I was hoping some one might know of a guide to change the links on a ford focus 1.8 petrol (04). I have just bought one the drivers was was done as parts of the pre delivery inspection. But I think the passenger side can't be far long behind it ?; so I though a little preventative maintenance may be whats needed. Is there a guide lurking round here for this job or where might a new ford...

I am having problems with the park assist - there was heavy rain and then I got a message that it needs servicing. It occurs to me that now it has dried out it may all be fine and just need resetting. Is there a cable and software I can get to check this on my laptop and do the resetting myself? Or is this gear very expensive? I had two quotes to do the diagnostics of around £40 +...

I called my local ford specialist the cost of a cambelt/tension/water pump is £422 inc vat and labour sounded a bit high to me. They did say its a 2 hours job. Second garage indy £270 all in for the cambelt only not the water pump, I just out of habit get the water pump done. I'm just wondering whats a reasonable price for this job ? Although I may source the parts from euro car parts or...

(Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec 2001) Hi, I know this "central locking unlocking itself whilst stationary" is a common problem. It happened before and lots of locking and unlocking cured it for a couple of years. Its happened again now. Found the car unlocked and ransacked after a weekend away, and the doors were immediately unlocking after locking, but a

My mother has a 2006 Fusion and the remote key has died (PATS is fine - will start the car) I tried changing the battery but no life at all. I reckon the key has died but to check I tried to put the car into programming mode - I understand that turning from pos II to nothing 4 times in 3 seconds and then removing the key should do this and the led should come on without flashing. When I do this...

Does anyone know if the 2.5 diesel fitted to an 05 plate Vauxhall Movano (rebadged Renault?) is common with other vehicles? Our crewbus has thrown a rod through the block and secondhand engines seem difficult to find. It was ex AMECH Rail and had a sticker saying "do not exceed 159,000miles", guess what the mileage was when it blew... AJH

Just how do you remove the door locks on the sliding side door. Plastic handle has broken, but bought a new complete plastic moulding and handle. But I now have to remove the lock. Any ideas ?

I have a 1.8 ghia petrol focus 2004 model. I pulled away this afternoon and the battery light came on. I turns the car off and then retstarted and the light went off. I'm hoping it was justa blip but the suspicious in me is wondering if there is a fault with the battery or charging system. A multimeter indicates 12.50v when off and 14.50v when running which seems normal to me bearing in...

A friend has a Mondeo diesel 2.00 and recently asked me for a second opinion on the clutch. The car is on a 04 plate and has hit 100,000 miles. I have never felt such a horrible clutch in my life. It just doesn't feel right at all. Friend put it in a quick clutch clinic who said that the clutch was perfectly normal for a Mondeo. ( I drive a Peugeot) I can't quite explain it. The clutch has...

Hello, All other things being equal, which car (engine, I suppose really) has the best chance of lasting longer - 2006 Mk2 Octavia 2.0 TDI PD with 55,000 miles; or a 2005 525d with 106,000 miles? Car will be used on a 50 mile/day motorway commute. Would these mileages be considered quite run-of-the-mill now for a modern engine, with plenty of life left, or would they be approaching their last...

Hi, I have a 2010 Mondeo. I was using google to look for ford forums/fora and found some posts saying that the 2 L diesel that I have has a 600W electric heater, so that when it is cold (like the last few days), it will heat the cabin without having to wait for the engine to warm up. I don't think this is documented anywhere. I would have thought the salesmen could use this as a sales...

Apologies chap if I'm asking this in the wrong place, I normally post here for my mk4 golf. Basically I have a 2000 sharan and 2 keys. One key works fine but the other had a new battery in but it won't open close or start the car. I'm guessing the key is now dead and I need a new one. I called VW who quote me £240!!! for one key I said no thanks lol. Any advice welcomed on what to do.

My mother wants to downsize from her Peugeot 307 auto. Ideally the the next one would also have a torque converter but the problem is that when a car is described as "automatic" it is not always obvious what is fitted - ie, torque converter, CVT, automated manual... Automated manuals don't seem well regarded for smoothness, as in Toyota MMT or Honda i-shift (and she won't want to learn a...

Morning all, I have a weird problem that just started last night. Basically I turned the car on, turned the lights on and there was a audible chirp kind of like a cheap toy with a dying battery is best I can describe it. It was a beep no lights are on the dash and the car is running as normal. It sounds like it came from the dashboard. I cannot find out in the manual anywhere despite going...

Hi all, The wife bumped her Skoda Octavia recently, and we had to get it repaired by the insurance company (it caused quite a lot of damage the plastic elements etc). The accident involved her hitting something head on (yes, I know......). The bumper, frame underneath, bonnet, grill and both light clusters where replaced, but the light clusters seem out of line to how I remember them. I've not...

My focus (1.8 petrol 2004) has started making groaning noise as I pull away from cold. After its hot the noise is gone. It sounds as though it is coming from the drivers wheel area I could be wrong or it could be vibrating possibly form somewhere else masking its true location. How do I determine what this sound is or where it is coming from. Its definitely a groaning noise not a a squeak...
