is that not the fog lamp you have replaced ? if so what do you do if its foggy or if the police notice you dont have a fog light as thats points on your licence surely if it gets foggy and you havent got one ?

ive just been cleaning my car and had a trial removal and i can now say that it is not connected to the window runners :? the top piece of rubber that touches the cars body just simply pulls of and pushes back on so realislty if ford will replace them it should take 10 mins max to do the job :D and that is the rear doors and the front . go and have a look mate its real easy to do :wink: thats if it is the top piece making the noise as surgested in the pm

updated pm Hi Mikeyg, The dealer will hopefully raise it with Ford Technical and they will get the deailer to go through the following various stages of fix. Stage 1 - Lubrication - This is only a temporary fix and they will end up creaking more regularly. Stage 2 - Cleaning - Using neat washing up liquid. This works initially, however repeat applications become more necessary as the seals loose essential oils. Stage 3 - Replacement - The dealer will finally replace the top flocked seal, which is a complex job as this flocked seal is connected to the flocked window runners, which

a guy on ebay sells the alloys brand new with new rubber for just shy of £600 but i dont know if they are imatation or ford ones :wink:

just had a pm from smjohns i think was his name but hes not a paid meber so thought id share this with you guys Hi Mikeyg1981, I noticed your post about creaky door seals and am not a member so could not post. Anyway this is a known issue and you definitely should raise it with your dealer. If you are out of warranty then make sure you do not apply any oils or lubricants. If you have done this then get some neat washing up liquid and clean all the seals and surrounding bodywork. The creaking bit is mainly caused by the flocked seal at the tops of the door so cleaning this is the most

noidea bud thats just my theory why is kind of squeeks . but as i said mine only does it coming ooff / going on my drive as its at a funny angle :wink:

best do the front ones aswell mate :wink: all the doors in my house used to squeek but cooking oil done the job a treat 6 months on and still no noise coming back . you can be the pioneer to see it it works with rubber aswell :D

or whats meant to be realy good is cooking oil put a small amount on a cloth and lightly go over the sels round the rear doors

yeah its as you geussed its the rear door seals as the body slightly flexes , incidentaly mine only does it when it has been a hot day ................. so thats not a lot then :lol: but mines is a 06 5 door lx with 14000 my maw has a 56 5 door sport with 2000 :shock: which also does this so think it might effect all 5 door models . i will be giving the seals a slight touch over with vasaline or some thing similar but to be honest it doesnt bother me as you say its only when i go up or down my drive i hear it . my drive goes donw then slightly up and when i come of it im at an angle which ma

wish i hadnt posted now :roll:

about £350 buying the parts as all work has been done my self ....... but would have cost me more than £300 to buy the higher spec car to begin with :? so that doesnt realy matter does it ? fogs new , steering wheel & speedometer & chrome grill all from a breaker car and centre console from tezza at a second hand discounted rate :wink: i bought the ms design kit but that wouldnt have been on the zetec and 18"s again wouldnt have been on a zetec cheapest ford direct cars on fords web site and mine was £7500 as i got a hand from the folks since i was buying a sensible car (didnt me

was going to cost me £75 a year to change up to a 1.6 zetec over the three years ill have the car £225 . plus ive got the ms design kit and getting 18"s fitted so that will take me up to around the same as insuring the std zetec 1.6 but would have to have paid extra on the zetecs insurance with the kit and wheels if you know what i mean :lol: end of the day its the best i could afford all running costs ect and wanting big wheels and kit ect and the end of the day im loving it altho it is just a lx :wink:

yeah it does and mines is a baby 1.4 remeber lol the lx part plays little on the insurance front but engine size and spec make it jump from my group 4 up to 6 for 1.6s to 10 for 1.8s-2ltrs . i want the looks but dont have any need for the power ive been there and done that i had a 2ltr turbo jap car that got me in all kinds of debt and wanted something dirt cheap to drive whilst still a good looking car ect

Where's the fun in that? Okay it makes sense to buy the right model in the first place, but sometimes you end up with a car for factors outside of your control at the time. Besides it's addictive to find out what you can do to it... :D Having said that in most cases it's probably cheaper to get the car / options when new / changing car. i needed a car that week for work ect and wanted a mk2 foci as my maw has the 1.8 sport and i realy liked the look . i realisticly did want a 1.4 sport but they were more expensive at the time :oops: money or rather debt was a factor but ive got my mk2 fo

insurance , road tax , runing costs and it wwas the cheapest car(not far of 7 n a half on a 06 plate 9 months old ) the garage had in the new shape with ford warentee :oops: when my 200sx decided to either chew the head gasket or chew a ring or melt the tubby oil seals :roll:
