Hello and greetings.

I currently have a ford focus 1.8 tdci with 189,000 miles and have had it for 4 years.

It's by far and away the worst car I have ever owned (and Ive had a few! Mainly VW's and a renault and Citroen). Engine has been Okay however it's not keen on starting on a cold morning. The problems Ive had is the never ending issues with clunks and clonks, every six months its knocking again.

Fords previously owned;

I once owned a cortina 2l Ghia (great car)

and a fffffff-fiesta (horrible tin can car, great on fuel)

So thats my intro. I hope you guys have better luck with your fords! This is my 3rd and last Ford.
