Oh well my car was taxed last week for £125 i think

My OH is obsessed with pressing the phone button on my car god knows why lol He always tells me to be careful when playing with the toys lol because years ago his dad got a new "used" car and spent an hour on the drive playing with the electrics - when he went to drive away the battery was dead lol My Ghia doesnt have electric seats :-( my 52 reg did and i miss them lol

Oh jeez sorry to hear that hope you get it sorted (well written off)

sorry didnt realise you had already said that - so can i unlock and lock it again without resetting it?

Oh yeah it auto resets when you unlock it again as far as i am aware so you have 2 remember lol

luckily as i was leavin dealership the guy told me - cos he had asked if i knew the controls and i said yeah they cant be that different to the old focus but he mentioned that incase you leave the car with the windows open a bit etc

Theres a button next 2 the door handle that looks a bit like an electric window switch if you press it the trip computer says interior scan deactivated

ah right mines a Ghia and dealer did say it was cat 1 just want sure if that was a standard thing or not - damn pain having to turn the interior one off when i leave the dog in the car lol

Just wondering do all the new foci have interior and perimitter alarms and are they thatcham cat 1 approved alarms?

I dont.... well i do but not car finance i couldnt get a loan being young and not a house owner etc my mum got a loan for me which im paying back so its on finance in that sense First car my bro bought cash for me (Y Reg Fiesta in 2002) Second Car i did Part ex and had some cash, did borrow a bit from my dad (Focus 52 reg in 2004) And last week got my 05 reg focus which as i say i Part exed the other focus for and then got the loan Thats my car history lol OH Had his Mondeo on finance then added it 2 the mortgage when he remortgages because the finance APR was so high

Maybe he meant the dealership's policy rather than Fords - ive never bought a new car tho so im not entirely sure

Not sure the guy said to me when i picked my used one up "you dont get the RAC cover with this" and when my OH got his car used a couple of years ago they were trying 2 match what came on new cars and he got RAC's basic breakdown

Can you change the bulbs in any focus for the LED's?

I lost £3000 on my Ghia in just over a year its heart breaking isnt it!

cheers :D

according to the ford website my car should have # Headlamp Delay headlights (switch-off headlights) Is that the thing where they stay on so you can see to get in the house etc? and if so how does it work because mine dont seem to stay on - admittedly i havent really read the manual yet

Mine had 10 months MOT and 2 months tax - you sure you cant argue with the dealership a bit more - we demanded the extra £500 because we told them how much cash we wanted to pay for the car - they then insisted on taking it for a test drive before agreeing! - how many miles does it have on the clock?

Not sure i got £5,500 for my 52plate 1.6 Ghia - altho they did notice the rust on the boot strip thingy - was probably robbed but im not too bothered because it was still having problems when i dumped it on em after it already having the fuse box, ignition coil and various parts changed and apparently needed new plugs and leads

I made Allen Ford go away and double check anyway and they said yeah its the 115 even tho their website didnt say that lol Its a great drive im definitely loving it so far - and i love the auto headlights as im incapable of remembering to swiitch them on and off

My 05 reg Ghia 5 door hatchback was made in Germany or at least the 7th carchter is a G

I got my 05 reg focus last night actually thought i was buying a 100 but its a 115 lol and its great - its the only car ive test driven tho so dont know what the 100 is like but i like it a lot more than my 52 reg already its a lovely smooth drive and goes nice and fast

Well i have a tonic and ive seen LOADS of them

Mines a used 3800 miles on clock so not bad! replacement for my 1.6 ghia facelift that i had nothing but problems with so hopin this ones better lol fingers crossed! - only picked it up this evening so not had much of a play yet

Cool got a better one than i thought then lol The 115 is the one called the VCT then? sorry im a little slow lol

I thought my ghia was a 100 but now i think its a 115 i looked at the engine and the pics in the book and it looks identical to the VCT engine is that the 115?
