Hi have just bought my 1st diesel fiesta 08 with only 19k on the clock.

I have read of a few problems with the injectors / seals. Does this happen in the minority or majority of cases and is there anything I can do to help prevent this from happening?

Be kind my 1st post by an excited new ford owner.

Thanks in Advance
