    I'm just about to start a new job and have been sent the company car list. There are just 18 vehicles on it, 12 of which are Ford. This is in stark contrast to my old company who would let you have whatever you liked as long as you were prepared to pay for anything over your allowance. The new

    Yesterday, waiting to collect my Ford F150 at the local dealer following it's 5000 service I was struck by the opulence of the place.

  • Squeaky Ka: normal? 7 May 2010 (Forum)
    My Ford Ka squeaks, especially at low speed. There is a sound like rubber being rubbed against something, and it is most noticeable when going slowly in a car park. Is this normal? It originates from the front, probably near the front wheels. It was recently serviced.
