I assume (ass of you and me!) that you mean the engine is turning over but not firing.
Adding a battery booster would only be the same as slaving it from the Mondeo. How to process further depends on the fuel it uses.

How low is the fuel in the tank? Some owners on here have found when they have a fuel pump issue it is made worse when the fuel tank is relatively low. If not that then I would try recoding your battery assuming it is actually holding a correct charge. Also be very careful charging and jump starting on a D3 - you must use the hexagonal earth bar and not connect straight to the negative battery terminal or you may end up frying the battery management module

Hi Guys
Thanks for the replies - the engine doesn't turn at all, not a sound! I get every thing else, radio, lights, alarm, seats etc but the engine, ziltch! The fuel is really low but it doesn't even get that far, the engine just doesn't turn over. I always use the hex earth, thanks  I thought that too about the booster so not much point I guess, I wasn't sure if a booster would give it more than the mondeo though, enough to get it turning.I can t recode the battery until I get enough power into it to start the engine so not sure about that option...

Are you getting a small clicking noise? If so it may mean that your starter is sticking

ctek status
I left the ctek charging overnight and its now up to '6' so hopefully it should fire up now. I'm going to leave it to complete the full cycle, shouldn't be much longer and I'll post the results.. I've attached a couple of shots of the ctek doing its thing!

well that didn't work
 I left the battery charging overnight again and it didn't get to the final stage, step 7 on the ctek. I attached the Mondeo jump leads as well as the ctek and attempted to start. I opened the door and could see the red mileage digits and interior lights came on. Everything seemed to be working inside the 8, I put the key in and turned once, no ignition lights, turned again to attempt to start and nothing, and I mean nothing, not a peep from the engine. Not sure where to go from here, is there any point buying a new battery - (I checked the battery level from the 'car menu' before starting and it was at 1 bar on the gauge even thought the CTEK was at '6' which intheory should be full) or do I need to look at the starter
