I've had my 405 from 7 months old and it has been a great car and still in daily use. No complaints here on French engineering.
My Cmax has a Ford-pug engine in it so plenty of French influence there too.

All I need is the answer to my question about the flash codes to see what it is trying to tell me. My local Ford Agent does not know but there are a bunch of brain donors.

A while back the auto headlights were playing up and they got a new sensor under warranty and then asked ME where the sensor was located so they could fit it!!
