Ah yes, forgot bout that one, cant be that much more surely !!

Hi Guys Im gonna be part-ex'ing my 1.6 ti-vct soon. Was tempted to get the same engine in the new focus but have been thinking about the 2.0 petrol engine. I would really appreciate hearing from anyone with this engine about things such as 1. What us the actual fuel consumption like. (I do mostly town driving) ? 2. Is it a good engine, will i notice a big difference from the ti-vct ? 3. The ti-vct is smooth, is the 2.0 a noisy engine ? 4. Is it worth the extra £800 ish dfference in price between the ti-vct Sorry about all the questions and thanks in advance for your replies. Cheers G

Hi guys Just looking in the new 2005/6 brochure for the focus and one of the options is a "styling pack", its on page 48. It includes body colour spoiler and grill surround and 17 inch wheels. I know its not available yet but does anyone know how much?? local dealer doesnt seem to know yet. Think the body coloured grill surround would make a nice touch. Thanks in advance Leigh

There is an ST section. Instead of clicking on new 2005 Ford Focus forum topic scroll down and there is an ST section (some great pics and information). Its in the same section as the Focus RS and C Max Forums Leigh

I rang my local garage and they told me (if i remember correctly) that it was £325 for the single mp3 unit. I didnt even bother finding out the fitting costs, Ill just have to do without until I get and ST2 !!!! Hopw this helps Leigh

HI FOLKS, IVE SEEN FIESTA / MONDEO ZETEC 'S'. ANYONE KNOW IF THEY ARE PLANNING TO DO ONE FOR THE NEW FOCUS?? THANKS IN ADVANCE LEIGH

Hi, Just type ' 2005 ford focus' into ebay and it comes back with loads. Hope this helps Regards Leigh

How did you manage to get 23% instead of the standard 20% Thanks Leigh

Hello and happy new year. I have a small problem. Got a small paint chip on my new 2005 focus. Its quite deep, exposing the white underneath. My car is panther black. I was wondering if anyone could recommend how to get this fixed. Should i take it to the dealers (do i need the paintcode) or should i buy a touch up pen (if so which one would you recommend). Thanks in advance Leigh.

Hi just a quick one. On the ford website the focus car configurator gives a new engine option as 1.8 FLEXI FUEL. does anyone know what this is, how it works and how good it is???. Its a few hunderd quid more that the 1.6 ti-vct. Thanks in advance Leigh

Thanks chaps, Leigh

Hi, Im looking to part ex/sell my focus to upgrade to another model. I would really appreciate anyones help on what i would get for my focus if I part ex'd it at the dealers and/or if i was to sell it privately. I have a 3-door zetec climate in panther black. Its 1.6 ti-vct with 17"alloys. it currently has 4000 miles on the clock but will have about 5000 when im looking to sell. Its an 05 plate registered in march Its in top-notch condition, with not a mark on it. Any ideas/indications would be much appreciated.

Hi. After the heavy rain today ive noticed water coming into the car. It was dripping through onto the drivers seat. Only a couple of drops. Dont know whether I fancy putting my car in for that type of repair though. Leigh

Hi, You only get air conditioned glove box on ghia and titanium. hope this helps Leigh

Why spend £800 when you can get 17's for £200 and they look great. Have a look at the images on the "piccys" topic dated 08/10/05. Hope this helps Leigh

Hi, bear with me cos i dont know too much about engines. I have a Zetec ti-vct. when i picked it up the dealer pointed out the ti-vct unit to me. If you look at the picture Tony has posted, the main engine bit (i refer to the black square bit with the oil cap on it) (told you i knownothing about engines) there is a little silver type unit immediately on the left. This is what i was told wasw the ti-vct unit......nothing special to look at. Ive got about 3500 miles on the clock and get about 32mpg round town. Hope this helps Leigh

I found ELEPHANT to be the cheapest. Hope it helps Leigh

HI, IVE GOT THE NEW MODEL FOCUS ZETEC CLIMATE 3 DOOR IN BLACK. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNEW IF THERE WERE ANY DIFFERENT LIGHT COVERINGS FOR THE REAR LIGHTS, E.G FROSTED/TINTED ETC. IVE HEARD MENTION OF "OEM LIGHTS". WHAT ARE THESE, WHERE CAN YOU GET THEM FROM, HOW MUCH AND DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PICTURES. THANKS IN ADVANCE LEIGH

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR ADVICE, MUCH APPRECIATED LEIGH

Thanks very much. I'll give the dealer a ring tomorrow and hopefully get it sorted. Leigh

I was wondering if anyone could help with the following problem. Ive had a 1.6 tivct focus zetec climate for 6 months now. The only issue I have is a mysterious rattling noise when im driving. Its driving me mad. If im driving on a smooth road I can't hear anything but if im on a bumpy uneven road it starts up. The thing is it doesnt do it all the time. Ive checked everything, emptied the car etc. One day it wont do it and the next day it will. And for some reason it gets alot worse when the air con is on. There are other comments on this page from another member about a whirrling noise but
