My Fusion started to misfire at 1500-2000 revs - just fine at idle, and pretty much OK after 2000 as well ... all gears. No problems when coming down the revs.

Garage put in new coilpack and HT leads (just had new plugs at service). This sorted the problem and the car was silky smooth.... Read more

We all moan about poor driving standards these days but two weeks ago they hit a new low, I noticed a driving school car continuously straying into the second lane on a fast A road, I assumed it was a (rubbish) learner driver, as I (carefully) overtook him I saw there was only one person in the car (the instructor I presume) he was looking down at an iPad on the passenger seat – writing an email? It’s no wonder drivers are so bad if instructors take road safety so lightly. I had a go at him at the next set of lights, he wound his window down and shouted a few obscenities at me for pointing out his stupidity before driving off! Read more

Saw a similar previous post when researching this so thought I'd join up and pose this one.

This morning, my wife rear ended an old lady at the junction coming off the motorway. The old lady was looking quite confused before she pulled away when the lights changed then suddenly, for no reason pulled an emergency stop right in the middle of a boxed area on the roundabout where the road splits into three separate routes, seemingly confused and panicked by the road layout. ...

Heres a poser then. work done over the last 2 years. New turbo fitted and all seems fine with it. Actuator arm moves freely no issues in the vacuum pipes. No splits in the pipe work running round to the inlet manifold. EGR valve is as clean as a whistle and functions ok although I have blanked the thing off. Inlet manifold is also cleaned and fitted new gaskets when replacing. Intercooler is clear and no splits. Dual mass flywheel replaced including new clutch etc. New set of injectors and recode including a software update. New exhaust system including cat. No fault codes, no flashing glow plug light and no error codes. The car runs sweet but lacks the sizzle it used to have when you ask it perform. I get a rumbling sound which I thought was exhaust when you squeeze the throttle and at the point where the turbo starts to kick in. Its not exhaust more like the engine is struggling to draw air through the pipe work instead of the turbo forcing air through. I am thinking map sensor may be duff. MAP sensor was taken out to clean and when replaced the engine became noisy the good old diesel clatter. The clatter is not bad but is always present, lack of air? MPG is reading 54.2 and pretty constant although put your foot down and it drops off quickly. Any ideas guys? Read more
