Hi,

Got my ST TDCI a few months a go now, I run my own business and cut a deal with the guy for his ST. It is in excellent condition, FULL service history all done at Ford on time, Paint inspections done and stamped etc etc, now stands me £1700 as I had to change discs, pads and a hub. The mileage is now 152k.

I had a light come on the dash the other day and when plugging it in it came back as P1211 (Injectors), Great!!
My first idea was to change the diesel filter which I done today, luckily it is now running spot on and the light is off.

This got me thinking, what extra precautions should I be doing with the mileage being so high.
The Clutch/DMF was done about 45k, both rear hubs have been done, EGR is blanked. It will be getting serviced soon as it is near the 12k service mark. What else do you recommend? Is it worth using an engine/injector cleaner once in a while, servicing little earlier (10k) and so on?

Thanks

I thought mine had gone, due to the power cutting out when you gave it some stick, glow plug light was flashing and the code P1211 came up which is usually injectors. I read somewhere that it is commonly the diesel filter and luckily it was.
I would definitely try changing that before injectors.
I found a few good used sets of injectors for about £300 and fitting+coding was going to be about £150.

I will run an additive through more often and like you said maybe service every 10-11k

I am not sure to be honest. I got a quote for 150 for fitting and coding but that was of a friend of a friend so maybe a little cheaper than normal?
