• Ford S-Max 1.8 TDCI - S-Max 1.8 TDCI - Misfire under load. 3 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Hi Guys, I have an unusual problem with my S-Max... Under load the car misfire's and really struggles to rev. However, the really peculiar thing is that it is particularly bad when the fuel tank is full and becomes less noticeable/problematic as the tank empties.
• Ford S-MAX - Ford S-Max steering whine - has there been a recall? 5 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a slight whine on the steering on my wife's S-Max. I took it into my local garage for a service yesterday and also asked the mechanic to cast his eye over the steering to see what the problem was. He said he is 98% sure that its the pump and will be an expensive job.
• SpeedSpike Camera`s - you know it makes sense. 21 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  You can`t help feeling it`s an opportunity missed though. Surely the technology exists to govern cars speed direct from the ECU - via global positioning and also regulate the gap to the car in front? Somehow, you just know that`s the future and an election winning policy for the first political party to embrace it.
• Zurich Insurance and M&S vouchers 10 Sep 2008 (Forum)
  Last August, 2007, prior to wife's car insurance expiring I searched via Confused.com and was offered a quote from Zurich, good cover, cheaper than her renewal and £50 in M&S vouchers, a good deal. This year I searched via Confused.com again and was again offered a Zurich quote and it was for less than the Zurich renewal and again offered £50 in M&S vouchers. I called Zurich to ask why the Confused quote was less than the renewal (same details exactly) to be advised that we could take out a new policy at the lower price AND get the M&S vouchers however if we renewed the existing policy we would pay the higher price sans vouchers.

  I had been happily doing 70 MPH with this tyre!. Next trip was to the tyre shop and have now shod it with Dunlop SP30?s all round. I not suggesting this is a common fault, but I?d advise checking B391?s when they are well worn. Happy motoring.

• Fiesta Zetec s 21 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Hello all, I am interested in buying a 2002 plate Fiesta Zetec S 1.6. I've looked on car review sites and tried to get a picture of what they're like to own but there seems to be a lot of variety in peoples opinions.

  Just bought a 2001 TD5 S Discovery, but there is no handbook. The main dealers charge over £30 for one and can't supply for some weeks. Any ideas for getting a copy elsewhere or even photocopy of pages. Also, does anyone know where you can get sidesteps (apart from main dealer?)
• S*** C***** - Erroneous Flash? 7 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  Pulling out of a side Road onto the Eastern Avenue at Newbury Park (Nr the Avenue Pub) I saw an empty dual carriageway to my right, but the s*** C***** about 250 yards away flashed although no car passed by. Do they self test? Could it have been the Ghost of Ernies Fastest Milk Cart in the West?

  He’s had the car for 3 years and its never been in an accident. On further investigation, he discovered it was now marked as a Cat S.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

• Air con - Mini Cooper S 12 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  A mate of mine is considering buying a Cooper S which does not have aircon as standard equipment. I have pointed out that aircon is virtually essential these days. He is reluctant to spend extra as his current car has aircon and he rarely, if ever, uses it.
• Audi Q3 S Line Plus - Tyres/wheels 16 Nov 2015 (Forum)
  I have a Q3 S-line Plus. Comes with 19 inch wheels and I think smaller wheels would be quieter and more comfortable. Should I go for 18 inch or 17 inch and will roadholding be compromised. Any experience of Michelin Cross Max?
