  • Ford diesel policy 18 Aug 2005 (Forum)
    So you can now have 90, 115 or 130ps 2.0's or 155ps 2.2 Mondeo diesels, certainly a wide range. Since the current Mondeo was launched in 2000 Ford have had a lower powered 90ps diesel, though they have only now announced that they will bring it to the UK, why?

  • Ford V8 Diesel coming soon 12 Apr 2006 (Forum)
    As well as powering some top-end Fords, the engine will slot models built by other Ford-owned brands. Expect it to be available in the Jaguar S-type and XJ, Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport by the end of the year.
  • Ford Fiesta 1.25 2000 - N/S driveshaft removal from gearbox 10 Nov 2020 (Forum)
      I’ve removed the O/S driveshaft but it’s not possible to drift the N/S driveshaft out from the other side, as there’s something between them in the way. I’ve tried levering with large screwdrivers and crowbars but the webs on the casting make it difficult to get enough purchase and I've hit the wall with that approach.
  • Ecoboost vs TSI reliability 10 Oct 2015 (Ask HJ)
    I drive a 2013 Focus 1.6 TDCi with 30k on the clock which is mechanically sound. Though I enjoy a solid 54mpg in mixed driving and expect at least 10mpg...
  • what usedcar to pick ? - Seats for five tall adults 15 Jul 2015 (Forum)
    Currently we use a Fiat Panda, mainly for my commute, and a Honda Shuttle (old but good) for the family. I am thinking of a Honda Civic or perhaps an Accord estate, or maybe a Corolla Verso or a Ford C-Max, of conceivably a Skoda. Ideally the budget is under £6,000.  Any thoughts??
  • Another smoky Mondeo TDCi 31 Jan 2005 (Forum)
    I drove for a while behind a Mondeo TDCi yesterday, that was blowing big puffs of black smoke out of it's exhaust for most of the time. We were not travelling particularly quickly (60 mph max) and for part of the time we were travelling through a 30 mph limit. It was smoking badly under the most gentle acceleration and it is just one of many that I have seen do this. Is this not recognised as a widespread problem by Ford and have they tried to rectify it?
  • What should I buy? 24 Mar 2003 (Forum)
    OK, help needed as I am unable to make a decision. What should I buy? I want to spend max. £4,000 plus the value of my 205XLD (£500??). It must have at least four doors. I want reliability and good mpg. Also, I want cheap insurance and good handling and performance. Currently I'm thinking Mondeo 1.8 petrol (as Ford don't know anything abour diesels) or Xantia diesel (as PSA know everything about diesels!).

  • Baseball Cap Brigade 15 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    Have noticed here in the South West that the baseball cap brigade are moving up market. It seems they are no longer interested in Ford/Vauxhall tinware, but are belting around in old Merc 190`s and old E 30 BMW`s. Is it any wonder that BeeM drivers (and soon Mercs) are getting such a bad reputation ????
  • Mondeo Zetec S 1 May 2001 (Forum)
    Why's it taken Ford so long to produce its hot Mondeo. This was due in January, and now it seems that it will be launched in May. Have they had problems? Looking at the spec its perhaps not as hot as it seems. 170 bhp in a car with the size and weight of the Mondeo will not win any prizes.
