  • Ford B Max. - Well...I went and did it. 2 Aug 2017 (Forum)
    Well, despite all the advice I went and did it.  I bought a B Max with Powershift, and no, I hadn't researched Powershift problems beforehand. On that previous thread I told a slight porky when I said I'd had a "look" at one...in fact, I'd already agreed to buy, and when Powershift issues were mentioned in response to that comment, I spent a sleepless night wondering whether to pull out of the sale.
  • Ford focus 1.8 tdci 03 plate - Help air con 24 Jun 2014 (Forum)
    I have a focus with ac issue. The air con doesn't work although light displays on panel. Gas is full to max as filled it. Something I have noticed is the cooling fan is on even on cold start. A colleague looked at it and said the acon pressure sensor could cause this, anyone agree? He said if cooling fan stays on and Acon gives poor reading on pressure may not allude ac to operate Any help would be great

    My Ford Focus has done 81,000 miles and is still driving well but it is 15 years old so I am thinking about what car I would like if things go wrong with my current Focus.
