Thread: New owner with a few questions
Post: RE: New owner with a few questions
Get used to bits falling off it (no offence). The only good thing about mine is the 1.6hdi engine, and that's probably because Ford had an influence. |

Thread: Oil & filter change
Post: RE: Oil & filter change
I let mine drain overnight from a warm engine. I always wonder if there's a puddle left in the sump though. The cheap oil is a good idea, or are we being a bit fanatical lol |

Thread: Temperature Display
Post: RE: Temperature Display
