Hi there. 2006 Mondeo 2L TDCI ZETEC I have seen this a few times, was going to change the track rod ends to see if this would help as I have noticed they are in need of replacing, but I see no movement from them at all that would make this noise.. If I jack the front end up no noise If I have...

Searched various forums for some answers on this but not been lucky enough to find an answer. About 3 months ago a quiet knocking started to occur when driving, not massively noticeable and would be easily drowned out by low volume radio. It was coming from drivers side and sounded as though it...

Hi folks. New to the forum. We started to notice a rattle in the front suspension of my wife's 2007 Fiesta Zetec. I opened the hood and gave the car a jiggle. The centre top nut which holds the spring in place seems loose and moves up and down as the car does but it's not bottomed out in the...

My Mk3 has recently developed an odd issue - when moving off or coming to a stop I can hear a knocking/thumping/popping from the rear left corner. It sounds as though something keeps binding and then letting go. My first thought was the brakes sticking, but I've had the brakes apart and checked...

Hi, My banana engine recently had timing changed, it had the engine locked on all the correct holes, even the big hole on the fly wheel. After around a week the engine lost all power driving up hill to the point where i was high revving in 2nd gear and pumping out black smoke. At the same time...

It's a Mk3 estate done 212K and it knocks constantly at the rear. Vague and skips slightly sideways when cornering and hit a dip or sunken manhole cover/drain. From what I've read it sounds like the mounting bushes. Some sellers state same bushes for all Mk3s others state different for the...

I have mk1 99 v reg Ford Focus 2.0 Ghia hatchback with the zetec-e engine. I have owned the car since 2003 so know its history. It has been a great car and have managed to rack up 190,000 miles on it. However, recently the piston rings need replacing as it was smoking when cold. A friend who...

I have recently installed a set of H&R 35mm Progressive Lowering Springs on my MK3 Focus and my front suspension has developed a knocking or 'clunking' noise, mainly coming from the driver side strut. Has anybody else had this problem and could anyone help with solving it?

Hi all, Car: 2.0 TDCi 130 2007, ~120,000 miles My clutch and DMF @ ~110,000 miles EGR & manifold cleaned out last week. My car has had a lumpy idle for a while now (maybe 3-4 months), but other than that it's been absolutely fine. People told me from similar experiences that the injectors...

I hope any experts here can pinpoint the likely cause (and solution) of a mechanical issue I have been noticing near the front wheels while in motion. Whenever my Mondeo MK3 (2003, 1.8L, saloon) rolls on the slightest bumps I tend to hear a "knocking" sound. I am using "knocking" as a...
