Mondeo auto starting problems 14 Apr 2003 (Forum)
Does anyone have any previous experience of this problem? Am I doomed to spend Sunday changing the starter motor? Are Halford?s starter motors any good?

2008 Ford Focus Mk2.5 Titanium 1.8 Duratec Petrol - 08 Ford Focus 1.8 Weird Revs/Idle No Codes But S 4 Sep 2020 (Forum)
The alternator's 3-pin plug is getting a signal to and from the ECU too apparently. It's one of those SmartCharge things Ford is adamant is a good thing. He reconnected the alternator and the car's idle went mental, rising to 2.5K and more without touching the accelerator pedal. We disconnected the 3-pin plug so it's now working as a standard alternator. -

Other - Big+Tall guy - car recommendations please 1 Nov 2016 (Forum)
Hi all, I'm 6ft 2, 500lbs with wide hips and a big behind - I'm looking to buy a car and would like some recommendations from those who may be big or tall or ideally both, on what cars they have found comfortable to drive? I don't mind whether it's manual or automatic, and I''ll be buying an old 2nd hand (max £2.5K budget) if that helps narrow things down. I'm looking for something that primarily accommodates me - I won't normally have passengers and if so, they'll have to fit themselves around me. -

Fiesta 2003 1.4TDCi - Ford Fiesta dipstick snaps 1 Apr 2014 (Forum)
and that you have a supply of gasket sealent (Usually the blue variety) as a traditional cork gasket isn't used here.
