• Aston Martin Sold! 8 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Well we had the lengthy demise of PAG thread so thought this deserved its own. According to Autocar today, Ford have sold Aston Martin. Apparently the new owner will be revealed before Christmas. Later on it alludes to the sale now being final but the Ulirch Bez (the chairman) with venture

• 95 Mondeo 1.8 Zetec timing 23 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  This petrol Mondeo has an automatic gearbox. Due to persistent pinking not cured by various attempts by DIY, main dealer and independent (fuel filter, vacuum leak checks, new air mass meter, new EGR valve, new ECU! etc) the next step is going to be to check the timing. However Ford have said

• fiesta power steering 11 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Does the fiesta have problems with power steering leaks? I have a 2002 freestyle which needed a new steering rack at 30K. Now my hubby's 2002 (new style) ghia needs a new steering rack, at 25K, just 1 month out of warranty and 5 weeks after a major service. The ford garage can only help by quoting
• How much to respray a Focus bonnet? 7 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  Hi lads, I bought a Ford FOcus in metallic black which had some bad stone chips on the bonnet. So I got hold of a touch up pen and made a really bad job of the repair - now the chips look like patches of slightly different coloured paint... I think I probably need a bonnet respray. Any idea what
• Honda Ridgeline 17 May 2005 (Forum)
  , if you want a pickup buy a pickup, not some indeterminate version of something in between. Honda's too late in the market with this anyway. Obvious how they've taken their styling cues from the king of the breed too: the Ford F-150.
• X-Type & Modus production cuts 25 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  - No real surprise that Ford are going to temporarily slow the production of the Jag X-type at Halewood. Wonder when they'll kill the car altogether?! Mind you they'll probably close the entire factory then :-( More interesting (perhaps) is that on French tv news the other day Renault said
• galaxy auto gearbox 14 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  . The local ford dealer has checked the auto oil level and says it is OK and believes it in an internal problem with the gearbox which requires specialist knowledge by an auto gearbox repairer. Is there a simple solution or is this going to be an expensive job? Any help greatfully received.

• Buying off the Internet 18 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  Anyone got any experience of buying new cars from the internet? I've found a company who reckon they can get a brand new Focus ST170 for about £4000 less than the list price. They seem genuine enough, and explained that they buy in bulk from Ford to get the discounted prices. Their cars aren't

• Cheap vans 14 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Right, where is the best place to get new (or nearly new) vans cheap? Looking at transit connect type size. How much discount should you be aiming for from a dealer? Prefer Ford Transit connect, but could slip down to Kango, berlingo, partner type vans. Anyone got any *radicle ideas
• Diesels and catalysts 16 May 2004 (Forum)
  I had a thought this evening, it may sound a stupid question but do diesels have catalytic converters? I seem to remember modern models with advanced engine management eg. 'common rail' may have them, but what about older diesels, for example Ford Mondeo TD or Vectra? I was uncertain
• Depreciation - Winners & Losers 22 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  closely by the Nissan Primera and Ford Mondeo, which both lost over 66%. There is no question that depreciation is the greatest cost of car ownership when buying new, but the Mondeo makes a great buy at 3 years old.!!!

• VW build quality strikes again 2 Mar 2003 (Forum)
  harp about 'bomb proof' build quality. I think mine has exploded again. I never, never suffered these problems with my pervious Fords or Rovers. If your thinking of buying a VW-------- DON'T. MLC
