She has had it checked out by Ford and they have said they found lots and lots of error codes stored and that it looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing has been messing trying to sort with the ECU.

They cleared all codes and took it out on the road where the problem has occurred several times. The only code showing after the drive was one for the throttle pedal.

Would you recommend a new pedal over a guaranteed working used pedal??? Have read these are quite a common failure item across the diesel Fords?

The other things they found were:-
Concern Customer states engine cuts out on bypass
Cause Requires throttle pedal
Correction IDS checks


Recommended Maintenance:
Operation Description
Air Con Check Air Conditioning System Check
Brake fluid Brake fluid system change

p/s/r coil spring corroded
p/s/r/ trailing arm bush perished
brake pipes corroded
exhaust centre section corroded
oil leak from engine
possible fuel leak
thermostat housing leaking
lf tyre 4mm - lr tyre 2mm - rf tyre 5mm - rr tyre 2.5mm

I have advised her brake pipes and throttle pedal are highest priority, closely followed by the 2mm tyre.

Considering this was recently serviced you would have thought they might have noticed the corroded brake pipes and tyre on legal limit?
