  OK, I will try to summarise the problem. I noticed the temperature gauge wasn't working, and then I noticed there was coolant on top of the spark plugs!!! So I took it to Ford, who fitted new ECT sensor, and also replaced the spark plugs and the cylinder head core plugs (was this necessary

• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - V5C incorrect tax class 10 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  ... this is a Ford Duratec 1.8 90PS engine. There must be a million out there. There must be tens of thousands of 'identical' Focus estates out there. The DVLA know more about this car than I do: the V5C lists make / model / variant / version, together with a full set of exhaust emissions (sections V1 > V5
• Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 03 1.8 LPG fuel problem 7 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  I have a 53 duel-fuel Ford Focus (manufacturer fitted lpg). Recently, I've been experiencing intermittent trouble with the gas supply to the engine. A few minutes after starting the car the gas supply to the engine seems to die and the power fades away. It doesn't usually cut out completely

• Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - Two things I said I would never do... 8 May 2008 (Forum)
  1. Buy a Ford 2. By an ex-rental car And I've done both... SWMBO has been on about a new car for some time to replace her reliable but ageing Toyota. So while she is away for a few months I have been looking around and saw an ex-rental 2007 Focus 1.6 Zetec with 11,000 miles - and I bought

• Ford Galaxy (1995 - 2006) - '05 1.9TD. Tyre speed ratings - mix or not to mix? 2 Nov 2007 (Forum)
  there please: where are we best taking the car to for an inspection to ascertain whether or not there has been any hidden damage to the chassis, tow bar, running gear etc? Is our Ford dealer as good a place as any or do we need something more sophisticated than they can provide? Secondly, when we had the car
• How does public judge reliability? 6 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  We, the so called car boffins, often bash various manufactuers here especially French and Italian ones for their reliability woes. But people continue to buy Renault, Citroen, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Fiat etc. Majority of common people are also buying Vauxhalls and Fords, in spite of their not so
• Ford diesel engine needs replacing 5 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hi I could really use some knowlegible advice on a faulty car I have. The car is 2003 Mondeo. It was brought from my cousin who had it from new, now it has 74000 miles on the meter but always serviced by Ford. Two months ago it ran really bad and I took it to the dealer. They said the injector
• Don't upset your customers 6 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  In 1990, I was a Ford man & bought a new 1.8 diesel escort with a view to keeping it for a few years. At 1000 miles I wanted an oil & filter change, I phoned my local ford dealer repid fit dept who quoted me £18, when I took it in later that day & they did it, I was presented with a bill for £21

  Firstly I'd like to apoligise - I'm not quite sure if this should go here or not. If it doesn't, then I would be grateful to the mods if they would move it. Hello all, As you may or may not know, I have 1 dent (very very tiny) with a scuff down to the metal on my Ford Focus' bonnet. Also

• Ford diesels - a solution? 22 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  this could well be the thing which stops me buying the Mazda. However, given the fact that Ford historically has had problems producing a quality diesel, why don’t they stick these Mazda offerings in the Mondeo instead of this much maligned TDCI? Vauxhall did this in the 90s when they started using

  Hi, My sister has a 1999 T reg Ford Fiesta which i think is the MK4? I have been considering an MK5 and I did a VIN number check on both these cars and it said Origin as 'GERMANY' - does this mean where it was supplied from - i.e. grey import or does this mean where it was built... What confused
