  • Mk2 Mondeo front wishbone size? 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)

    that the particle filter may be coming to the end of its life (the car has now done almost 43K miles) and that it could be the cause of the uneven tickover. The car seems to be running OK otherwise, the fuel consumption having improved recently since I fitted a new air flow pressure sensor to the turbo intake

  • Diesel or petrol 29 Oct 2003 (Forum)
    average about 10k miles per year. The reason I was looking at diesel is the fear of getting aweful fuel eco from a petrol engine.

  • Wrong oil again!! 5 Mar 2001 (Forum)
    . This was aggravated by using supermarket fuel which I suspect was gumming up the valves.
