Hi Lloyd

I'm curious - you say second generation common rail, but the HDi is the 
first common rail engine Pug/Cit have used. And what exactly have Ford 
got to be unimpressed with? Excellent economy, reliability, emissions 
and power...... must be missing something here. My turbo has only blown 
because of overspinning after an intercooler hose split. This could 
happen to any TD engine. I've asked a lot of people-who-should-know 
about my error codes and they all look at me blankly and say "HDi's 
never go wrong".

All the best

Martin
