  1. wana find the power curves for my focus. its a 1.6l mk2 115ps. can any1 link me or upload the charts? thanx.
  2. thnx. ive shown the guy a few of the probs but im gonna show him the rest and let him hear the noise the car makes. he says getting it sorted isnt a problem. dont think i'll have any trouble getting it sorted. just means i'll be driving the ka for a couple of days.
  3. its going back to the garage on tuesaday nite. im just wondering wot it is, for learnings sake. the noise changes with the revs. its an insurance job so i can reject it till its right, im keen to learn about wot random sounds mean tho. need to learn about cars, total noob i am. thing is....the car was running perfect when it went into the garage. now it leans to the left and the steering wheel is sitting to the right, and theres the random sound.
  4. since i got my car back from the garage after me crash, its bee making a noise, which changes with the revs. its a high pitched noise, but not as high pitched as an sc. its bugging the hell out of me. any ideas wot it is? the guys in the garage had the alloys off and fixed the camber and laser aligned it, other than that my car way running perfectly before it went in. came out running bad. going back in to get fixed on tuesday for free cz it was there fault but still wana know wots up.
  5. got the car back on friday, just in time for my road trip to manc and brum for the weekend. but it'll need to go back, theres a small missmatch in the paint on the rear wing, a small chip on 1 of the handles, a door needs adjusted, the bumper needs adjusted and the steering wheel is sitting squint. but the guys in the body shop were very helpfull and said to give them a call this week so i can get it in again to sort the little problems i listed above. and the focus is a far better car than the mariva in every way. its quicker, handles miles better and is way more comfterble to sit in. l
  6. cool cool, theres no way im driving about with a a bad matching spray. didnt think to look for over spray on other parts tho, will keep an eye out for that too now. gonna give the garage a call on monday to see how its going, might be able to tell me when it'll be ready.
  7. zetecste, i'll be spending a good 30mins looking over everything. i have a right to reject any work i think isnt good enough right?
  8. i cnt wait to have the focus steering wheel back in my hands, will have it back by thursday i think. im gonna treat it for puting up wth my bad driving. st spoiler asap, followed by springs and st bumpers all round. any comments on the handling improvements ide expect?
  9. zetecste, u have a point there.
  10. zetecste, lol, yeh, heres hoping. i cnt be asssed getting pics but the mariva is fully colour coded and has tinted windows, its like a pimped people carrrier. and compared to the focus....which is also 1.6, its a slug on sleeping pills....sluggish and relaxing. nothing sporty about it. makes me wana pick up the theoretical kids from football practice after school. grr!
  11. Seb_TDCi, cool, i thot i was only entitled to a 1 litre from wpt my insurance told me. the "bus" aint so fun to drive, not liking the mariva atall!and to top it off, all the prices at work have been cut by 10%. which follows a 12% drop a couple of months ago. im struggling to make 8£ an hour as a joiner!
  12. Seb_TDCi, lol yeh. was supposed to get a lil 1 litre ka but the ka had a cracked windscreen so they gave me the 1.6 mariva.
  13. ok its in for repair now, and enterprise has gave me a whizzpopper mavira while the focus is getting sorted. handles like a bus compared to the focus and the handbrake is in a s**t position :evil: , cant wait to get the focus back on the road.
  14. just look out for the usual wear and tear, scratches and dents on the outside, fag burns and tears on the seats, pulling to the side while braking or letting go of the steering wheel. make sure abs is working. shouldnt be too much to look for on a 55 plate tho. its pretty new and a nice car, should be well looked after.
  15. HighlanderUK, still not in for repairs. steve has sent the pics and a list of parts needed to my insurance, still waiting for the go ahead to start repairs, really hope i get a blue/silver courtesy car. steve was really good at taking note of all damage and will even replace the primed door mouldings. he even took pics of a couple of scratches that werent done in the crash and said he'd se what he could do bout getting them sorted in the insurance repairs.
  16. the damage doesnt look that bad in the pics, but the radiator is twisted and that dent you see on the rear wheel arch is bigger than it looks and the rear door is also dented next to the arch, but it doesnt really show up in the pic. the sill is worse than it looks aswell. laurence of kemney are calling me in the next day or 2 to arrange to have it looked at, then the insurance will take care of it. ive got a 500£ xs to pay tho.
  17. lol yeh ur right, smells like 1 too, think theres some neap stuck under the car somewhere. pics showed when i first put them up but after comming back on the computer again they aint showing. my pics are up on photobox...must not be as good as photobucket.i'll try get them working again tonite, college just now so i cant get to my pics.
  18. gotta have some mince in there too.
  19. goes with tatties quite well.
  20. peatsie, i may have tripped over a neap while trying to have a look at my car :oops: just cant wait to get it all fixed, the cars a bit of an embarressment just now. went straight to a car wash after the crash, mud everywere.
  21. thanx every1, im fine. Seb_TDCi the cars still on the road, just doesnt look too good just now. peatsie, it happened on the road between methlick and tarves on some tight bends, should of been going like 35mph, i think i was closer to 50mph :oops: Focez, whiskey did the job, had a great nite last nite actually. spent quite a while laffing at my stupidity.
  22. lost control of the car last night, was like a scandanavian flick, by accedent. spent 2 hours in a field of neaps trying to driveit out with planks under the wheels and neaps flying about everywhere. in the end i almost got back on the road and bellied the car on a bump just 1ft from the tyres getting back on the road. AA had to take me the rest of the way. luckily the car still drives perfectly, but its an insurance job with 500£ ecsess. i now have a good excuse to go ahead and get an st bumper or similar. pics up of the damage later, im away to have a strong drink of whisky.
  23. geoff_the_ref, lucky b*****D, altho the front 2 is all u need really.
  24. Focez, ah ok thanx, so they are stuck on just like the door mouldings, simply peel and rub off the sticky stuff (might be over simplifieing) thanx focez, lovin the smurfet pic btw.
