they quoted me £500 for the clutch to supply and fit and if it needed the flywheel then the bill went up to around £900 my clutch was still operational i just took it in to get it checked out an examiner passed comment about it when my car was out on a test with a pupil, just hadnt got round to taking it in to be checked. didnt have any issues getting it done under warranty, service guy put it down a system for "prior approval" and it came back as accepted, i take it as the clutch facings were fine thats why they approved it. its been murder work wise having to move pupils about and so

My 2011 "11" reg Focus Titanium 1.6 Tdci 115 stop/start developed a grinding noise when moving off on s hill in first gear. Took it into ford and a mechanic took it for a drive and said it was either the clutch or the flywheel. Booked the car in for two days last monday and they took the gearbox out to find the clutch release bearing was danaged however the clutch facings were all fine. Ford agreed to replace the clutch under warranty (which im shocked at as my car is used for driving tuition) i was promised the car back on tuesday last week which was then delayed until friday and furth

not 100% sure whos supplying it! im insured with c & a mackie but not sure whos sending the car up

the problem is that the car hire place is in blackpool and they didnt have a driver available until thursday to being it up to glasgow. wont loose anything tho as i will claim loss of earnings. the garage are saying my car will be fixed in around 10-14 days time - third party insurance have already admitted liability.

I'm fine mate, just a little shaken. an 82 year old man failed to give way when he was crossing the path of on coming traffic aka me, he was driving an automatic renault secnic and he pressed the gas instead of the brake. the police are charging the guy for careless and dangerous driving and its likely that the dvla will revoke his licence due to his age. not getting a courtesy car until thursday tho which is a pain as im a driving instructor they need to get me a dual controlled courtesy car which is taking for ever to get! the joys!

ive got a mk3 focus titanium 1.6 tdci with stop/start if thats what you mean be econetic? the only thing ive noticed with mines is when pressing the clutch down there is about 2-3cm of travel with no resistance (ford say this is what triggers off the stop/start) as its already been said the brake on all cars sits slightly higher than the gas pedal and to be fair ive never noticed a problem with mines. sadly my car was involved in an accident on monday afternoon and its currently in the bodyshop pending repair estimates and so on so i cannot go out and have a look at the actual dimentio

ive got a 1.6 tdci mk3 which is used for driving tuition and im getting around 45 mpg from it. I did have a 1.6 125 petrol titanium and it was a pile of poo the diesel is a million times better

had my 1.6 125 bhp titanium from 6th september and ran it until 13th december covered 9265 miles in it and i had enough. car is lovely but the engine just wasnt up to the job, ford are apparently working on a ecu download for it due to the amount of complaints from customers about the sheer lack of power from the engine.

car i had before the 125 1.6 was a mk2.5 titanium 1.6 100 bhp and that engine was a million times better then the 1.6 125.

5dr and an estate lovely car to drive, avoid the 1.6 105 and 1.6 125 petrol versions as they are really sluggish

shouldnt take 4 weeks for delivery. we got our family lunar sky focus titanium delivered 10 days after it rolled off the production line.

roll on tuesday!!!

will give you a full rundown report on it when i get my new tuition car next week as my car tents to do about two years worth of mileage and work in 7 months :D

thats the same as the one that was in the showroom, lunar sky, 18" wheels, and apperance pack the colour is stunning :-)

if a bring it nae bother. honestly i wasnt totaly sold on it until i drove it, still say the mk1 is the best looking focus, the new looks have grown on me. some say its a fat fiesta which it is however its alot better then the fiesta its defo a massive step forward. yous can have a go in my work car when i get it if yous want, danny has already called shotgun on the first go!

i still say vision blue is the best colour :D will be sorry to see my vision one go even tho its given me so much trouble and the poor wee thing has been thru the wars between getting hit with golf balls, minis reversing into it, pothole damage resulting in two new alloys and endless tyres!!! just hope n pray new one isnt black, having said that the new decals on the new car totaly cover the sides so its not a massive problem if it is black!

its the replacement for the motherships horrible magenta fiesta! can see the reflection of the decals on the side of it! new driving school focus titanium will be here in a few days time!

its called lunar sky stevo - its a grey/brown colour

picked one up three weeks ago - 1.6 titanium 125 version in lunar sky. its lovley to drive, really smooth and quiet. build quality it top notch and the equipment in the car is outstanding. only negative i have is the engine feels underpowered and the car can feel sluggish then going up some hills where you have to work the gearbox alot to get it going.

the style is the replacement for lx trim and its lower down the range than the zetec range goes, studio, style, zetec, zetec s, titanium, st, rs

my 2010 zetec "10" reg has a anti slip mat in the glove box and it was standard with the car. my previous 2009 "09" and "59" zetecs didnt have it tho!

my mk2.5 titanium has one touch up and one touch down my car also had global opening and closing

must have something to do with when they were built then i guess

my mk2.5 titanium had them and both mk2.5 zetec (company cars) has them. titanium was a 08 reg, 1 zetec was a 09 reg and the other zetec is a 59 and all had them fitted :?

Inspektor, your car should already have the mouldings fitted mate, ford fitted them as standard on the mk2.5 cars from 08 reg onwards.
