• mk2 mondeo heated screen 27 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  I seem to have the opposite problem to most people with Ford heated screens - mine works when I don't want it to! On engine starting, the indicator light for the front screen lights up for about 5 minutes - as if I have pressed it. It hasn't been cold enough for me to tell whether the screen

• Problems at Toyota 30 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Of course everything is relative and I'm sure GM & Ford would love to only have these problems at Toyota but I read today that they are launching a major campaign to tackle quality issues and recalls. (See BBC Business pages). This may even delay the launch of various new models. Being the owner

• The Top Gear Thread - Volume 22 23 May 2006 (Forum)
  The Top Gear people use such obscure cars? A Chevrolet Lacetti? Wossat? Why don't they use say - a Ford Focus, Audi A3, VW Golf, or whatever? A car that we see on the High Street, a car that we know and love (or hate).
• Online Part Exchanging 8 May 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, Still cannot make the other half decide what car she wants. (Its doing my head in now) Drive the deal and Dealdrivers have good offers on Ford Focus, but do not offer Part exchanges. I can get one from a local dealer online site for about a £900 more. I think the plan will be except
• long running models 9 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  The Ford Ka came out in 1996. Other than a new engine and a few changes to the interior trim, it is still pretty well identical today, and still going. Apparently it will reach 10 years in September. Any other mainstream vehicles still in production, effectively unchanged, after 10 years

• Focus - splutters on acceleration 10 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I've got a 52 1.6 Focus with 30k miles on it. Recently, it's started spluttering under medium to hard acceleration. Gentle acceleration, or easing off the throttle when it does splutter, seems to stop it. Starts fine, and cruses along fine. The local Ford garage replaced the leads and plugs

• Oldest car with the lowest mileage? 13 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  Today I went to my Grandmothers to help her sell her Ford Ka. It's a 1998 R reg with a whopping 4428 miles under its belt. I'm sure it's quite common with elderly drivers (I say elderly, but she's only 76) to have low mileages, probably common with 'weekend' sports cars too. What cars have you
