• Ford Mondeo 1 (1993 - 1996) - 96 2.0 - Central locking devoid of life 6 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  and this was not a ford one, it was a replacement generic key, obviously not remote. My problem is the car has no central locking from any door, no double locking and no alarm whatsoever. I have no idea where to start, but will have a damn good fiddle with the right advice. Thanks in advance for any replies

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8 Timing belt concern ! 6 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  This question concerns a 1999 UK Ford Focus 1.8 Petrol model. I know from various sources how bad it is to get engine oil etc onto the timing belt and tensioner etc, e.g. from the Hayne's manual and various internet articles. On the one hand the thought haunts me that there could be oil on my
• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 1.6 Easy cure for poor fuel consumption ? 2 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  , and found them all at 26psi. After pumping them to the correct 31/33 psi, the fuel consumption has improved to 38mpg on a 200 mile run - an acceptable figure for a tight engine in winter, I think. I wouldn't have thought wrong tyre pressures would make such a difference, but it's a bit worrying that a Ford

  it's ultimately faster; perhaps it just needs a bit of getting used to. (And the car has a service book full of Ford service history so I'm assuming there's nothing actually wrong with the engine.) Cheers John

  Backroomers, My 2000 W reg Ford Mondeo 2.0 will soon need two new front tyres. At present it still has the originals, which are Michelin Pilot HX MXM's. These grip very well but I have only obtained just over 20,000 miles from them; I would have thought that they would have lasted far longer
