therm sensor on the radiator is possibly not working...this usual triggers the fan on most ford cars...

Agree with previous post, fan sensor usually on radioator that controls when fan comes on etc.. check wiring to that, short out wires, fan should come on, if only one wire, short it out to earth (chassis), fan should come on.

2.5 - 3.5k suggests a very specific power band maybe an exhaust leak or air filter problem?

worth a try!

were bouts aare the sensors on a mondeo rad.the fan heater in the car is also only blowing cold air and not hot air.very cold without it in car

Should be on the front of the radiator.

Also if no heating inside car, sounds like maybe your thermostat is gummed up or knackered, follow large bore pipe from top of radiator to the engine block where it connects, this should be a removable (with bolts) cover, thermostat in there.

Careful with hot engines / boiling fluids etc.. and if you do dismantle make sure you fill up properly afterwards !!
