ground or on a slope in order to stop the vehicle from rolling. It is therefore essential that you keep the handbrake and the attached cable in good condition at all times, being careful to ensure that it is properly tensioned for optimum performance. This tension can be determined using an adjuster and the guide bracket that is attached to the wheel.
As the Mondeo Ford handbrake cable is used regularly, it can be prone to general wear and tear and fraying, as well as stretching through overuse. Because of the importance of this cable, it is essential to replace it as soon as you notice it’s damaged.
The Mondeo Ford handbrake cable can also become stuck and not move freely. If this is the case, you can first try lubricating the cable to see if this helps it move more easily. If this doesn’t help a replacement cable will be necessary.
Ford Mondeo trivia
- There was a point where the Mondeo was the most popular company car in the UK. However, it eventually lost that title to the BMW 3-Series.
- When the Mondeo went on sale in the UK in 1993, it had gone through six years of development and had a production price tag of £3 billion. At the time, that made it the single most expensive car ever produced. Fortunately, the spending paid off.
- By 2014, 4.5 million Mondeos had been sold already.
- The Ford Mondeo was released in 1992 and won the European Car of the Year in 1994, thanks to its focus on driver and passenger safety. It was the first car to introduce a driver’s airbag as standard.
- The Ford Mondeo did not do well in the US, despite some mad promotions (including a drive from London to New York via the Bering Strait). Perhaps it was the fact that the Mondeo was renamed the Contour in the States? In Europe, however, drivers were queuing up outside showrooms to get their hands on one.
