Just get some new dials...I have white Plasma dials in my MK2 and they look lush night or day.

Facias - http://www.nexxia.co.uk/car_stereo_fitt ... /focus.htm

If you push it in and switch it left 1 notch from OFF it will enable parking lights - it turns on the rear brake lights when the engine is off I think.

I think you can get a bluefin chip anyway for the 100bhp to take it to 109bhp but the gains are only at the high end...

Got this on my mark 2. Will be getting rid of it soon: Where can I get that?? Looks awesome.

Bought it 6 months old so cant be 100% but mine defintely boosts at 3000rpm its the right rev number to use if im trying to get speed :twisted: Either way the only engine I wouldn't be sure about is a 1.4, sounds like it would be underpowered although I may be wrong as never driven one.

Mines a Nov 2007 MK2 Zetec climate...got tints booked in as well...getting 5% on the back 2 windows limo style 8) Also got the 17" alloys and sport pack with sport suspension. I think its the 100bhp engine in mine...how can you tell??

Maybe its ok all the time on the MK2.5?? :?

I have no problems with the 1.6 and no complaints it keeps up fine with my friends 1.8 Civic. So far only got the K&N filter, altohugh having a cat back exhaust system fitted this weekend.

Normally stays on for about 5-10 mins after locking (no idea why Ford set it up like this?!) and then comes on immediately if you unlock your car, shouldn't be on if it is locked for a few hours though like Phoebian said!

thanks I'll have a look next time I go past

I have a couple of dents no larger than my thumb nail on one of my doors - is it best to get them professionally removed or just use a suction pad off the internet? They are only small and the paint looks undamaged so it seems hard to justify the expense of professional removal...

anyone know where to get some? I bought a load off ebay but they are too big to slot in to the ford fuse compartment under the glovebox... have blown the cigarette lighter/power outlet fuse twice and running out of fuses to remove from other things that are not being used!

With the new ones you just unclip the front panel and unscrew the stereo...easy!

true...thats just excuse for splashing out £40 when nothing happened :D looking at getting this instead though - http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/ ... t=12565704 not sure if that is my style focus though...its so confusing how some shops call a 1.5 a mk2 etc.

And mine was a November 07 model - this was when they changed to cylindrical filters. Pete is correct.

My Focus 1.6 has the cylinder type filter not panel...replaced with K & N - no difference in speed or performance but obviously will work out cheaper over time.

My 1.6 petrol Zetec needs a small oil top up, would this be the right stuff? http://www.castrol.com/castrol/productd ... Id=7027374 Thanks.

Never seen that website before - looks good.

Would that have been for the American Ford Focus though? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... oupe_2.jpg

If anyones interested in what they look like fitted:

I'm pretty sure my solering wont hold - I dread to have to go back and start playing around with it again though if they start flickering off as its a bit of a mess... I have ordered a better soldering iron though so I am more prepared next time however. I'll stick some pics up later of the new dials, they look good.

All wired in - used the same wire Darando did in the post above so all good. Was the fiddliest thing I have ever done, and did nearly set fire to everything with the soldering iron... :shock:

Thanks Ben. Head unit has been upgraded to a Sony one but an aftermarket single DIN one not the Ford one so it has good output. I have a dual Vibe 3200 watt sub fitted in the back so bass isn't an issue, its more a case of trying to boost the mids and highs and get better clarity. Do you know anything about fitting them in a MK2? I haven't seen a guide anywhere and am not sure how to open up the door panels...

Hmmm I'll have a poke around. Might try playing around with the pins that plug in to the light control like Darando did for his submarine lighting (http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... c&t=175481 - 3rd post down) Hopefully should work!
