  • 2008 Mondeo 2.0 tdci - Contaminated oil, Diesel in Oil 24 Nov 2014 (Forum)
    I had Engine Malfunction come up on the display and took the car to Ford but they said its likely to be a faulty sensor and reset it. It happened again and this time they reset it and showed me how to reset it in future. My 2008 Mondeo has now just died. The garage have found that there was 9
  • Citroen Berlingo Multispace - DEPOSIT ON NEW CAR 25 May 2014 (Forum)
    she saw a new Ford Tourneo for about the same price and much preferred it, so she phoned to cancel.  They said they required confirmation of cancellation in writing, which she did the next day. Citroen are now refusing to refund any of the £500 deposit.  Is this normal

  • Cars with best heaters for cold oldies? 18 Jan 2013 (Forum)
    Any thoughts from those familiar with many different models?  I've always found Fords with small engines warm up in no time. My 2.8 Audi is useless at warming the cabin until at least 5 miles.   Car testers provide data on all sorts of things but never how quickly the heater works
