• Ford Kuga 2.0TDCI Powershift Auto - Gearbox replacement 11 Jun 2021 (Forum)
  I bought an ex demo 2014 Kuga auto from Ford dealer in April 2015. Since then it has been fully serviced by the same Ford main dealer. It has now covered just under 33,000 miles from new. I had to get the vehicle recovered last week and have been advised that all the gearbox mounting bolts are missing or sheared and the gearbox and transfer box have separated and been damaged and need to be replaced at a cost of over £5k I have approached both the dealer and Ford UK and neither are willing to pay anything towards the repair.
• Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 / Ford Mondeo Diesel Engines 8 Apr 2010 (Forum)
  I understand that the Mazda 6 and Ford Mondeo are built on the same platform?  If this is correct I'm assuming the Mazda 2.0 MZR-CD RF diesel engine is the same PSA designed unit as the Ford 2.0 Duratorq TDCi diesel engine (As Ford seem to be a majority owner of Mazda) - is my assumption correct, are they totally different or are there subtle differences between the two?

• Buying advice - family car for three in rear 30 Oct 2023 (Forum)
  Have looked at a Zafira but don't particularly like the interior layout and boot space does not really seem much better than the Astra Most 7 seater MPVs seem to be too small (Kia Carens, Toyota Verso, C-max, Mazda 5 etc). Conversely the large 7-seaters (Galaxy/Alahambra/Touran) are too big for my partner to park/navigate on the narrow lanes near us. This leaves me pretty much with the S-Max unless I am missing something.

• Aston Martin 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  I see Aston Martin are to shift production of their V12 motor away from Cosworth Engineering (VAG subsidary) to Fords engine plant in Cologne from next year. It seems a great shame that this could not have been kept in the U.K. by switching the production to the Ford`s Bridgend operation.
• Audi A4 2012 - Car With Little Or No Mileage In Last 12 Months 14 Jun 2016 (Forum)
  I have been looking at a car on autotrader.co.uk that is being sold by a dealer in Peterborough. It is a 2012 s line Audi A4. It looks like a lovely car but I had a look at the MOT history on carcheck.co.uk and found that it has basically barely been driven at all between its last 2 MOTs (almost 94k miles in June 2016 and only 20 miles less in July 2015).

• Volkswagen Passat (2001 - 2005) - '03, 1.9 PD TDi - low mpg 19 Feb 2008 (Forum)
  This has happened in the past and the mpg figures usually increase following the service (usually the same with performance). My usual figures were from high 40's up to a max of 55mpg. Most of my journey each day takes me along the motorway and I tend to drive the car pretty enthusiastically. The figures have since dropped to high 30s to a max of about 47mpg (taking it really easy) but I've not noticed a change in performance.

• Ford fiesta ecoboost 1l - Ecoboost wet belt query 14 Apr 2024 (Forum)
  I have been quoted 1.7k for the wet belt to be repaired, however have been advised that it would not be known if the engine is damaged until the repair is completed (due to driving with the warning light on). Are able to give 3-400 for sc***. It is a 2015 plate with 100k miles.  Any comments/advice would be welcome as unsure how to proceed with this. Many thanks   
• Ford Focus - Best used car to buy for £3-4k & sell next Feb? 3 Jul 2014 (Forum)
  We'll be back in the UK as a family from August until Feb 2015, and have £3-4k to spend on a used car that we'll want to sell again in February when we head back overseas. We'll do mostly city driving with a few motorway trips, and need something that can take 3 child seats across the back (don't mind if it's a bit squeezed).
