  • Ford 1.0L Ecoboost Engines 28 Dec 2013 (Forum)
    One of my relatives has test driven a new Ford C-Max Grand fitted with the 'new' 1.0L Ecoboost engine thing.  I don't know much about them, but are they really up to the job of lugging a 7 seater around? I can't say that I have heard any bad reports about them but are they built to last?

  • Ford C-MAX - £5.5k Cmax or £6k Octavia with more miles? 13 Nov 2010 (Forum)
    If I bought the Ford (swmbo's favourite) I could bank some money to offset future repairs - but £500 to £1000 won't go that far! I've also considered Mondeo and Accord estates, but again the mileage would be a lot greater than the Cmax for the same budget.
  • Ford C-MAX (2003 - 2010) - Jiggered Engine, but whose fault is it? 8 Jan 2010 (Forum)
    I asked on here the other week about the effect of replacing an engine on the value of a car. Well, my C-Max TDCi is still in the garage awaiting its new engine while we decide who should pay for it. Short history: Bought, freshly serviced at 10,000 miles. At 37,000 miles (within warranty period) the turbo blows up.
