Ford mondeo V6 overheating?

My ford mondeo started overheating while in motion. When I pulled off rhe road, I discovered the hose was leaking as a result od weak clip. The clip was replaced and thereafter the water pump was discovered to be leaking. It was replaced and after about 30 mins drive, the temp guage rose to the peak. I pulled off the road, allowed it get cold and toped-up the water and it was ableto take me home. But the temp guage rose to a maximum of about 35% after the refill.

Please what could be the cause?

Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

98 Ford Contour Stuck Between Neutral And Drive?

Thought 1st gear was out. But beginning to believe it's stuck between drive and neutral. Because when I manually put it in 1st it goes fine. Anybody know how to fix this? Can't afford a new car right now! Going into drive before I hit 30mph makes it really loud and it doesn't really move at all. Take my foot off the gas and it still sounds like I'm trying to floor it. Please somebody help!

I have a 2006 Ford Freestar SEL?

2 weeks ago as I was driving I heard a blast of air then my van wouldnt go. It was still running but wouldnt kick in to gear so i coasted into an approach. I put it in park then reverse n each of the other gears but it wouldnt go. My husband checked the transmission fluid and level and said it was fine. Does this mean I need to replace the whole transmission?

Car reving when I'm not pressing on the peddle?

I have a 2006 ford 500. Today when I was parked I put the car in reverse to back out with my foot on the break to ease out, and the car revved like I was pushing on the gas peddle. It also happened two more times. Once when I was still backing out and once when I was pulling into my house to park. I tried to check the transmission fluid but apparently, after some research, I found out my car does not have a dip stick. What could this be? I don't know if it is worth noting we just put freon in our car because our air wasn't working and so we ve been pretty much running it on full blast since then

Need a way to find a classic car?

My dad had a ford galaxie from the 60's when he was younger. Lately hes been talking more and more about it. He talks about alot of the cars he had but this 1 in particular he seems like he misses the most. I don't know the vin number or the license plate number. I might be able to get the license plate number off of him but i don't know if he will remember. Is there anyway i can go about finding the vin number of the car by simply using his name? Normally i know alot of people wouldnt consider it because a lot of names are common but his name is 1 of 3 on record threw out the united states so his name isn't common at all.
