I guess it's 7 years old but the jap cars I have owned never did this until over 10 years old and they were not allegedley galvanised either. I have also had the engine MIL light on 3 times recently, it is currently on again Each time I have taken it to a Ford dealer they say it is listing that many codes that they just flash the EROM or something to clear them Everytime the car is running fine. It's a great car to drive but I would never buy another. If I was looking again I would be getting an Octavia TDI or some other VAG diesel. But then again you can probably get bother with any car.

    This is the SXOC, it's got to be a diesel BMW or a Discovery

    Exactly, you think all VAG cars are perfect Rusty arches could just be its not been looked after and shit has built up in them. That will happen on any car

    Your dealer is obviously also shit, i would take it to a independant garage as most main dealers aint worth a toss
