Problems started with a frosty cab, I use a small 240V fan heater to defrost and warm up for a few minutes, it sits on middle seat facing forward, dash does not get unduly hot from airflow. Unusually the alarm went off, unlocked and relocked the van and went off for half an hour, during which the alarm went off again and was unlocked / relocked. Four hours later went out in the van the Powertrain light came on. After two stop / starts it went out, drove 2x30 mile journeys no warning lights. Next day Powertrain light came on after 5 mins with loss of power, the next day both Powertrain and Engine management lights came on so it was taken for diagnosis. Local garage got Fault code P00BD M.A.S Air Flow High so ordered a non Ford sensor and fitted it. Fault code still came up, so they ordered a Ford one, fitted and reset code. No change, literally drove from garage today for 5 mins and Powertrain light came on, followed by Engine management, and,loss of power at 50mph. Vehicle has been serviced annually by local garage, now done 26000 miles. Local garage thinks it needs to go to a Ford dealer for a software update. Any suggestions / solutions from experienced owner / maintainers would be welcome.
Needless to say I'm disappointed, bought this new hoping to get a few trouble free years before it started being faulty.
