Hello all, just wondering if anyone else has a issue with their tailgate, where the boot unlocks and comes loose whilst driving, I have sent to car into Ford to investigate but they found no issue and still it persists, I’ve now started locking the doors while driving so it’s not a big issue, the door won’t completely open when it happens so there’s no safety issue to other road users ..read more

Hello. I've just bought an Ecosport, a 2017 Titanium Winter Pack (petrol) for my wife. It’s the first Ecosport for us but far from the first Ford, which was a Cortina Mk1 Estate, which I still own. I’ve also owned or looked after for family members, countless other Fords over the years including all marks of Cortina’s, Capri’s, Sierra’s, Mondeo’s & a few Fiesta’s. I’ve also chopped up quite a few Mk1 and Mk2 Escort’s to build kit cars. Funny thing is that these kit cars are now being bought... New to Ecosport ..read more

Hi Bought a 2023 Reg Ecosport ST 1.0 Its now 1 year old with 4,100 on the clock - service manual states nothing due until 2 years. Am I being too cautious in getting an oil change done after just 1 year and 4,100 miles ? Ive seen that I should be filling with Ford-Castrol Magnatec WSS-M2C948-B Q.1 - should I be buying the stop/start version of the oil? which seems to be £60+ for 5 litres Q.2 - which oil filter do I need (if any)? Q.3 - any recommendations for a mechanic in... Re-Assurance please - Correct Oil ..read more

I've just joined this forum having yesterday bought my first Ecosport, a 2017 Titanium Winter Pack 3 cyl Petrol. I've owned many fords before & so I know some do & some do not come equipped with engine compartment undertrays. My question is, was an undertray originally fitted to my Ecosport ? I've already searched 'undertray' and 'under tray' within this forum with no related results. I've also had a search on the internet & can only reliably find info linking undertrays to diesels models... Petrol Engine Compartment Undertray - missing or never fitted ..read more

Our 2014 Ford Ecosport battery died at the weekend. After jump starting successfully the Ford Sync centre console screen is now blank, even when the power is on and the engine is running. The reverse sensors are no longer active, and the fans & air conditioner will not switch on. I have tried using the various combination of holding the radio / phone, seek, and power on buttons to reset, as described online, to no avail. Has anyone found a fix for this, or do I need to take it into a Ford... 2014 Ecosport Sync screen blank ..read more

Bought a 2016 smoke grey Titanium in February 45000 miles, not the car I was looking for but this one was clean and tidy so I jumped on it without too much research. I did know it was a Cat N (previously stolen, I did a full check there) but was not aware of the engine issues which had me worried for a while. Now it's April I feel much better (although the constant rain and potholes are annoying ) I've given it a full service with the correct oil, replaced some bulbs, installed a...

Some car owners have complained that car insurance has went way up this year by 20% or more, due to the increase payout that car insurers have had to do as cars are far more expensive, especially electric cars. Many cars are just being written-off rather than being repaired. Also 'cost of living' has added to costs, regarding labour and material costs in the car repair industry. Personally..... Just got my quote in this week for this years payment and nearly fell down, it was up 20%... Big hike in car insurance this year ..read more
