  • Ford Designers 9 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    Owned a Peugeot many years ago that had sensors on the pads to indicate changing them before the discs became damaged. Ford pay their designers handsomely, so instead of fancy anti glare mirrors and "intelligent" wipers, why can't these boffins design, on all models, a device to warn when the pads
  • Ford - How do you stick up a rear view mirror? 25 Dec 2007 (Forum)

  • Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - W reg 2.0 Zetec - Cold start screeching noise 26 Nov 2007 (Forum)
    My W reg Ford Mondeo 2.0 Zetec makes a funny noise when started from cold. It sounds like a belt screeching, but soon disappears when the car has warmed up a little (after around 5 minutes). Any idea as to what this could be? It's not as loud as a worn fanbelt and the noise is quite high pitched

  • Ford KA, KA2, KA3 (1996 - 2008) - Changing wiper blades 23 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    I realise that this will identify me as the most technically thick member of the back room ever, but I purchased some Bosch Super Plus wiper blades for my Ford Ka in Halfords, being reassured by the words "Blade change in seconds" and "makes changing wiper blades a child's play". I was able
  • Ford Fusion (2002 - 2008) - Zetec 1.6HDi - opinions welcome 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    I'm being tempted to buy a Ford Fusion Zetec 1.6HDi and wonder what experience people might have of it. There's comment in road tests about the noise level, for example. What about fuel economy? I thought the driver's seat was a bit small and lacked thigh support.... Anyone done more than 50K

  • Ford Sierra Ghia misfiring 23 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Hi there. I have a 1989 (G reg) Ford Sierra Ghia I which is misfiring & stalling badly - sometimes! Other times it runs beautifully.
