So I bit the bullet and replaced the vaporiser. Trade price was a little over $420 at my local Ford. I could of got one cheaper off eBay but as the Mondeo got to the stage that it wouldn't complete a burn it was costing me $50 a day to drive my Cruiser.....

Attempted to change it myself but laying under the car (on ramps) using a long handled 22mm spanner and 3 foot of pipe I couldn't get enough of a swing at the nut to undo it.
I took it in to my mate the mechanic and lifted it up on his hoist and one of his boys changed it for me. Took a crows foot socket and a 3 foot bar to get it undone.

Definitely the cause, the hole was all but blocked up with carbon. After changing it did a complete burn and the soot levels have remained lower (only building up to 40% after 200km) than before where it was burning every 150/200km.

Time will tell but hopefully a win.
