The cruise control in my manual transmission 2015 focus 1.0 disengage every time I change gear. Is this normal or do I have a faulty clutch sensor or some other problem?

Hi guys Coz I am a complete idiot, I got angry with the bird poo. I got most of it off with water and the sponge side but when the last bits wouldn't come away, I turned it over to the green side and removed it that way not really thinking about what I was doing... :( Can anyone recommend some cleaners, cloths and compounds that I can buy to remove? I think it's only in the clear coat coz when i run my wet finger over the marks they seem to vanish for a very short time. Please help if you can...

Hi. My car is at Ford for it's convenience check. They have said that the battery is low and needs a trickle charge and then the BMS will need to reset. They will do this for £80. Does this seem fair? I am not even slightly technical but is this something I could do myself? Fiesta ST line 1.0L MHEV Cheers

I will be changing my wife's 69 plate Fiesta titanium X for a Puma ST line X shortly, with the adaptive cruise option pack, but am a bit confused by the bluecruise functionality. In the configurator, it says 90 day trial then monthly sub of £17pm, or £200 py unless you opt for the one off £200 payment up front. Is that £200 just for the first year, or is it for the life of your ownership? Also, if you do not opt for the bluecruise subscription, what functionality would then be unavailable to yo

Apologies for making a new topic for this but wasn't sure which existing thread to ask this! I've successfully retrofitted cruise control on my MK7 1.25L Fiesta (2015) and it really helpful. I read somewhere on here that the 1.25L doesn't have enough torque to engage it but I'm not sure how that is relevant. Usually, I get up to my desired speed and simply activate cruise control. I'm wondering, was CC an optional extra from factory on the less-powerful engines such as the 1.0L (non turbo) and 1

Morning everyone! Hope you’re all well. Only looking for some advice, I’ve got no one to ask about these things. Bought this car last week, 17 plate. Full service history, last MOT & Service done last month direct from ford. Just wanting to know if my engine sounds right? Just wanna reiterate I’m sorry if it’s a silly question. I have no one to ask and I’m not clued up on cars, any advice would be great, thanks in advance, link is attached.

Morning all, Just picked up my Puma St Line X 2025 model yesterday, fab car, great drive home. I do have one question, the B&O system - good sound, but I don’t seem to hear the punchy bass like I have in my Kuga St Line X. I tried using the bass slider and turning down treble and mid - I get nothing .. can someone confirm that this comes with a sub woofer, and does this have a setting in sync 4?

757-200 replied to landfall's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI retro fitted C/C back to a mk 4 Astra in the day and I certainly did not declare it to the insurance. As far as I was concerned it was there when I purchased the car. Thanks -
757-200 posted a topic in Ford C-Max ClubJust curious - what's the millage on your 1.6 tdci's ? Reason I ask is because yesterday I spoke with a tuning company regarding having the egr mapped from the engine and he asked what the millage was, I responded 122000 and his response was at that millage your injectors are nearly ***** mate Thanks

anon replied to Casbantam's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubThe garage is wrong. Completely. The charger will tell its own truth about the state of charge (often referred to here as SOC.) Don't worry about that. Do not reset the BMS. Charge the battery fully and expect it to take a couple of short runs to relearn what it needs to convince itself it is all right. We on here are very well versed in the idiosyncracies of Ford battery management, and most of us know more about this than Ford dealers as we see many similar cases every week. Your dealer will be doing a roaring trade in replacement batteries that will have had their lives shortened by unneccessary use of the BMS reset. When charging, do not connect your charger to the negative pole of the battery. instead follow the thick black cable from there and connect your charger's negative clip to the other end of it where it is bolted to the body. Your Ford dealer probably doesn't do this either but it has to be done this way as the BMS sensor is between the negative pole and earth. This is the widget that monitors current going in and out of the battery which is how it senses how fully charged it is. This is not a matter of opinion, this is the correct procedure. Follow it and all will be well. -
DAN@ADRIAN FLUX replied to landfall's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi. If you have any issues with insurance at all for the fitment of cruise control then please feel free to drop me a line. Regards, Dan. -
Casbantam replied to Casbantam's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubSorry, another daft question incoming. The garage said that the car battery was 48% charged and that the air-conditioning doesn't work as it will not run when the battery is below 60% When I charge the battery will the charger tell me the battery charge % or is this in the car settings somewhere? BTW the garage said that the BMS would definitely need to be reset after trickle charging. Thank you
