• Ford Granada 1990 2.OL d.o.h.c. - ABS problem 24 Jan 2016 (Forum)
    Immediately following a few miles drive, it is impossible to turn the r.h. road wheel by hand when jacked up;  if the vehicle is left for an hour or so it is then just possible with considerable effort to move the road wheel round.   No warning light appears on the dash so no defect is detected.   Ford Company, Ford main dealership and so far remanufacturing companies have been unable to help but those who have examined the vehicle agree that it is most likely that there is one sticking valve in the valve block.
• Ford Focus 1.6 tdi 2005 (65k) - turbo problems 5 Jul 2015 (Forum)
  I then went to collect it earlier this week and was told when they replaced the turbo and test drove it, it blew up! They then said they were re-ordering the part from ford and were looking into why this happened. Next thing we get another call to say ford won't covere the cost of replaceing the part as the warrenty is invalid as they needed to have changed other components alongside the turbo.

• Ford Fiesta - MOT mileage discrepancy from franchised dealer 5 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, Looking for a bit of advice. I bought a 4yr old Fiesta (ex Motability) from a Ford franchise dealer few weeks ago. Car was advertised with 21k miles on clock and sales documents from dealer state this as mileage. Last week when the new DVLA documents came though I went to check when the next MOT was due and logged onto the DVLA/VOSA website and got shock when mileage on site said 34k from the first (and only) MOT in June 2014.
• Ford Sierra (Trike) - Handbrake Inoperable. 28 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have Ford Sierra rear calipers on my Trike, they are complete with the handbrake mechanism. The handbrake has always worked OK. I recently did the yearly service on it before going to Scotland and decided to change the rear pads (as I have some new ones) as they were getting worn but not worn out.
