  1. :!: Have a word with local dealer about adapting cars for people with Mobility difficulties...they maybe able to suggest a way round the accelerator problem.
  2. Recommended min. 1/2hour per month to keep things working OK and to stop bacteria building up :wink:
  3. Should be a right foot rest for Ghia drivers when the "Cruise" is on. :lol:
  4. Find somewhere quiet and set off without seatbelt fastened and see what happens :!:
  5. Does not bother me but...:idea: Dont overfill it. lol
  6. Different tack how about comparing the price of a rock bottom broker/internet supplied Ghia to current models tested and if comparable ordering it with adjustable pedals :D
  7. I doubt very much Ford will alter a policy decision regarding the availability of this option :( Regards retro-fitting if the parts are available I suspect it will cost 2 to 3 times as much as the option price :( :( Sorry to be the bearer of "Good News" / "Bad News" :( :( :(
  8. According to latest Price List - Adjustable Pedals are still available.....BUT only on Ghia and Titanium. http://www.ford.co.uk/spg/getImage.asp? ... =Focus.pdf
  9. I have Premacys on mine and find them much quieter than the Pirelli P6 I had on my old Focus :)
  10. Did you buy the car new? Ford offer adjustable pedals as an £100 option...hope this is not being wise after the event.
  11. The problem is caused by water getting in though the seal and affecting the release micro switch. A new switch was fitted under warranty so hopefully no more "Luggage Compartment Open" incidents :)
  12. AFAIK certain engines give a psuedo instant read-out - my 1.6TI-VCT does but its only temporary then settles to average MPG.
  13. Cars built after March 2005 are unaffected by rear wiper issue :)
  14. I can't pin-point exactly where the sound comes from... but it's inside the trim close to the base of the nearside hatch support strut. Hope this makes sense :)
  15. Whilst taking my car in this morning to get the boot latch sorted out, got this message "Engine Management Failure". Car seemed normal so - great timing I thought will get this dealt with at the same time :) Phone call 11.30am car is ready...picked it up lunchtime and I asked about this "Failure" message. No Fault Found was the reply. How can a warning like this be displayed and then no record of it in a diagnostic check :?
  16. Today about to set off when the hatch door popped open - got out shut it happen again. Now it unlocks at random. Soonest local dealer can have a look at it is Friday. Has this happen to anyone else and what is the solution? :( :( :(
  17. Still available according to Ford Car Configurator :?: :?: :?:
  18. I seem to remember reading somewhere using the wrong grade oil can cause problems with the valves - my advice change it to correct grade ASAP :wink:
  19. In days gone by heating elements could be repaired using a dab of silver conductive paint - probably not recommended nowadays.
  20. Curly. Just guessing but I think the idea is to generate more heat there to defrost the wiper blade and stop it freezing to the screen in extremely cold conditions.
  21. Not heard about this size until now. Are you asking before you buy specifically for the Sony MP3 :?: Do you intend burning in MP3 format :?:
  22. If you do decide on 17" wheels bear in mind the cost of replacement tyres :wink: BTW Sony MP3 will also play CDRWs 8)
  23. Is this for the 1.6 or the TI-VCT engine:?:
