• Ford Mondeo - Unleaded - Smell of fumes/exhaust inside the car 3 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  But when I told the Ford garage about this, they said that fumes cannot get into the car as the under carraige of  the car is covered so as to not allow fumes to get into the car.

The car didn't even have airbags! I have a budget of 8k.

  My Zafira (DY 10 PLATE full service history) temprature warning light came on when I was driving on the motorway and when I found a safe place to pull over close to an exit (had 4 kids in the car) I stopped the car.
