ST 2.2 TDCI Mondeo
Hi,I am reading posts with interest. My car is a 2007 model with 66000 on the clock. It is Bluefinned and goes very well. It is doing 34.4 mpg around town at the present time. It averaged 43.3 mpg on a run from Portsmouth to Edinburgh last year travelling at around 85mph. I wll check the EGR valve as this could account for obviously low MPG. Changing the subject, I was followed by a friend last week who called me to tell me that my brake lights were on all the time he was following me. I checked this out next day. The brake lights were working properly with no other lights on, but came on all the time when other lights were on. The front spotlights were also coming on when the brake pedal was used. The traction control light was also coming on when road conditions were OK. I took the car to an Auto Electrician and told him of my findings. 20 minutes later the problem was sorted. A wrong rear bulb had been fitted by the previous owner and one of the plugs in one rear light was not correctly fitted. Result or what!!!
