  1. I understand but the difference on the conversion factor is quite alarming considering the parts all come from Germany. Australia Ford gets thier focus and fiesta's from the same place as we do. Only the American market is different. Lets say germany makes a platic trim for about 30p. They put it in a mould, make it, pack it and send it to either the UK or OZ. (Same Thing) We unpack it and Sell it for 20 million and OZ unpacks it and say's "its only a bit of plastic trim, it's probably only worth 10.00dollars, lets sell it at 30.00. Why does the UK need to do it. These are the people who sell
  2. Yes Rocky, i have emailed the Ford Dealer in OZ and am awaiting a reply. Why Matt-h? Not sure what you mean.
  3. This is what i asked UK ford for the other day as i saw it in the brochere and liked the idea as an extra... I even cheaked the price difference with say... Australia and the results were alarming! http://www.ford.com.au/servlet/ContentS ... DFYArticle $70.00 in Australia works out on currency converters at about 31.51GBP. What the hell is wrong with Ford in this country, everything is really stupidly priced. They wanted and i quote from tezza... "The sun blinds that fit into the rear door panels are.. LH 1420227 @ £156.12 inc vat RH 1420225 @ £156.12 inc vat" Thats £312.24 agai
  4. Yeah but that takes time and you have to have a goos software. Remember, also, not everything translates. Its not worth it.
  5. cheak the cam shaft and belt, not very good for a newishcar though mate.
  6. Hi all, I have another Speedo unit. I understand that the immobalizer is in here. How can i get it reprogrammed to work with my titanium. Everything works, but the car will not tick over and the unit is showing the wrong milage etc. Any help would be as usual (Grately Recieved).
  7. Sorry to hear that J. May you're focus rest in peace and thee hath many happy yeCars to come. I dearly declare you and you're Seat. Driver and Car. Congratulations!
  8. Hey, i would love a haynes manual for my mk2 but id rather a full TIS manual or even both. The only thing is i don't understand German so 'ill have to wait. If you can read it, GO for it!
  9. Yes the black ford on a black focus looks the dogs. A few years ago, there was a guy who made some gell ones that you just stick over the top. Some of the designs were really cool. I actually got some for my first focus that said focus instead of ford. they were blue with joined up letters. They were actually quite nice and it would be great if i could get em again.
  10. Yes Sorry Garry, i meant piper exhaust. Mikey i have just taken the face of the ST dials off and put it on my standard Speedo unit. It took a while and am currently building a how to on this with the pictures i took. Sorry for the confusion mate. However you are right about the immobilizer system.
  11. thanx, gonna go on european parts, they seem a safe bet. but still need the TIS manual if i can get one.
  12. NOT FORGETTING - I need to see PiperX about fitting a look alike exhaust system too.
  13. CURRENT CAR STATUS: Still in the form of a Titanium 1.8 5Dr Hatch Aquarius Blue. Standard half leather trim. St bumpers and relevent Fog/grille parts are painted and ready to fit. ST Indicator mirrors are ready to fit. POD GUAGES AND ST SPEEDO IN and working ST Gear knob and gaiter ready to go in. Badges ready to go on showing ST TDCI. STD looks a little like a disease! Wireing and modification to Twin Reverse And Fogs complete but not on. FFOC sticker ready to go in window. All to get is 5DR Side Skirts? Hard to get ST Side badges above wheel arch ST Alloys at the right price. Some nic
  14. Its got to be 4 years old now and there is still no Ford Tis manual covering the mk2 focus. I would like to get hold of one if there is for a few reasons. I like to fix things myself. I like to know the prices and finnis codes when doing jobs. It contains great how too's and the wireing diagrams are just outstandingly clear. Another reason is that it contains a few things Ford likes to keep to itself so that they can get you're cash and most of all The Tis manuals usually contain alll specifications and not just say, Zetec or Ghia, but all in the range. LX to ST, Hatch to Estate etc. Pleas
  15. Thankyou for you're reply but i was hoping to see ST side skirts. I will keep it in mind.
  16. New or used but not destroyed if you know what i mean. Anyone seen any - please let me know - Cheers Dave.
  17. Thanks for the reply, but what are the chances that ebay have messed up with no. 1. I have said i will pickem up with cash and waiting for a reply, surely i can't be robbed here. If he is not willing to let me have the wheels then thats the end of it... the cheaque was cancelled last night just in case so he only has one option.
  18. 1. I have just won some ST wheels wow - No two days later after sending the cheaque - ebay has cancelled the auction owing to the seller being fruadulent or his user name is misused. It was only up the road from where i work aswell - no traveling. 2. Couple of weeks ago, i asked Tezza about some bits, no replies, i know he's probably busy and i am trying to do it all yestarday. I have tryed again today and i hope he has a look. 3. ST Ricaro's on ebay starting at 500.00, but can't get to oldham even if i had the chance of winning. I bet if i started to bid it would just go above my limit.
  19. Are the bi-xenon headlights that are specified in the brochere as a option, easy to swap over with standard stock headlights? Is there any different wireing that i have to worry about? any advice, help and or support is most welcomed.
  20. Thanks sno, but are they on the original bumpers too. or just the ST bumper. Cheers mate.
  21. It was on the ST bumper???? has anyone removed the Front bumper and found these clipped on? Thats what is should have wrote.
  22. I had it sorta runnin when it was attached to my accelerator pedal in the zetec, it would go up with the acceleration witch looked cool, but i blew a few too many fuses and gave up however, on the diesel i do want it to look like it works and come on with the lights but i am just too unsure about where to connect things up without blowing anymore fuses.
  23. Does anyone think it can be done? Surely the st turbo and the diesel turbo are roughly the same. Can anyone help?
  24. After all the screws are removed, give a little tug and it will come free.
  25. Are you sure the five door sudan and the 5 door hatch don't have the same doors and windows. 5 door hatch has the same doors as the estate but they look different cos of the rear ends. Look closer and they might just be the same.
