• Ford Fiesta ST - Query About A HJ Review 28 Mar 2015 (Forum)
    I sold back my ST to the dealer in February '14 after similar issues (amongst others) and got nowhere with either dealers or Ford HQ. I wonder if the car above was my car sold to some other poor soul?   For my own piece of mind I would liked to know if that was my old car and whether the new owner was looked after.

  Hi, I'll try and keep this short :-) My Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Mk2 keeps going in to limp home mode but showing no errors and appears to be OK after turning off and on the engine - but under load (e.g. up a hill) will go back in to limp home mode and kick out a cloud of smoke.

• Ford Focus Estate - Heater resistor pack 21 Apr 2014 (Forum)
  Hi all, Can anyone help me with my heater problem on my 2001 ford focus. Last week smoke came from vents so pulled over and realised that 123 on the heater switch didn't work but 4 did. I was told it would be the heater resistor fuse gone so I purchased a new one and fitted it into the fuse block behind the glovebox,I left it out to test if everything was ok before securing it and when I started the engine I noticed that black smoke was coming from the resistor fuse block,this was new so have removed the resistor and am now perplexed as to why this is happening.

• 2003 Ford KA - Sucker gets ripped off 16 Sep 2013 (Forum)
  You are also a single mum with a disabled child and therefore short of cash and tolerance for knobjockeys and would probably pursue a claim quite far, if it had a reasonable chance of success. What do you do now? (2003 Ford KA for £800.)
• Ford Focus Estate 2007 - Buckled Wheels 18 Jul 2013 (Forum)
  I moved it to the rear and the road noise/vibration got worse so I think I might have two buckled wheels at least. Would it be better to get the solid disc wheels I have seen on other Ford Focus models? Are these at any less risk of getting buckled? I read an article elsewhere in this forum about getting 15 inch wheels instead of 16 inch and fitting higher profile tyres to protect the rims from potholes.
• Ford fiesta 06 plate - Melting vs. replacing 18 May 2013 (Forum)
  Hi, I need some advice. My ford fiesta 1.25 06 plate was bumped in to last weekend and the bumper has been split and paint damaged. I took it to a body specialist I know and he said that the bumper needed replacing. The person who bumped in to my car has taken photos and his body specialist has said that he will melt the plastic back together, paint and then reinforce.
• Ford Focus Tdci 2010 - 2010 Focus Tdci engine problem ,,,,,,,, 9 Apr 2013 (Forum)
  Also does it at other speeds in other gears. The car has just run out of warranty and had it's 30k service by Ford about 6 weeks ago. It was down to half a tank of fuel so - I've just brimmed it with fuel from another garage to see if it was maybe a dodgy batch of fuel - but didn't make any difference at all.
