  • Ford S-MAX - S-Max 2.0 Diesel or Petrol? 4 Sep 2016 (Forum)
    Having 3 teenagers (almost - youngest is 12) in the family, I've pretty much settled on a 2006-2015 (the previous model) S-MAX Titanium X.  Would like to get as new as possible, buget allowing.   Question is, should I go for the 2.0 Diesel or the 2.0 petrol?   Have done the math with my average 9.5-10k anual mileage + road tax and the petrol is coming in at around £600 more per year to run over the diesel.

  • Ford C Max 2015 125ps Ecoboost - Bluetooth only connects occasionally on C Max 7 Mar 2017 (Forum)
    Just a few words to let owners of the above car know that models fitted with Sync1 can have a  bluetooth connection issue. The solution under warantee is for a non-Ford cable to be fitted to the car. This will require the car to be with the service agent for one day, as it involves modifications to the vehicles wiring system by a external specialist. It is possible that this could effect some Focus models as well.

  • Ford S-max - Winter tyres for s-max 22 Oct 2016 (Forum)
    I have just switched from a 09 mondeo to an 11 S-max. I wondered whether the 215/55-16 winter tyres I have on steels would fit my S-max? It's currently on 225/50-17. I know there may be a small error in the speedo reading, but other that that would it be ok?
