Slacker900.....it going in on the 18th March BUT I'm going back tomorrow to see if they can sort it. Thanks for your replies Colin

Sorry Pete its the key fob battery. Thats odd then because they told me at Allen Fords it would need reprogammeing Colin

Went to the car this morning pressed the remote to unlock the car nothing happened. So, went & got a new battery, asked if it all needs to be reprogrammed. Yes they said. So I got the book out turned the key to position 2 four times....waited for the beep...pressed a button on the key fob....beep came to say that its worked. No such look still doesn't work. Now if when I press a button & the beep comes does that mean transmitters ok in the key fob & the reciever's up the creek. If it does is that a warranty job as the warranty runs out next month.

Mines a 5 door.

I managed to clear mine using the reset button on the end of the stalk. {I think }

My 2006 Zetec Climates got the warning.

Mines a 06 & its just coming up tp 15,555. I've had the car for just a year now & done about 10,000mls. After 31 tank fill's, 1,277 litres & £1,216 on fuel I'm still loving it. :wink:

I would get it sorted ASAP. If its on all the time all it needs is it to cry wolf once & boom expensive

06 Tango Red Zetec Climate 1.6 Ti-VCT 115, 5 door

Tango red

Since I've had the car I haven't been on any real long runs to stretch its legs so not sure what I get if i did. Going to fill up tomorrow with super uleaded again because we have a coupon to get 5p of a litre at Sainsburys. When I got the car it had only done 5614mls that was in January now its done 10,300ish.

Just had the low fuel light come on tonight. Trip 406.5 mls, MPG 37.7, AVE speed 23mph, 40mls left in tank. Thats using Sainsburys super unleaded, I dont think I will use that all the time because of the price. Most of the mileage was just doing a round trip to work of 18mls only had 2 longish runs of about 70mls each. I have a Mk2 Zetec Climate 1.6. 115.

I've got the 115 & the Ulitmate or Sainsburys 100 oct didn't do any better for me either. The long run down to Cornwall might have shown some better mpg but had to be canceled due to ill health. So it just pottering about & to work.

95 OCT from Sainsburys. Did try BP Ulitmate once but got a worse mpg so never tried it since.

Bought a set off ebay for £27.02 + p&p {£34.52 total}, so still a saving from FORD.

Tango Red bootiful colour.

Thank you Yorkie79 I thought I had a senior moment again. :roll:

Mark thanks for that you have told me something I haven't read its this "The European Good Samaritan Law requires every driver to stop and provide assistance in the event of an accident". I'm sorry if I do stop they might need too get 2 Ambulances because I cant stand blood that's not mine. Oh well looks like the Wife will get sent to help. Colin

Thanks yorkie79 for your help & advice. I will check the headlights sometime before we go. I have already got the bulbs, Hi vis, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, cuddly toy BUT I never thought of fuses...doh. Thank for the warning about the Belgium Police I will keep my speed down.

In about a month or 2 we are off to France & Belgium. I know that the headlights have to be altered so they dont dazzle, up until today I thought you put on sticky things YET on reading the MK2 manual it says I think AFS headlights have a lever at the back of the headlight unit. 1st: have I got AFS headlights on a Zetec Climate. 2nd: Anybody been abroad with the MK2& used that lever or the sticky things.

I found out just by chance that when you unlock the car with the remote key BUT never open the doors or the boot it locks itself after I would guess about 45sec. Mines a Zetec Climate too.

When I go in a carpark I drive round to find a space I THINK I can get in & reverseing into a space its murder because I tend to turn the wrong way because when I'm in the truck I turn the other way because of the trailer. Ceri welcome to the MK2 club, nice car & colour take care & thanks. Colin

Thanks for your replies, I will see if I can borrow a Sat Nav & try it. A big sorry to petersud for high-jacking his topic.

I've been told by my local Halfords & Wilko car spares that if your car as a heated front screen I have a Focus Mk2 Zetec Climate a savnav will not work due to the heated creen. At Halfords they said a external arial would sort it. So I decided that I would carry on using MAPNAV instead

I don't think I have seen one of them?. If i cannot be bothered to wash my Mk2, I tend when passing to drive into one of those manual car washes in Leeds where a little team of 5 or 6 people wash it and leather it down manually for about £6.00. Pete On of them opened near where I work. Only difference was that the car was washed by topless hot ladies! http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2006160400,00.html :lol: Now thats an idea I'm in the Hinkley/Nuneaton area most days in the truck towing a 16' high trailer I'd pay £25 to watch them do that. :lol: I think the boss would be ple
