It sounds like you are in serious need of a tune up. Have you replaced the plugs, air filter and fuel filter on this vehicle?

The automatic gearbox on my mondeo 2002 changes gears but slips

In the engine compartment, you will need to locate the transmission dipstick. Usually on the left side of the motor, labeled "Trans fluid". Pull it out and check the fluid level. Your problem could be as simple as putting transmission fluid in it. That will make it slip. You fill the transmission right down the dipstick tube.

Runs fine for awhile then acts likes it is flooding

If you have alot of miles on it then the cat converter is probably plugged. First check your air cleaner and fuel filter, they are affordable. Converters get plugged after 50k but can go to 150k..all luck on our parts. Hope this helps.:)

Engine removal and intsalling!!

weather its diesel or V6 petrol you can remove small tin engine sump and oil pick ups then undo all 4 diff case mounting bolts to chassis one at a time remove and put back in only a few turns this then drops diff assembly down then install motor
works a treat!!!

you could be lazy and bend lip of tin engine sump over bolts in rear left side with hammer this works also but still is a bit of a struggle over that diff.
