• ford focus estate tdci - plug in tuning boxes 8 Feb 2016 (Forum)
  I drive a Focus estate 1.8 Tdci, so im no performance junkie, but what made me sit up and take notice was the advertised 10% improvement in fuel economy and promise of smoother running, eliminating flat spots and bogging down, which my car seems particularly prone to. The fact this device is supposed to boost BHP from 115 to @135 isn't as important to me as the fact that this box should lead to a better running more economical car.

• Ford Focus 5Dr Hatchback 2.0 Ltr TDCI - Starting Problems 4 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  On occasion I have kept the key turned and 50% of the time it will eventually start but takes a long time. Once started it runs fine and feels as smooth and powerful as the day I bought it over four years ago. There has been no increase in fuel consumption either.There is not set pattern to when this happens it can be with a cold or warm engine or when it hasn't been used for 24hrs or just been on a long run.
