• Ford Mondeo - Ford Mondeo 2009 2.0 TDCi Gearbox Syncromesh probl 5 Jan 2014 (Forum)
  Hi, I am looking at buying a 2009 Ford Mondeo 2009 2.0 TDCI that appears to have a problem when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear which results in a low level crunch sound as the gear engages. All other gear changes are noise free and if the 2nd to 3rd change is carried out very slowly with care it is possible to avoid the crunching.
• ford focus - ford focus jumping and loss of power 15 Jun 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, I have a Ford Focus 1.6 zetec on a Y plate and has done approximately 150000 miles. Over the past week or so, the car has started to jump on occasion when at low speeds and pulling away.

  Hello, Hoping for an answer. The alarm on my 53 plate ford fiesta zetec keeps going off randomly. This only happens at night (usually between 0000-0400).

• Ford Focus - Problem with ford focus- fuel leak and other issue 23 May 2013 (Forum)
  Hi I have a v reg ford focus. I think it has a fuel leak as the petrol warning light is always on even after I've put petrol in. However lately it has developed another problem whereby it cuts out at low revs, and sometimes the speedometer doesn't work and ill be driving along but it's at zero. when first started in morning it starts up easily but seems to struggle to move away as if the petrol isn't getting through.

  Hi, My car has a bad fuel pump and I dont want to pay Ford for a new fuel pump. Can anyone tell me what part number I need for a replacement part or have any pictures of the one I need?

• Ford Focus - Ford Focus 2001 1.8 Zetec Steering question 5 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  I have recently bought a 2001 Focus 1.8 16v, and I have noticed that when I move the steering wheel just slightly to the left or right from straight, it doesn't straighten itself out and keeps gently veering whichever way, when on the flat. To the more experienced Ford owners out there, it this normal, or should I get something checked (tracking/something else?) Perhaps I have been spoiled by driving VWs for too long but it does seem a little odd. Apologies if this is a niaive question, but I am an Electronics/Software guy, nowhere near a mechanic!

• Ford Focus - Ford: refusing valid perforation warranty claims 20 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  I've noticed that Ford nowadays will do its utmost to avoid accepting claims against the bodywork perforation warranty. (This is in contrast to the situation a few years ago where they tended to accept valid claims without quibbling).

• How did Ford gain a massive UK share? 8 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I know this share is falling in recent years but somebody has given me a Which guide to cars from 1991 and it states that Ford have 25% of the market (probably not even 10% now). When you consider the awful cars of 1991, the MK3 Fiesta (was ok but no 205), the original pre modified Escort MK5 (the worst car Ford ever made?)
