Just recently replaced the Continental Sport Contact 3 that I had on my 17's - they were very good in the dry & wet but were terrible in the frost / ice / snow - I know it's been a bad winter but they were so much worse than I can ever remember - ABS was kicking in regularly. The replacements are Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 - loads quieter than the Conti's, great dry grip & wet grip is even better. No ice to try them on now but on a slippy grass verge with very soggy mud they grip better whereas the Conti's just spun & got the traction control cutting in. There's quite a few re

Get ya nose inside the screen wash bottle & have a good sniff - happens a few times on the MK1's & just needs a good clean out at least that will rule out an easy fix :D

HELP TUNING 07 FORD FOCUS 1.6 TDCI SPORT !!!!!!!!
sp8y replied to BamBam87's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Remap probably the best - maybe the remapper can advise on further mods but as above maybe intercooler - probably won't gain anything by capping off the egr tho' unless it's knackered but you'd almost certainly know that by all acounts. Maybe run it on Shell V-Power Diesel & put some Millers Diesel Power Sport 4 additive into the fuel tank. Try on tdocuk.com forum for some extra info :D Oh & you are removing your dragon box before the remap aren't you :wink: -
Aye it was Jamz.

I'd get it down to a refurber & see if they can weld it up. Had a hairline crack welded in my 18's & the guy said it would be just as strong (if not more) than it was before - in fact he said they never get any back.

Wet front window - Pollen filter - UPDATE

Had the same issue on the wifes Fiesta - in fact there was an inch or two of water in the spare wheel well :shock: I sealed all over the outside of both hinges including top of bolts / nuts & not just around the hinge where it touches the body. Think I covered the whole thing in sealant & it's dry as a bone now :D -
Can't go wrong with the Toad alarms IMO. Got the Toad A850T2 in my MK1.5 & it's been faultless - works with OE Ford remote & with the deadlocking. As your's is a MK2 I would send a pm to MR TOADINSTALLER (in the Ice & Security Forum) & he may be able to recommend actual available models.

Cheapest good quality wiper blades????
sp8y replied to donovan2123's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Try to get some refills - my local motor spares shop said you can't change the rubbers in the aero wipers but I found that VW sell them seperate for theirs so it may be worth a look on ebay for the Ford refills. -
foxyfocus, Looks great mate - like the frowning look 8) adampick, sikaflex 221 should do the trick.

Is it an aftermarket alarm Teribus, if so it may have an override key that fits in somewhere :?

New tyres for 18's recommendations
sp8y replied to RednRacey's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Only used Toyo T1-R in 18" & find them very good in both wet & dry. Had Falken 512 (total crap) & Khumo in 17" - not good in the wet but Bridgestone RE050A (assymetrical one) great in wet & dry but maybe a bit noisey. Would certainly get the Toyo as they seem to wearing OK aswell. -

The Osram Rainbow ones are good but you can clearly see the rainbow colour coming thru' - fine I suppose of ya want that look. The Phillips ones are good aswell (got 'em in the front indicators on mine) & they shine brighter than standard orange bulbs. Both are good 8) -
I like the new front end but I just don't like the back of the MK2 - can't get away with it TBH.
