I’ve done just that , put an 18mm belt on to replace the 16mm belt as Ford told me the 16mm was the wrong one fitted at the factory & should be an 18mm according to their parts catalogue so upgraded it to its default size . That 16mm is for fiestas or some focuses, not for C-Max according to Ford  i can only guess the 16mm was fitted due to the 18mm being out if supply so the factory just went ahead with the 16 to keep production demand going ?  And yes I did replace the oil pump belt , that only comes in one size fits all so no issues there . i would have been happy to replace the 16 with a 16 but as it’s such a mamouth task to go through with , the 18 was a no brainier for longer lasting & at least I can sleep better knowing I’ve got the proper size belt installed .

Thanks for your reply Danny. I have not owned a ford for 20 years and have always driven a Volkswagon Golf up to now  so this is new territory for me , but in the past i have always thought a clutch engaging at the top of its pedal travel  to been a sign its on its way out, but maybe a different manufacture engineers the set up/ operation differently. Thanks again

Hi everyone can anyone tell me if they have managed to replace the dipped headlight levelling motors only on a 2012 Kuga, rather than changing the complete linkage assembly on each headlight as these cost the best part of £300.  

No, I was looking at her pulling out of the goods loop. Maybe 600 tons all up weight? Boiler at max pressure by the look of the steam plume, and I did not see any wheelslip. It is good to see a few steam loco's still running on the mainline, which is where those big, powerful 4-6-2s belong, of course. The Flying Scotsman always looked a bit out of place on the Swanage Railway! Which was then only Norden to Swanage.
