Ford Problems

Most small hatchbacks have similar width footwells, so I would suggest you try the most popular ones, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, Kia Rio etc. to find the one that’s best for you.

Ford cars are built at many plants around the world, but many of them are shared with Ford's other brands, Lincoln and Mercury. The most common places for Ford plants are the United States, Canada and Mexico.

If there are any common problems and complaints about Ford's reliability or faults, they'll likely show up on our Ford problems page. You can also calculate a car's projected resale value via our price and specs page.

Call back and ask what was done to ensure nothing else was affected. I would want them to tear the gearbox down, flush everything out, and check the internals before putting it back together and installing the new torque convertor.

Yes, it does

The GQ Patrol was a tough old bird, but it’s old and buying one now is a gamble. You could consider a Toyota Landcruiser, but again your budget will limit you to an older vehicle and that is always a risk. You could perhaps consider fitting power steering to the XF ute.

The latest information we have is that the Custom Sport is on offer in Australia. Go back to Ford. 

It’s not legal to use a 3500 kg rated tow vehicle to tow 4500 kg, and your insurance wouldn’t cover you in the event of a crash. Step up to the bigger vehicle, or maybe look at something like a RAM pickup.

I understand the 2010 Fiesta came with a space saver spare tyre. I'd be trying a wreckers to find a replacement, but make sure it actually fits your car. Plenty of space savers will look the same, but feature a different PCD (nut spacing), offset and overall diameter. 

Without more information, such as if you have access to the spare, it's hard to know if a dealer is your only option. You can read more about how to replace your car keys here.
