    I need a good-sized 5-seater with occasional seats for 7 to replace my VW Touran. We have test driven both the Ford S-Max and Hyundai Santa Fe but cannot...
  • Powershift problems with Ford S-Max 16 Dec 2014 (Ask HJ)
    I have a 2011 Ford S-Max 2.0 diesel with Powershift auto. It has only done 22,000 miles, but is more than three years old so out of warranty. The transmission...
  • Buying a new Ford Galaxy - which would you recommend? 16 Jul 2012 (Ask HJ)
    I am undecided which model Galaxy would be the better buy, short and long term. I drive 10,000 miles p.a mostly local journeys but with a 180 mile round...
  • Can you suggest an alternative to the Mercedes-Benz R-Class? 8 Apr 2012 (Ask HJ)
    My son's 2003 BMW 3 Series 3-litre 6-cylinder has been a delight but needs to be replaced. With three teenagers and increasingly long trips on the cards,...
  • Subaru Tribeca or Ford S-Max 2.5T? 30 Mar 2011 (Forum)
    Not quite the same bargain as a Tribeca but not too far short. I suspect the S-Max will be the better drive of the two and 4WD is not vital. Which one would you go for and why?
  • Vauxhall Zafira Tourer - DPF on Zafira tourer and S-Max 17 Feb 2014 (Forum)
    Hi all, I currently have a 2007 Mazda 5 2.0 diesel which I am planning on replacing with either a Zafira tourer or Ford S-Max. One thing I have never liked about my Mazda is the fact that it dumps un-burnt fuel from failed DPF regens into the oil sump.  Does anyone know if the Zafira tourer and S-Max also do the same?
  • The clutch on my 2015 Ford Focus broke after 9000 miles - should Ford pay the £1227 repair bill? 19 Aug 2017 (Ask HJ)
    I own a 2015 Ford C-Max 1.0-litre EcoBoost. The clutch burnt out on the M25 in horrendous traffic, I was lucky I found a stretch of the hard shoulder without...
  • Power straggle 19 Sep 2010 (Ask HJ)

  • Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 04 1.8 Boot Lock 3 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    I believe it's a fairly common problem for the boot lock switch on the C-Max to fail when a bit of moisture gets it. I've read somewhere, and I can't recall where, that it's just a microswitch that needs replacing instead of the Ford option which is the complete unit at £££'s.
  • S-Max Stereo help - Ford 6006 unit 26 Feb 2007 (Forum)
    Hi, I am getting a new car next month and under it's current configuration, I can't link my Ipod to it. (Other than the 'Aux in' which isn't what I'm looking for) The car is a Ford S-Max Titanium and comes with a Ford 6006 6CD unit. In my current BMW I have a Dension Ice Link that lets me use my Ipod connected to the stereo and have full use of the steering wheel controls. That is what I'm looking for - my Ipod controlled by the steering wheel controls and permantely connected to my stereo.
  • Ford S-MAX (2006 - ) - Tyre goo 4 Aug 2008 (Forum)
    Bought an S-max. I like it, however in keeping with lots of modern cars there's no spare, just goo and a compressor. Have been thinking that this will be a real pain if I do get a puncture, and I think ruins a possibly repairable tyre.
  • Motability Ford C-Max - can you recommend a replacement? 5 Oct 2014 (Ask HJ)
    My wife's Motability Ford C-Max auto diesel is shortly due for replacement. We would prefer to switch to a petrol version but Ford do not seem to provide...
  • Why are nearly new cars so cheap? 29 Jan 2016 (Ask HJ)

  • 2007 Ford S-Max 1.8TDCI 125 - Smokey Ford S-Max 1.8TDCI 125 24 Jul 2021 (Forum)
    Hi All Hoping someone might be able to help/has seen the same symptoms.  I have a 2007 Ford S-Max 1.8TDCI 125 with 93K on the clock.  I recently serviced the car; oil, oil filter and air filter.
