Also had dark discolored coolant with soot particles. Took it to Dees Of Wimbledon Ford Dealer, and they (without investigation) said I need new engine for £8,000,told them to stick it. Went into local garage and they suggested could be oil cooler, egr cooler, or head gasket. After investigation they changed egr cooler.

• Buying a bike 13 Jun 2004 (Forum)
  I know there are few bikers out there, and I'd welcome their thoughts on what to buy for general commuting (50 miles/day max) and occasional fun. I have a full licence, also an old R80 BMW, but it's becoming rather high maintenance, and I'd like something lighter with brakes that work! I'm not ruling anything out (except perhaps scooters), but there seems to be huge void between 125's and 600's, with the exception of one or two 500's.
• Ford Focus Engines 22 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  I am currently looking at a Ford Focus estate for a new company car and have a few questions Why has Ford appeared to have replaced the PSA 1.6 diesel with the old 1.8 ? (I know this has been covered in a topic on the C-Max recently but if anyone knows any more it would be much appreciated as I have a mental scar with Ford diesels dating back 10 years to my first company car, a 1.8d Escort) How will either engine compare to the 1.9 Tdi 105 ?

• Ford B-MAX - Window closing & re-opening 18 May 2014 (Forum)
  I purchased a new B-Max Ford 4 door end September 2013 and within a matter of only a few weeks had a problem with rear window closing and then re-opening.   As I left a supermarket car park and pressed the opening switch for the driver door window (a multiple switch cluster on my driver door) to enable me to insert the exit ticket I must have inadvertently activated the offside rear window which of course opened.
