this maybe one of the last posts I am allowed to make.......a big thank you to ALL for ALL the info which has been shared over the years on this site. I'll miss being able to post but I'm too tight to pay for that privelidge :oops: Wishing you all a happy new year and good luck with the forums future :wink: This is maxc signing out.....................................

Oooh get you........not getting pissy are we :?:

Owners out of pocket?.......are you having a laugh? What are the running costs exactly? 25000 times how much?????? I run a website and a forum for a football team and believe me, the costs are NOT that great!!!!!

I'm lucky to get 32mpg out of my 1.6tdci :evil:

I just got 2 Michelin Primacy HP's 205-55-17's fitted for £125 :lol: Right place, right time....well chuffed :wink:

.....p.s. Nice link Andy :wink:

Yes guys I'm working it out myself, the trip computer says its doing even less!!! My driving is a mix of town (30%) and open road (70%) so I'd expect a lot more. Whats a maf sensor and how do I get my dealer to change it, got to be quick as my 3 year warranty runs out later this year :( Thanks for your help :wink:

:shock: :shock: :shock: 60+ to the gallon :shock: :shock: :shock: What level software are you on :?: I'm still VERY lucky to get near 40 out of my 1.6 tdci :cry: Its the one thing that I am dis-pleased about, no matter how gentle I drive it I just can't get a decent mpg :evil:

Brilliant, thank you Andy :wink: So simple :oops: .........(when you know) lol Thanks again 8)

Can any of you solve this mystery.......... Whilst folding down the seats yesterday on my 54 plate 1.6tdci ghia cmax I noticed a strange bungee type elastic with a plastic hook on the end which is tucked away quite neatly inside the bottom of the seat back????? It only stretches about 8" when pulled. i just can't for the life of me think what it would be for....over to you guys.....any ideas????? :?

Why would the so called 'low life scum' need to see a photo of a car on a website to clone it :?: Surely if someone wanted to clone a car their is easier ways to find one........

Nice one CharlieR, thats brilliant mate. Reg plate and lights visible too :wink: Thanks again 8)

nice one CharlieR, that is a wierd looking contraption :shock: got any pics of it in use on the c-max? (excuse my cheek) :oops:

Thanks Rob, I'll try that :wink:

Do any of you guys know if you can get a rear mounted bike rack for a 54 plate c-max if so where?

I have just been told my rear pads need changing on my 2nd year service and we've only done 13000 miles. The fronts must still be ok though and we've never had any judder How do you contact Ford directly? (out of interest)

Cheers RTV, had the service done + the brake fluid changed. I had to pay extra for the brake fluid change, because it in only 'recommended' and not actually part of the service schedule.......is this correct or has my dealer taken me for a ride ? anyway, its got to go back in next week for replacement rear brake pads :roll:

My 54 plate 1.6tdci ghia cmax is in for its 2nd service next week, is there anything I should be asking the dealer to do / check out :?: Any forward knowledge is greatfully received :wink:

Bye :multi:

What are you getting ? On our 3 week old car (on its second tank) we are getting 45-50 mpg with a variety of a-roads and town driving... Matt 30ish tops :( whats your average speed on the computer :?:

Cleaning the ghia wheels...... :cry: Fuel economy (1.6tdci) :evil:

But I was first :twisted: lol lol

I asked first :lol: lol

How much :?:

Thank you for your reply :wink: Is there any way I can find out what level of software I am currently on and what the latest level is :?: because I agree 37 mpg is awful
