  • Ford Fiesta 1.4 Titanium, 59 plate - Ford Fiesta bleed nipple 2 Apr 2013 (Forum)
    Hi all Just done the front discs and pads on my son's 59 plate Ford Fiesta. In the past when I've changed pads and discs I've always released the cap on the fluid reservoir to let the pressure go when I push in the piston to accommodate the new pads.

  • Ford Focus - Another Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Problem - Error codes 17 Oct 2012 (Forum)
    I've got a 2006 Ford Focus Studio 1.6 TDCi (110K) and a few weeks ago the engine just cut out on me whilst on the motorway.  Could only get it started again with some "easy start" and took it to the garage. They replaced what they believed to be the cause of the problem which was the CAM sensor.

  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 99 1.8 Valve clearance checking and adjusting conc 2 Aug 2009 (Forum)

  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.6 Speedometer and Traction Control light pr 12 Jul 2008 (Forum)
    Now the speedo does not work at all, and after driving a short distance the same problem occurs with the TC and odometer. I have taken the car to several garages, including Ford. Ford could not diagnose the problem a few months ago and by re setting the computer the problem corrected itself. It reappeared last week when I drove through a puddle! So far the garages have said it could be either the whole display panel or the Vehicle Speed Sensor.
  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 08 1.8 Petrol oil and filter advice please 12 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    Bought brand new 1.8 petrol Zetec Climate Focus today (9-1-08) 10 miles on mileometer. This is the current model pre the February facelift . On the Ford Service blurb provided it says first service in 12.5K miles OR a year , now as I tend now to do 5K miles a year only, and have a lot of short journeys ie 4 miles to work and 4 miles home - can I ask OK to adhere to the Ford Advice ?

  • Ford Ka - Ford Ka - Repair or sc***? 17 Sep 2024 (Forum)
    I work from home and barely do 2,000 a year. My budget is £2k for a new second hand car and realised that might be better to stick with my Ford Ka - the devil I know than taking a gamble on a cheap car. What do you think? Thanks ever so much in advance, Rachel
