rsutcliffe, I've had this a few times just trying to get a time to take it down the dealer When your under heavy breaking and hit a dip/bump/whole in the road it feels like its grateing at the plates ? but if you take your foot off then re-apply its smooth again ? I thought it may have just been me but I will defo take mine back to the garage now ! Nick

Brevoltos, I may take you up on that offer but first your going to have to forgive my nievaty would this mean I would have to prime it and paint ? would this be as good as a un-painted one ? (Sorry never done anything like this) What price would you be looking for it ? (PM me if you wish) Cheers Nick

Well after 6 years of driving on road I finaly hit something :( I was navigating a underground car park and cliped the pillar A few light scratchs which I'm going to get a professional to cover up untill I can get a new bumper (when my kit comes some point this year) Luckley didn't do any damage to the joins or movment of bumper. Needless to say I scream kicked and punch the pillar as it was all its fault much to my girlfriend disagreeing it did make me feel better ! Anyways how much would a un-painted front bumper ? Or would this be one for the God amongst men Tezza ? Cheers

Adjustable Power Steering, whats the diff?
Newcott replied to YorkshirePudding's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
I use Sport all day long driving around town because its just more fun and makes me feel big and cleaver driving like a race driver ! 8) But I only ever change it comfort for long distance motorway driving, nice and light and less shake, its just a smoother ride over a long high speed distance.

S11nny, No problem, I was acutaly very impressed on the difference it makes considering its a kind of "middle of the road" engine being a 1.8 but its made it a lot deeper sounding and much more responsive ! Coudln't recommened it anymore and soon as I can going to go back and get the manifold done as well :) TDCI Sno, are you still having issues ? I can email them to you later tonight if you wish ? Nick

Sai, Mines a 1.8 and just had it back over the weekend. It sounds extemley nice. Its got a nice deep "growl" to it that when you put your foot down climax's upwards quite nicley yet it doesnt sound OTT or too loud like a corsa with a hole in it lol. I've got my mate to take a video of it for the sounds which I'll post up on here and the forecourt section sometime later tonight. Nick

Hi Sai, Its in preperation for fitting one earley next year, so will look a little better once thats on. Seriosley can't give enough props to the guys at piper, and garry specificley as he's been great on keeping me updated. I couldn't be any happier with it, its got a nice deep growl and not overpoweringly loud when cruising on the motorway. I've got a few piccys I've taken but I'll also get a video of how it sounds up by the end of the weekend. Sorry about the pick up again garry ! :oops: A very happy Nick

Temp dial and acceleration issues
Newcott replied to Newcott's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Just thought I would put a post up just in case anyone else gets this issue. Took my car down to fords for hte 1500 mile check up service and told them about it. Basicly they re-programmed the the on board comp. aprently they version wasn't up to date so the sensors (fuel/oxy ect) wenrt working well. All sorted now, accelerations now smooth and a bit more responsive and also a little better on the fuel economy. Nick -
