• Old tyre advise 9 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  Advice which I used to practice untill this car when I didn,t bother almost to my cost. When you get new tyres swop the best one for the spare,otherwise the spare will end up old and perished with cracked sidewalls about to give up the ghost. Mine went flat while waiting at tyre centre less than 15 miles and 24 hours from the time it had to be used.
• Ford Focus Estate - 2017 Focus deals vs 4-5 year old cars 15 Feb 2018 (Forum)
  Still returning 42mpg but the transmission slop is getting worse and it's developing a taste for oil gradually. I've had a good look round Autotrader and at discount new car websites. The cost of ownership for a 3 or 4 year old car and a new one is almost the same. The cost per month is within £10 - 20 between a 5 year old car and a new one. I'd be happy with a 1.0 125ps Ecoboost or the 1.5 150ps Ecoboost.
