• Ford Mondeo - Large family car recommendations 6 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Hi all,   I'm looking to get a larger family car as our current 2013 Ford Focus is getting on a bit but also is a bit too small for our needs - it was bought over a year before our (now) 10-month old baby was even planned! Therefore the Focus' boot space isn't sufficient for our Joie DLX pushchair and Britax car seat.

• Ford Fiesta 2010 - Do I need to change timing belt before its time? 16 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  I phoned Ford service who told me none were made in their dealers. I can understand that as I always go to my local garage but the fact I have no history on the car is a bit worrying even though the mechanic said the car was in good condition for six year old. Can a timing belt be damaged if the person was driving short distances and type of driving, or if the car wasn't serviced properly or is it just with miles and age that a timing belt get damaged?
