Ivor - Sorry to hear about your Mother, that's tough - I am sorry. Seems like you're a real Ford man judging by your photos and the cars you've had - Fair play and well done. The XT badges weren't thing but then that's what makes this site interesting. You've got a really nice Focus Ivor - Don't be put off by a few comments - As I've said there are some shockers on here. Take it easy - Mike :?

Ivor's happy with his motor, which is the main thing - I've seen some real shockers in the Forecourt section and this is nowhere near that - Individual taste guys. I am a bit biased though owning the same car (without badges though).

Mine must be an XT too! but it says Titanium on log book.

SORTED! - Spent about 10 minutes looking under rear bumper and noticed a rouge bit of tape hidden. That located the missing wire......plugged into multiplug and all working. Thanks - Mike

Thanks - The rest of the system seems to be working ok apart from the tail gate. There is a multi plug directly under the bumper but no wiring to be connected. As it's been working there must be some other fault. Looked through the forumn and can't locate other queries similar to mine. I presume the side wall in the boot is behind the carpet. Any other comments /suggestions welcome. Mike

Hi Chaps Had my 58 plate Mk2.5 Focus since October. Someone marked my rear bumper a couple of weeks ago, so had it repaired. My car has the key free system and parking sensors. Picked her up today and am really pleased with the bumper finish, but got back to work and noticed that although the key free system works it doesn't on the tail gate, ie doesn't appear to be sensing key and won't allow you to lock either. Took it back to repairer who said they weren't sure what it is. Took it to Ford who said that they'd have to hook up to pc, but needed to book in. I can't believe it's anything

Sat nav direction indicator guys.

Most times, either hot or cold really.

Anyone?

It's only got 3k on it - Sure it's fine, just wondered if anyone else with a diesel push button notices the same. Thanks - Mike

Hi Chaps My 2l TDCi has keyless start. This is all fine, but when I switch the car the engine stops and feels `lumpy'. It's probably fine but wondered whether anyone else has a diesel with push button start and whether theres is the same. Thanks - Mike

Cheers guys, that's helpful. Mike

Hi Chaps My 58 plate Titanium seems to use a lot of screen washer. It's the time of year when I'm probably using it alot and with the headlight washers as well, I suspect some goes there. However, today I noticed some drops under the car, under washer bottle. I didn't spill and wonder before I go to the hassle of booking in at Ford's, whether there is an overflow or similar OR whether others have noticed this. Comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks - Mike

Hi Dave I have the premium touch sat nav and bluetooth. I had issues on the last 2.5 Focus Titanium also and the fault was the wrong bluetooth module installed. Should work - Do not accept their excuses! Mike

Pm'd

1359007 Aluminium Effect Styled Gear Lever Knob (6-Speed) £30.00 Looking to see what one of these looks like for the 2.5 Focus - Anyone got one please that they could post a picture of? Cheers - Mike

Ivor - By the way, yes got USB connection. Also, are you front parking sensors factory fit?

Thanks Ivor. Thinking abut de-badging my car, ie taking off the Fous, TDCi and Titanium badges for a smoother look. Got the silver effect handbrake cover but not the pedals. Switch - Got the second one of the pictures you've posted. Colour - In the flesh it's really not that bad. Had an 06 reg ST Focus before in Performance Blue and thatwas the same. If you look at any MK 2/2.5 focus, all but black had colour mismatches. Mike

Hi Chaps I have a new Focus 2l TDCi. Ford used to offer a free courtsey check of the car at 1,500 miles. Is this a cosmetic look over eg fluids or is there more to it then that? Mike

Thanks AFApe worked and guide downloaded. Thank you. Mike

Thanks, will give the language setting a go. Cheers - Mike

Mine was built on 9th Sept '08 and took delivery 9th Oct.

Hi Chaps I've got the Premium Sat Nav with my new Focus. I can't seem to be able to change the distance on the actual nav from KMH to MPH. Anyone know how to do this? Isn't clear in the manual. Also is there anywhere that I can download the latest manual for the sat nav. My manual is the previous model! Thanks - Mike :wink:

Ordered mine in May 08 and got it last week! 2l TDCi Titanium.

Thanks Chaps - I'm relaxed about the colour match Kevin. Know the issues you had but I'm prepared to live with it. Looks fine in the flesh. :D
