Dammit I missed you killing the C4. I was hoping for the wheel and wheels.
Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.

I didn't kill it,I sold it before it went french. Had a recurring issue with cold start and rough running. You obviously missed the avensis problem too.

Yes. It had a new set of clocks in 2011 though at 34k so still rather low mileage for ita age being around 45k now

Re: New car purchased. Fords finest.
Car has decided to come out in sympathy of my previous French car electric issues.
I don't have any engine management light on but I do have a p0460 code and the trip computer works bar how many miles in tank. P0460 relates to fuel sender issues so I'm guessing in tank sender/pump. I'm going to keep driving it until it decides it needs a part but if anyone has ideas or seen similar please let me know.- Warren t claim

Re: New car purchased. Fords finest.
It does yes,it's not a big issue as the car works fine and the gauge reads fuel. The issue would be if the gauge is reading wrong. It has a fuel light that doesn't illuminate even though there's an led there and I've done the led test to make sure it comes on. My escort van had an issue withe the gauge where if it was full it would read empty until covered about 100 mile then start reading until it got to quarter tank and ran out of diesel ( hooli may remember that.....)
