  C Max has two NCT tyres on the front which I want to replace as they are worn. On the rear is a mix of a 1/2 worn NCT5 and a Champiro tyre thats almost new. Of course if I have two new tyres the NCT 5 and Champiro would be put on the front.
• How can you tell? 21 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  I have been driving a C-max for a few days, I put it on my insurance so gave the ins co the reg and model details - C-Max Zetec 1.6 TDCi 110. When I received the temp cover note it stated C-Max Zetec 1.6 TDCi 90, the Ford dealer insisted it is a 110 and they should know, they ordered it and have it on the Ford system as a 110.

• Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - 2005 1.6 Zetec - Replacing wipers 15 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  She went to the local autostore but they advised that they don't sell wipers for this and she would need to go to a Ford dealer to get them. Anyone know of an alternative to the Ford dealer, preferably on the web? Or how much are they in dealer? I remember being pleasantly surprised at how reasonable my Skoda wipers were from the main dealer but not sure if Ford are the same (my Renault Scenic were extortionate from the dealer)

  Our C max is a 58 reg and had done just under 24000 miles when the turbocharger failed. The car was out of warranty so we had to pay the £1300 + for repairs.
