Hi all - I recently purchased a vLinker adapter to read DTCs on my vehicle using FORScan. I used the "Clear DTCs" button at the bottom (which I assume clears all stored codes). However after cycling the ignition on that day, the following codes immediately reappeared. I'm also a little confused by the Tire Pressure Sensor DTC, as this vehicle isn't equipped with TPMS. Before clearing the codes, the same 3 codes had an event timestamp of September 2025 and I've driven plenty since then. There are

Hi guys Coz I am a complete idiot, I got angry with the bird poo. I got most of it off with water and the sponge side but when the last bits wouldn't come away, I turned it over to the green side and removed it that way not really thinking about what I was doing... :( Can anyone recommend some cleaners, cloths and compounds that I can buy to remove? I think it's only in the clear coat coz when i run my wet finger over the marks they seem to vanish for a very short time. Please help if you can...

Hi guys I changed my fob battery after the message came up 'change fob battery' that was about a month ago but few days ago I couldn't open my car so had to press the button on my fob. My car is keyless entry one. When I got in car, it wouldn't start my car as another message came up saying 'key not detected ' It will work when I place my fob in the emergency compartment. My plan is to get another battery as the last one was a cheap one but then wouldn't the dash be telling me to change my ba

Hello, I'm new here and I wondered if someone could help me with some questions about a potential new car? I currently drive a very old 2009 focus, which has been very reliable, I've had it for five years. I'm now thinking it could be upgrade time. I have found a 2019 Ford focus ecoboost titanium petrol 1.5 engine for sale from a dealership. The dealership took it as a PX for a new car. The car has had one owner from new and a full service history, been very well looked after. It has around 55k

Good afternoon all, Just recently joined the forum (hello all), I have a small niggle and need to ask what could be the issue with my fuel overconsumption with my 2010 Ford Fiesta (1.4L Zetec Manual). Had very few issues with my car (thankfully) but after having a major service done at a Ford garage in late April 2026, when I go onto the range calculator after filling it up with with a full tank of petrol it has now started to drink fuel akin to more like a Ford Mustang/GT! Using Google Maps,

I will be changing my wife's 69 plate Fiesta titanium X for a Puma ST line X shortly, with the adaptive cruise option pack, but am a bit confused by the bluecruise functionality. In the configurator, it says 90 day trial then monthly sub of £17pm, or £200 py unless you opt for the one off £200 payment up front. Is that £200 just for the first year, or is it for the life of your ownership? Also, if you do not opt for the bluecruise subscription, what functionality would then be unavailable to yo

Eric Bloodaxe replied to Bernard Shakey's topic in Ford Puma ClubThey all seem to be at it. Just read a review of the second generation VW T-Roc. Apparently It comes with a months free trial of the factory satnav system, then if you want it they expect you to shell out over £1000 or take out a subscription. -
madman replied to madman's topic in Ford Focus ClubAnother update had my timing belt kit and water pump replaced charged me 300 quid for the job. The old belt still ok not really any signs of wear for it's age and the water pump was the original but was little rusty, had both replaced. He did say that there was a new aux belt on it which I put on and he said he used it again, but I said it's stretch belt one time use, he then said it was fine as he gets on and off a different way. But he did also replace the air con belt at no extra price . Looking at parts timing belt kit and water pump both drayco and air con belt Mitsubishi, for 300 quid seems good job for price. -

Focusinford replied to Andrew Gascoigne's topic in Ford Puma ClubHi there.. l had been to look at 6 pumas before settling on my puma st line 155 and three had some of the chrome missing from the gear knob.. l asked one dealer if he could replace the knob but on checking he found out that it was only available as a complete gearstick/ shift system so l passed .. l thought l had checked the one l finally ended up with but after 8 months of ownership l can feel a scratchy bit on the edge of the knob where possibly the chrome is coming away.. possibly a dot of superglue will sort it.🙂 -
Eric Bloodaxe replied to Peanut_77z's topic in Ford Focus ClubI've been happy with Autoglym and Meguiars over the years. Also used Zymol if you want to splash the cash!😀

Eric Bloodaxe replied to Casbantam's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI went for it taking into account positive comments from other members on here, and the high replacement cost of things like adaptive lights. I believe prices vary taking into account mileage at commencement, etc, but mine was £156 commencing April.
