• Ford Focus 2008 1.6tdci 110ps - Bleeding the cooling sistem on 1.6 tdci 110ps 4 Jul 2016 (Forum)
  EGR gases on this model are liquid cooled using the engine coolant and by removing the egr radiator I've lost some coolant. Now that I have toped it off to the max level some air came out but in order to "corectly"bleed the sistem most cars have a bleeder valve wich I have not managed to locate on my car. Any sugestions?
• Are there any modern diesels without a DMF? 23 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  Thinking about changing the car (again) and I've got a preference for diesel (based on driving characteristics and economy) but seriously concerned about DMF problems that seem common place. Does anyone know of any modern, mainstream diesels (Ford, Vauxhall etc) that don't have a DMF fitted? For instance, I heard the Ford 1.8 TDCi doesn't have one. Anyone know if that's true? Or should I just go for petrol? Consensus of opinion seems to be that it's a much safer bet.
• economics of engine manufacturing 31 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  I was noticing an advert in VW's "Incredible, but true" series which told me that the price of the cheapest Golf Plus was less than that of the cheapest Ford C-Max. I checked and discovered that this was indeed true - but that the cheapest Golf Plus had a 0-60 time of 16.0 seconds - slower than any model that Ford sells in this country. In other words, the answer to the question "How do they sell them so cheap?"
• Euro iv compliant diesels 8 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Looking for a new company car and see that Ford at about to bring out a Euro iv compliant Mondeo TDCI 130 bhp. However rather than better emissions and economy its worse - 159g/km against 154g/km and combined mpg of 39.2 against 48.7. Have Ford rushed this to market - I\'m not aware of any other manufacturers who have produced euro iv complaint engines with worse figures.

  Hi,   I've just had an MOT on my S reg Ford Focus Ghia 2.0 and it failed because of the rear brake discs and brake pads are badly corroded. They have quoted £260 to replace them.   My question: Is this a reasonable price for replacing the rear brake discs and pads?

• 60 years of local car sales 20 Dec 2021 (Forum)
  Looking at the number and size of new developments that surprised me but its still a 22% increase against a UK increase of 29% over the same period. In the 1960’s we had new car dealerships for Peugeot, Vauxhall, Renault, 2 x BMC, Ford and Roots Group. By the 1970’s nothing had changed really except by the end of the decade one of the BMC dealers had changed to Toyota, Lada and FSO had appeared and for a very short time in the mid 70’s Fiat had a showroom in the local Fine Fare.
