• New Focus for 2007 20 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  According to this weeks AutoExpress, the end of this year there will be a revised Ford Focus. External styling clues from new Mondeo make it bolder and better looking IMHO. And updates to the C-MAX will be used to adapt the interior. I think this is the car the MkII Focus should have been if it ends up looking lijke the images in the magazine.
• Ford Fiesta Zetec S Diesel - Quick Review 29 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  I've just posted a quick review of my early impressions of my new Fiesta Zetec S TDCI if anyone is interested - a little gem so far and could be one of the best all round cars I've owned.  (famous last words lol, will prob conk out on the way home tonight now I've jinxed it) Someting of a contrast with a 1.1 D reg example I had in the late 80's in a ghastly maroon and which had the most alarming understeer I've ever encountered.

• Used Car MArket - current state ? 15 Sep 2014 (Forum)
  I am making the assumption that  people are really feeling the pinch so only selling vehicles when they have to ie. if theres an issue. (I'm certainly in thisposition..) I'm also in S London just inside M25 and there is hardly anything local  unless you want a Ford or Vauxhall (I dont) What are other peoples experiences. ? I had thought withthe new reg-chhange in Septemebr there would be more p-ex's coming onto the market, but if anything ther are less vehicles appearing on autotrader that catch my interest..
• I miss my diesel! 23 Aug 2012 (Forum)
  My diesel at home is a Ford S-Max 2.0 TDCi with 6sp slushbox auto. 140bhp.  It pulls a large heavy car with a surprising amount of verve and the wave of torque is marvellous coming up a hill on the motorway.  I didn't buy that engine for economy or driveability; simply because the only petrol auto was a dreadful 2.3 iron lump that no-one wanted.
• Panoramic Sunroof - Has anyone had problems? 23 Aug 2010 (Forum)
  Like the front windscreen the sunroof is part of the stuctute of the car and was wondering how will it stand potholes, rough roads etc. Ford S-max owners have reported seeing crack in the sunroof after a few years. Nissan brochure says they are very strong. Just that in the past i had a cricket ball smash through my small sunroof on a '96 mondeo.
• Which car for around £3-4k? 31 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I've owned Japanese for the last 5 years, so I was leaning that way, but Japanese diesels aren't freely available for around my budget (correct me if I'm wrong). First thoughts were Focus diesels, maybe 306's, but these are massive come-downs from Japanese cars - I'm used to air/con, CD players, all the little 'standard' things on Japanese cars that the likes of Ford, etc charge extra for (or badge as Ghias).
• Ford Mondeo 1.5 Petrol - Used Car Missing Service 22 Mar 2019 (Forum)
  I am considering a new to me car and have spotted a used Mondeo petrol that generally fits the bill. Looking at the dealer photos one includes the service book as follows: PDI Oct 2015 1st Service Oct 2017 at 20k No other services included in the records - nothing for Oct 2016 or Oct 2018. I thought Ford petrol engines had a one year 12.5k interval. Current mileage about 30k Is this car worth a look considering the lack of service?

• Ford - Fluorescent Fords 25 Aug 2009 (Forum)
  I remember seeing some fluorescent Fords in the early 1970?s; they were either pale green or pink(ish) and were both on Capri and Escort models. The finish was matt, not metallic and they really were fluorescent. Not seen one for ages and ages.
• Ford Focus Estate - Ford Focus Mk1 - Petrol or Diesel? 27 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  My choice for the Mk1's (and Mk 1.5's) seem to either of 2 diesel engines, the 1.8TDDi and the 1.8 TDCi, or the 1.6 petrol engine. I would appreciate any comments or advise on which is the better to buy. I do about 10,000 miles/year, including long runs from East Anglia to Scotland 4-5 times a year
