  not working. I took it to a ford garage who tell me that their computer tells them that the module is faulty. This might be the case, but the supplier of the secondhand part are convinced it worked. (they have offered money back, and seem very resonable) The ford garage dont really want to look further
• Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) - REPAIRED-DAMAGE-Effect on Warranty 20 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  a quote of £3300 to repair it. This is about £2000 less than the car is worth prior to accident. I am not comftable with the idea of them repairing such extensive damage. Will the ford warrenty both body work and mechanicals still be valid? It is not currently at a ford delaear- can I insist
• Ford Fiesta 1.4 - strange noise 4 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  I own a 9 month old Ford Fiesta 1.4 (left hand drive - as I am in Gibraltar) that was bought from the local Ford main dealer when new. Recently the car has started to make an unusual 'metallic sounding tick or click' in certain situations. The noise only occurs at low speed; for instance when
• Ford Focus steering question 22 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I have a new petrol Ford Focus 1.8LX with standard steel wheels. It has a fair bit of vibration while driving at anything over 55mph. This can be felt through the steering wheel and the steering wheel can be seen to shake at times. I've had the front wheels balanced and the car examined
• Mondeo Alloy Corrosion 5 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I have an 03(May) Mondeo Zetec TDCi with the 9-spoke alloy wheels current on that model. The paint on all the wheels is bubbling with corrosion and I could peel it off in sheets by pulling gently with one finger, leaving a powdery corroded bare alloy surface underneath. The Ford badges
• Ford Focus / FSH - Warranty 20 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Here's a dilemma that's probably common, but I'd be interested to get suggestions or opinions on it. I've just bought a 9 month old Ford Focus. It has 19,000 miles on the clock. I've bought it from a large online / phone based supplier in the uk. Having being promised a Service history
• Servicing my car 15 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Hi, My V plate Mondeo is now the 'wrong' side of 100k miles (right for me though, love the depreciation :-)), and is due for a service within the next few months. It currently has a full Ford service history, which I added to when I got the car in February by having the car serviced at my local
• Ford EECV PCM 14 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  eventually they traced to the Lambda sensor. I don't fancy taking the car to Ford to have the car interogated for fault codes, as I simply don't have the time during the week, and I'm reluctant to spend money if they can't find a problem owing to the intermitent nature of the fault. So basically could
• Is Duratec HE engine reliable? 10 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  I get the opportunity to drive quite a variety of new cars and recently drove a new Ford Mondeo 2.0LX. It a very long time since I last drove a Mondeo and to say I was impressed is an understatement. It was in the same week that I drove a new BMW320 and a new Mercedes C200 and I have to say

  What is more fuel effcient - towing or hauling? 5 Jun 2023 (Ask HJ)
  What's the most fuel efficient way to move two tonnes of cargo, a light truck like a Daily or Sprinter or a trailer behind a Toyota Hilux or Isuzu D-Max?...
• Need a new car, how much should I spend? 2 Feb 2023 (Forum)
  Hey all  My car looks like it's on its way out and it may be time for a new old one. I don't have a max budget per se, as I'll be taking out a loan for it (I very recently got a relatively well paying job so I don't have the cash to hand to buy a car outright, but I know  I can

  miles and then allowing the car to cool down for 10 minutes. When I do this, I find that the dipstick reading is lower than if I check first thing in the morning which goes against the idea that the fully-synthetic oil has expanded. Surely, if I was to top up to the max line by following the manual I

  and then further distances on the weekend (including into Londons soon-to-be extended ULEZ) as we are active and tend to be out and about. I'm searching for the latest model in the latest shape (2016 onwards) with a max of 40k miles done. Armed with a budget of 15k, that gets us an SE 2016 example

• Any - Identifying engine noises. 22 Nov 2017 (Forum)
   Often difficult to diagnose, and even harder to convey to someone who hasn't heard the noise for themselves.  For example, I have a new clutch in my Powershift B Max. Its meant to overcome the notorious problems with this transmission, and as a result I'm ultra sensitive to any

• MINI Cooper D 2007 - Clutch repair linked to oil problem? 11 Oct 2016 (Forum)
  and I took it to them. I should point out that it went off again but when it was on there was a "tapping" noise in the engine. There was more oil in than the max but not too much which they drained off. Whilst doing this they noticed that the air box was loose and the hosing wasn't connected so they had
