  1. i have the 1.8 duratec he. i havent noticed any problems, but im not sure what pinking is. i have only ever filled up at the bp stations. not the ultimate stuff.
  2. my 2007 1.8 does 24 / 25mpg. pretty much all short journeys. it went up after re-setting the trip computer but it soon dropped back down. :(
  3. mine doesnt do it either. mine is a 2007 (57) zetec climate. seems abit stupid to me too. why would you only want to lock the passenger door and not all of them? :evil:
  4. im gonna leave it for now cheers. need to sell my stuff that doesnt fit first. :cry: :cry: so if anyones interested in ford fiesta st pedal covers or a 2006 mk2 chrome grill, let me know. they will be on eaby shortly. fingers crossed i can make my money back. new years resolution : do not jump into things on ebay!!! :lol: :lol:
  5. i have the 1.8 he 125 and my mpg is around 26. it really is that bad, but i do alot of very short journeys. i dont red line it either, so i wouldnt recomend it in the 1.8. unless you own your own petrol company. :lol: it is a good car to drive though and does shift when you are in the powerband like zetecste said. cant comment on the 1.6, never driven one.
  6. saw a picture of this today on ebay and i really liked the black stereo surround. its off the st. mine has a silver one at the moment but i wouldnt mind one of these. tried searching on ebay and google but cant come up with anything. this is mine at the moment.... [/img] and this is what i found............ [/img]
  7. ok cheers. im keeping my eye out for the mk2 pedal covers on ebay but havent seen owt yet. i bought a grill off ebay the other day, one with the chrome surround. that didnt fit either. ford must have changed the design between 2006 and 2007. think mine is the mk2.5 cos its has the different stereo.
  8. answered my own question today. it is a big NO! i could get the covers to go on but they have too much of a curve on them and dont sit flush on the peadl so no good. :cry: not having a good month on ebay. everything i seem to buy doesnt fit. :evil: :evil:
  9. i think that they mean mk2.5. cos the picture of it on ebay is totally different to the one i got the other day. alot of people seem to sell things under the wrong heading on ebay. i have to type in focus mk3 for it to find things for the mk2/2.5. and even when you do that you sometimes get stuff for the mk1 appearing!!! CRAZY :lol: :lol:
  10. just had a look on ebay for another one and i have found one off a 2007 model. it says that it is a phase three grill, is this the right one??? :roll: :roll:
  11. hi, i have an ms design grill on my 2007 (57) reg focus but wanted to go back to standard so i ordered one from a car breaker on ebay. in the description it said that it was off a 2006 focus so i thought it would fit okay. but when i came to fit it today it wont go in. it has plastic clips at the bottom that are stopping it from going in and it seems to be wider so it doesnt line up with the holes. does anyone know if ford changed the design of these or something between 2006 and 2007? looks like it will be going on ebay if anyone is interested. i paid £25 then another £8 for delivery. i
  12. hi, just wondered if anyone knows whether the foot pedal covers for the focus are the same size as the ones for the fiesta, (mk6). teamtorquesteer are selling the aluminium ones for the fiesta st but i dont wanna spend £70 and then they wont fit. i have emailed the fellas there but they dont know either. cheers for any help :lol: :lol:
  13. thats true but you will be even more gutted when you see ur brand new car, that you paid full price for, start to get blemishes from everday wear and tear. i remember i was fuming mad when i started to spot stone chips and cat claw scrapes on my new sea grey fiesta. personally i wouldnt worry about a small thing like that, only you will notice it cos you know its there. bet you could find marks on any car if you really looked hard. i would go for it and spend the money you saved on a good doctor to help you with your issues. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  14. i know that when you turn your heater up and direct it at the windscreen the air con comes on, but this morning when i got in my car and cracked her up the temp was 0 degrees. to my surprise both the quickclear front windscreen and heated rear window came on automatically, it was amazing. it was like the car knew that i was about to turn them on ! ! ! :lol: :lol: anyone else noticed this? the quickclear windscreen is a godsend in this weather. all the cars on my road were totally frosted this morning but i was on my way in less than a minute, meanwhile my dad sat there in the freezing cold
  15. i get that quite abit when selecting reverse. sounds like a common thing, wouldnt be too worried. its just abit embarassing if your in the middle of swinging it round and cars are waiting for you!!!! :D :( :D :(
  16. i think i remember seeing on the k&n box that the k&n cylinder air filter shows better results than the k&n flat filter. will have to dig it out and double check. :) do people on here not rate the astras then? im in two minds myself, i do like the way the sport hatch looks but have never driven one. my old corsa never did me wrong. (1.2 sxi). just to let you all know, i got a letter today from ford telling me that there may be a problem with the engine mount studs on the 1.6 diesel fiesta that i had before the focus. it applies to the fusion as well. so anyone who has one expect a
  17. i agree. a 6th would be nice. so would rear discs as its a 1.8. i expected mine to have these. i have seen some whizzpopper astras 1.6, with them. why doesnt mine!!!! drums are already showing signs of rust :(
  18. hi, i checked out my rpm at 70 yesterday zetecste, about same as yours. i was one notch over 3000. (3250). i know what you mean about the power band. cant help but floor it sometimes :lol:
  19. i drive it pretty sensibly, but i do alot of small trips (1 mile) to and from work. i rekon thats to blame. i will check out the rpm at 70 this weekend, never paid much attention to that before.
  20. i think it is good, i noticed a difference. my engine is the duratec he 1.8. my average mpg is around 30 at the moment. before the filter i was getting around 24 which i could not believe. just before i put the kn in i also reset the average mpg counter which i think may have helped. despite my average mpg going up my petrol doesnt seem to be lasting me much longer. :(
  21. i think that its just the 57 reg that takes the cylinder filter. so you should be okay. i have noticed a difference, it feels to be more responsive when i put my foot down and picks up better. i would definately recomend one. as for a sound clip, i dont see much point, that hasnt really changed. not once i put the plastic casing back on the air box. :lol:
  22. finally got hold of a k&n air filter for my 2007 focus 1.8. ordered one from ebay a few months back but when it came it was the wrong type. it was a flat one but mine needed a cylinder one. kept checking for availability on the k&n website and now they are finally in stock. got mine from ebay, £54 delivered. this is the old paper one i took out, (simple to do) the new k&n filter, (isnt it nice) finally installed. (now 125 bhp)
  23. i used a can of grey pastic primer from halfords. about £5. it has worked okay for me. i didnt use a grey undercoat, just sprayed the ford base coat straight onto the grey plastic primer.
  24. you dont sand between the paint and the laquer. it says on the rattle cans that you need to apply the laquer 30 minutes after spraying on the paint. so you couldnt sand it anyway as it would still be tacky. just sand before applying primer and then again 24 hours after, just to get off ant rough bits of primer. thats it.
  25. copycat :lol: looks much better, nice one.
