Hello there thanks for accepting me to the forum.

I am a retired mechanical engineer living in Greater Manchester. 
I own a 2013 Focus eco-boost diesel 1.6.

Great car for me. Economical, low road tax, enough room for me and the missus (including her wheelchair).

I hope the forum will be able to help me look after my car (and answer any questions I have) to keep it in tip top condition.

Cheers

Lynton

    Hello Lynton welcome to the Ford Owners Club 🎉

    Just for your information:

    All EcoBoost engines are petrol

    All EcoBlue engines are diesel

    So I'm going to guess that you actually have a 1.6 EcoBlue, either that or your filling up with the wrong fuel 🤣

    Fiesta Mk6.5 2008 1.25 petrol  -  Almost BOMB proof !!  (guarantee not given in NI)

    "cheaper" insurance (note will still cost an arm and a leg).

    Regards,

    Dan.
