I know this has been covered before but I am now at a loss with this (as are Ford!) Basically I have a 2013 Titanium X and it has xenon headlights. I cannot find a satisfactory way to convert the headlights to drive on the right. I have been advised by Ford to "use a mask" but they cannot supply a mask, the "beambenders" type dont work (dont correct the beam correctly). I have looked inside the headlight and the lever for converting is not there (I am fully aware of the lever from my last car) looks like ford decided to save 50p on the assembly! I have again pressed the service guys at Ford to find out from technical what exactly I should do, eventually they have come back saying I need to connect to IDS to change something? I know that some Seat cars are done like this (Im even told some do this automatically when the GPS realized the car is out of UK) Has anyone else experienced this? Any definite answers from Ford? Cheers!

Thanks for that. So mine was registered june 2013, yet for the powershift 163 V5 shows 159g/km. From the Parkers site it says this. from 1 April 2013 Registration Date 6 months 12 months First Year Rate VED Band CO2 15 Mar 2010 - 25 Nov 2013

I managed to get 44MPG with my 2.0 163 powershift, but that was driving at 50MPH thru the roadworks on M1 between J28/32 (very very tedious!) But we should be getting nearer 55MPG at those speeds, as you say their figures are pure fiction!

Are you 100% that you paid

The powershift and manuals are 149 and 139 respectively,

Ive just got a 13 2.0 TDCI 163 Powershift. Brochure states 149g/Km but V5 and DVLA say 159g/Km After lengthy discussions with Ford customer services, they are saying its a typo on the brochure. Im not so sure, checking the DVLA site is says that they are all 159 after 2010 (assume thats the Powershift). Everywhere I look (Ford/cars advertised on autotrader etc) all show this car as 149g/km, im convinced that the girl I spoke to at Ford had no clue what I was going on about and just said this to get rid of me! She even suggested I speak to the supplying dealer. Even the invoice for the car states that 6 months tax is

Let me know if you get anything on this, im interested too!

You have checked the pollen filter is not blocked? I had the same and the pollen filter was totally blocked, was twice the weight of a new one! Have you used a cleaner through it (de bug)? Could be the evaporator is dirty with mould??

Had this and it was the strut itself.
