• can a car door unlock itself? 23 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Ford Ka. Base model. Not remote or central locking. Two or three times in the past few months I've found the passenger door of our Ford Ka unlocked. The obvious answer is that someone failed to lock it.
• Dirty oil after recent major service 3 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I have a Ford Mondeo Estate 2.0 TDCi. The car was registered in Oct 2003 and has done 31,000 miles. It is in good condition. I had a major service carried out a the local Ford dealership 2 days and 25 miles ago.

• Ford Endura-DE Turbo Diesel Misfire 20 Jan 2006 (Forum)

• Ford Mondeo II (1996 - 2000) - Question about new clutches. 98 1.8 TDi 4 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Hi, I've got an R reg 1.8 Diesel, and I've just had the clutch replaced. I took it out for the first time today, and I'm a bit concerned as the gears keep...
• Relax - I'm doing it. 11 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  "What?" you ask. I'll tell you - the cambelt. Ford reckon 100k. Many of you reckon 50. I'm on 70k now and have taken it as far as I dare. I know realistically Ford would never pay out in the event of a snap but I didn't want to be changing it at 50k - I think it's a bit too early.
• Ford Fiesta Steering Lock 2 Jun 2005 (Forum)
  The steering lock on my M reg 1995 Fiesta Sapphire got stuck on today. Its been playing up for a while and has been awkward to get off but it has never...
• anxious to shift metal 14 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  Seeing that Ford are claiming to offer "up to £2000" extra trade in to new car buyers makes me wonder if the trade really is that quiet currently? Clearly there's oversupply (production) in Europe. We're spoilt for choice of vehicles these days, but is Ford, in particular, having a hard time, I wonder.
• Ford Mondeo Td Immobilizer 16 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Hi! Can anyone help with this problem? Car -a 1997 Mondeo TD. Well maintained etc; Working fine and then go to start it again and nothing.AA called(lovely...
• Mondeo TDCi - is anybody happy 25 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I have to opt out of my company car soon and was pretty set on getting a 6mths or so old Mondeo TDCi - perhaps a Ford Direct one. However I've now read many horror stories about problems with the car, the dealer and with Ford themselves. As with all things, we'll generally only hear about problem cars - so is there anyone doing, say 25-30K/yr in a Mondeo TDCi who is pretty satisfied with the car & the dealer?
• Ford Mondeo TDDi Drive Shaft 30 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  I recently hit my Mondeo Diesel TDDi 2001 Model into a drain and broke my driveshaft. While waiting for a new driveshaft replacement, the mechanic has...
• Best design feature 23 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Wow that's really good, why can't all cars have that...?' I nominate the heated front screen as seen on upscale Fords. Why they don't fit these to Volvos (Ford owned of course) - it must get frosty in Sweden? -- Espada III - well if you have a family and need a Lamborghini, what else do you drive?
• Electric seat memory Mondeo GhiaX 14 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Does anyone know if Ford or anyone else can retro fit those useful memory buttons that store each drivers seat position preferences?
• Wheel Balancing - Ford Focus 13 Feb 2004 (Forum)

• New Fiesta - Speed Warning Tone? 28 Jan 2003 (Forum)
  It sounds like a wind resonance (not another tellytubbie I hope!!). It's so consistent on various hire cars it could be construed as a cunning Ford design to deter speeders. Are Ford that clever, or is it just a resonance overlooked during design, perhaps the aerial? Any ideas?
• Mazda 6 HJ comment? 16 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  In my innocence I would imagine that this is something let loose on the public to iron out the bugs. Yet doesn't the Mazda brand generally have better reliability results than Ford? Tongue in cheek, surely Ford aren't deliberately engineering unreliability in to keep their dealers going?
• Diagnostics. 17 May 2002 (Forum)
  My gut feeling is to avoid Ford. Can an independant mechanic diagnose these problems? I'd like an answer back on this quick. -- Parp, Parp!
• Ford Zetec Problems 27 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  Is there an inherent fault with the thermostat sticking open on these engines? I have owned a 2.0i Mondeo from new in 1996. Just over a year ago the temp...
• No gearbox drain plug?!? 9 Nov 2001 (Forum)
  When I queried this with the Ford garage I was told that oil can be added but not drained. I put it to him that the oil in the gearbox would therefore last the lifetime of the car and he agreed...
