    It's an odd code for a Ford - non Ford it's probably ABS related - '' left front solenoid ''

    A proper Ford Diagnostic could tell you more

    Digging about I found a bit of info.

    Is your car an automatic?

    P0700 for Ford shows as Transmission Control Module.

    Basically it thinks there is an error in the transmission and throws a code.

    If you read it as P0700 instead then-

    Generic: Transmission Control System (MIL Request)

    I've seen this on other Ford Forums - the OBD reader sees it as a C 0700 code . . . ?

    That's not to say Clive's input is incorrect

    The fact that the OP refers to a ABS '' clonk '' could be telling as this C 0700 code refers to an ABS solenoid issue ?

    Any ideas where the solenoid is and how to test? Working on ABS is new to me! Cheers
