• European car market profitability 10 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Besides the luxury marques, the profit made from each unit sold in Europe can't be all that much considering that the average car is relatively small by world standards (ie Focuses, Polo). Bigger car usually means bigger profit. Ford recently made more money from finance than from direct car
• Sticking rear-view mirror on 2 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  Hi Just changed the windscreen on my escort (mk4), and was wondering what I could/should use to glue the rear-view mirror back on. Ford seem to have used some sort of spongy black stuff when they stuck it on first hand. The windscreen itself has a black square to fix the mirror to, so I'm

  I bought a Ford Focus at auction in Feb. All seems ok and I'm happy with the car. Unfortunately there is no record of the radio's security code. The radio is working fine, but i guess i'll have a problem some time in the future. It is a factory fitted radio. Can i get the code from a central

  I am thinking about buying an Ex Daily Rental Ford Focus 1.6/1.8 Zetec at auction next week. I visited a similar auction in September and these cars were selling for between £7750 - £8300 (between 6 months to a year old). Anybody got any idea of what sort of price should I be looking to pay
• Focus Indicator (in)audible warning 24 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  One of the very few things I don't like about my Focus is the fact that the indicator warning is inaudible in most conditions, and hidden from view by the steering wheel. This may sound trivial, but, believe me, it is a potential hazard, if one's indicator has failed to cancel! My Ford garage say

• Scorpio surging 1 Apr 2001 (Forum)
  I have a Ford Scorpio 2.0i K plate automatic that will sometimes hesitate when starting off but will then suddenly surge forward. The engine does not increase revs at first but then takes off and is difficult to stop. I have also experienced surging on a high speed motorway run. Also the cruise

They’ll be with you in their 40’s if they get into the PCP/Lease trap of a costly new car every few years. My neighbour has a nearly new VW Polo GTi at age 19, which is taking most of what he
