Hi all I am now to your all here and I am also new to the world of the B-max. With any luck this Thursday I will under go the train journey from Wakefield to just outside Northampton to take possesion of my New B-Max it's a 2013 / 62 plate eco boost 120 Titanium. In moon silver. So I am after some advice from all you knowledgable member out there who have had your B-max's awhile and would be able to share some advice on what to look for when looking at it before paying for it.

Welcome to the group Philip, there are a lot of members with that engine, no one has reported any problems with it.

Just check that it has had the pipe modidication as early versions were prone to splirring, leaving the engine without oul.

Thanks for that Info, Any one know which Pipe needs to be swapped ?

Sorry, i think it is the coolant hose.

As usual,check for full service history. You can also check mot history here as long as you know the Reg.No.

Good luck. I am very happy with mine.

I believe it is called a degas hose.

well worth looking any potential second-hand-ford up on their etis system
not only should this show any outstanding recalls and the like, but should also give you the full 'spec' of the vehicle.
