Ford Need More Car Engines Built

The Ford engine factory at Bridgend in S. Wales is working flat out at peak capacity to supply Ford with their new 1.6litre Ecoboost unit.
This new engine is the power unit to drive the next generation of the new Ford Focus range and their super-mini Fiesta model.
Such is the popularity and adaptability of this engine unit that it is also used to power the Ford Mondeo saloon and estate, the new C-Max, the S-Max and also the larger Galaxy MPV.

Vehicle Insurance Clampdown

Very important, there are now no grey areas with regard to insuring or not insuring a vehicle you own.
New government law now states that if you own a vehicle you either have to insure it or declare it a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice) in order to keep it without insurance.
If you are found to have an uninsured vehicle without a SORN to cover it you face a fine of £100.
This clampdown is aimed at reducing the number of uninsured drivers and vehicles on UK roads – about time too.

Shock, Shock,Shock, Car Insurance Increases By 47% p.a.

Where will it all end? The above headline is genuine, it refers to the increased cost of insuring drivers between 17 – 22 years of age as reported by a major motoring organization.
