Hi I have a similar problem on mine. Not fixed it yet but found information on this internet page about it:
http://www.bba-reman.com/content.aspx?content=ford_escort_common_problems_and_solutions
under the headline "Ford Escort 1995 to 1996, Ford Mondeo 1996" (about half way down the page).
Hope that will help.
