• The truncated rev range myth? 4 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Useful min: 1600 rpm (35%) (defining this as when it starts to pull hard and is useful to overtake). Useful max: 4500 rpm (100%) (the red line - it pulls all the way). My last car (1.8 Xsara VTR) Useful Min: 2600 rpm (37%) Useful max: 6500 rpm (92%) So, my diesel is useable through 65% of it's rev range, my previous petrol through 55%.

• 2004 Ford Focus CMAX 1.8 Duratec HE Petrol Manual - Brake Light Fault 14 Dec 2013 (Forum)
  First post, hello all. I've been offered a c-max 1.8 duratec petrol which has a few issues. Messages 'brake light fault' and 'engine systems fault' when the car is started. I've plugged an obd2 reader and originally had 3 codes, 2 of which I've sorted (dodgy coil connection and a broken cooling fan control wire) The third started as: P0571 - Cruise Control/Brake Switch 'A' Circuit Malfunction So, I investigated the two switches on the brake pedal.
