• 2004 C-Max 2.0 TDCi fueling probs 14 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  The car showed no warnings at all but registered a " Fuel regulation" code. After some heated words with him and his boss they finally booked it in with the local Ford Dealer. Ford found some metal filings in the filter but said it didn't warrant any thing more than a software upgrade. Now waiting to hear from supermarket.................I'll return with the next chapter soon................beware C-Max owners {Car supermarket location removed as it accounts to naming / shaming, and swearing also removed - DD}

• ford mondeo 2.0 tdci 130 (2006) - dmf/turbo 22 May 2015 (Forum)
  the dmf on my mondeo is rattling like a bag of epileptic spanners, i took it to the garage to get it confirmed (which it was) but when it was plugged in to diagnostics it was showing a turbo fault code. The turbo was rebuilt in october 2014 and the actuator repaired in april 2015, the question is would a knackered dmf trigger a turbo fault code or is my turbo knackered again.

• C Max, Golf Plus or something else - Car choice conumdrum 12 Mar 2014 (Forum)
    In short I'm after something like the note but slightly bigger. I had narrowed my choice to; Ford Cmax, VW Golf plus SE, Toyota Verso and possibly the Honda CRV, price wise apart from the CRV all these cars are all pretty similar, I looked at a CMAX yesterday and to say i was disappointed is an understatement, great size, apparently reliable and cheap to run however that rear centre seat defies logic, what were Ford thinking?
