This one seems to be just for electronics but R G's one works. Now all I have to do is figure out what they call some of the parts.
Stazi, Trek's overflow reservoir looks like a complete tank to me since it has a cap on it--it also looks flat on the bottom. Are my eyes deceiving me or is it sitting on some sort of a platform? Is there any reason why no one on this side of the ocean seems to have any of these parts? Cost, shipping, lack of interest? I'd sorta think since you're originally from Aussie land, you'd have some of these things.
Tom, it's the same tank as ours, with the chrome cap on top.

A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!

Well, for once I can't really say what prevented me from getting all this stuff. I could probably list a couple of reasons:
1. None of the British Web sites that offer cool stuff, such as ESP design, Burton Power, etc.,
provide the "automatic" click and buy and ship to the US option. You have to call, talk to them, ask them about VAT and other stuff, and there's a 5 hrs difference in time.
2. I been scared enough by the issue of "what if it doesn't fit our rides?"
3. In some cases I got the answer to the nature of "Payment should be made by International Bank Transfer in �£ Stirling using the attached information which will be required by your bank," which again prevented me from going on with any purchases.
I strongly believe that if a GB is organized by some of our British m8s - it would be a success.
At least there are 2 ppl who are down for that, Wa2tuff and RG.

I would be specifically interested in the following:
1. Fuse box lid cover
2. Brake reservoir cover and brake reservoir filler cap cover
3. Power steering reservoir cover and power steering reservoir filler cap cover
4. Header tank cover and header filler cap cover.
Well, I am gonna e-mail them now. Let's see.

They're just covers, and I think we have the same o/f tank, s I think it would fit over ours.
Everything shown bar the radiator sheild would work, as our front grill/bumper config is different to the Mondeo
Stazi was right, after comparing pix from Trek and NorMich99SE, I can see that. I got a PM from Trek and they call the o/f reservoir the "radiator header tank". I saw that title on the site of the English company. I sent them an email but it came back as undeliverable. The one I used was listed (Martindinah@LineOne.Net) on their site. Anyone have something different?

Now I feel really stupid.  R G, any answer from your email?
I just joined www.fordmondeo.org. Thanks to Cris'pus, I found a guy who makes all the covers we seek. After I get my temporary password and can PM him, I'll post his reply.
