• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 06 1.6tdci 6000 RDS CD Stereo- bluetooth? 3 Oct 2008 (Forum)
  Hi, just got the C-Max back, after the stereo was replaced under warranty. I've noticed that the 'advanced' menu has a bluetooth on/off toggle. But does the unit actually have a bluetooth radio installed? I've tried pairing it from a Nokia 6300 handset, but the phone finds nothing.

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Water leak in boot area 14 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  I have water leaking into the rear drivers side of the C Max in the boot. It shows up on the plastic lip that the parcel shelf sits on. I have has the rear light out and also put a hose around but cannot find the leak-but as soon as it rains its there.

• Ford Focus/C-max radiator blocking 19 Feb 2007 (Forum)
  I was in the supermarket today and browsed through the latest AutoExpress. They had done a strip-down on a 2004 Ford C-Max (TDCI, I think) which had done 60k miles - just to see how well it had worn. I was staggered to read that they found 1/3 of the radiator core was blocked (presumbaly with scale and corrosion).

• Ford B-MAX - ford 1.0 ecoboost 19 Sep 2021 (Forum)
  I'm looking into getting a 2nd car run around for my wife and young one, it will mainly be used for school runs of about 20mile round trip twice a day and only in unusual circumstances will it be used for long journeys ( long journeys will be in the bigger family car ) . At the moment  ( early stage research ) the car my better half likes is the b-max , but which engine 1.6 , 1.5 diesel or and there seems more about is the 1.0 ecoboost petrol .  The budget is £5k to £7k and one big question I have is how long will a 1.0 petrol last 100k, 150k without being too much of a problem.

• any - ?? Seven seats + petrol + automatic, under £ 25 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  We really like the engines and reliability. The options for our rather niche requirements seem to be Toyota Verso or possibly a Ford S-Max. (I am not bothering to consider the Zafira.) Otherwise it's only a Mitsubishi Grandis which is rather old, or indeed an imported Honda, like an Odyssey (which drives very well.) She wants something roomy but not enormous, ie. not a Previa/Estima or similar.
