• Ford Focus C-Max 2.0tdci zetec 24 Mar 2005 (Forum)
  I diagnosed an ECU failure, the man who came to collect the car to take to the garage stated "its computers gone, its not going anywhere". I have had a similar fault on a high milage Merc Sprinter van (312000 miles). The local Ford agents have said that the EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation valve) is at fault. When I took the van to the Merc dealer they said that the EGR valve had gone, they changed it and it made no difference, they then changed the injector pump, it made no difference, they then changed the ECU, success but only with bills for £3261.00 Happily Merc paid for a goodly whack of this.

• Used tall car for tall driver 28 Apr 2018 (Forum)
   I'm 6'6" tall unfortunately which has lead to problems as even large SUV/Crossovers don't seem that much bigger inside than smaller models (the car grows but not the space for the driver). We didn't initially fancy an MPV but I sat in a Ford S-Max yesterday and it did seem more roomy and comfortable and the visibility was a lot better than the Cross/SUVs we tried (Mazda CX-5, Qashqai, VW Touareg, Ford Kuga etc).  Is this the best of the MPV bunch for comfort and space?
