  • Ford Focus 18 May 2010 (Forum)
    Been checking on my local Ford dealers site and there are quite a few 57 plate 1.6 Focuses for sale for £ 6995. What are running costs like for this and are they reliable? My old man hated Fords and always told me to avoid them and some of this prejudice has carried on for me as I
  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 06 1.6 Replace battery or not 16 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    What is the BRs advice on car batteries. I have an 06 Focus with the original Ford battery. So out of warranty and coming up to 4 years old. My experience with Fords is that their batteries in the past don't last long, and I've usually had to replace everyone. Would you change it before it gives

  • Ford Mondeo Clock 21 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    Please can anybody whether I can fix the following simply at home or whether it needs a garage? I have a 1998 Ford Mondeo. The digital clock only works when I switch the lights on. As soon as I switch the lights off it turns off. On my previous Mondeo this never happened. I mentioned it to my Ford
  • Ford Ka servicing, advice needed. 6 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    Hi Would Ford Ka owners give me an idea of what my servicing costs are likely to be. Fords offer three years servicing plus two years RAC breakdown cover for £470. This is based on the first two services costing £140 each and the third at £190 with basically the cost of the RAC cover thrown
  • Ford Ka - 10W30. 26 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    I was changing the oil in a friend's Ford Ka the other day. I noticed rather than more usual 10W40 the old Valencia Engine in it took 10W30. Now this seemed odd to me so I did some checking. It *seems* that the Zetec engine requires 10W30 and Ford *may* be recommending the same oil just
  • Ford Focus Radios 7 Jun 2004 (Forum)
    Hiya, I've just bought a x reg focus zetec, but it has a Ford 4000 stereo in it. I'm still trying to sell my old p reg escort which had a ford 5000 cd compatible stereo - is it worth swapping this for the one in the focus because at some stage I want to buy a cd player\autochanger or is better
  • Ford versus BMW Service Costs. 18 Aug 2003 (Forum)
    My daughter has just had her first service (7k miles) on her Ford Ka, and was somewhat taken back by a charge of £115. For a comparison the first oil and filter change at 6.5k miles on my 320d was £77 which included the cost of 5 litres of Castrol SLX synthetic oil at £11 per litre. For a mere oil
  • Ford Focus Electric Window 13 Jun 2003 (Forum)
    Friend of a friend has a problem with the driver's side electric window. The information is a bit woolly and all I have been told is that it doesn't work! I haven't looked at the car yet and don't have recent experience of Fords, so I don't want to take the car apart if it is a simple, well known
  • Air conditioning in Oct '97 Ford Mondeo 1 Aug 2002 (Forum)
    My Dad has an Oct '97 Ford Mondeo 1.8, and every time he switches the air conditioning on, the car appears to "judder" and runs very unevenly. As soon as it is switched off, it reverts back to running smoothly. It's been checked out by a Ford dealer, who says "surging" is normal when the air
  • Ford Oils 26 May 2002 (Forum)
    Can anybody shed any light on the manufacturer/quality of Ford own brand oil. I have been using mainly the 10w/40 'XR plus' oil in cars that I look after and never had any problems with it. But I was always under the impression that it was semi-synthetic and since actually reading the can

    I cannot say that the Sync 3 Infotainment system is up too much , in fact it's not much more use than Sync1 was. It seems that it can only load apps that ford choose to give an App link for. Also f you connect your phones Google Drive App up with a USB cable( it has Wireless and Bluetooth
