  1. Ditto, that. So long and thanks for all the help. :) 5,4,3,2,1...............(Tumbleweed)
  2. Sorry, I don't quite follo the pictures of the tool you've posted. Is the black disc on the first pic an extra part that you've had to make or what? Sorry if I'm missing something here! :? as you say 'simple modifications' TIA
  3. I'm fairly sure that I've only unplugged wires for seat heater and motor switch etc. as I'm only lifting the seat base and the airbag is part of the backrest. :? Anyway, new motor will be £108+VAT ! :( Seems as though manual one is only avaible as part of seat frame so it could be worse! :roll: I know what you mean about all the toys breaking down but I really needed one with EPB so ther was no real option of a LX or Zetec secondhand. I still like this car though!
  4. OK so I've been out tinkering in the cold by torchlight. It turns out that seat base/cushion is held by 2 bolts at front, then lifts up and out (after unplugging a few wires) improving access loads. I can now drill out rivets to get motor unit off. Motor gear had lost a few teeth (in sealed housing) and spewed a few bits through the casing! Not looking forward to pricing up a new motor unit at Frauds on Mon. though. :cry:
  5. The electric height adjuster on my seat has broken. Think it has broken some teeth off the cog in the motor drive. Anyone any ideas? Has anyone had these seats aparts at all as the motor drive is riveted onto the seat base and would have to dismantle seat to get to them! Do i need to worry about anything about the seatbelt tensioner or airbag wires if I remove the seat? Help!! I'm 6'2" and my wife 5' so need this working ASAP! Could I replace it with a manual adjuster or are they completely different? TIA Eddie
  6. 1.6tdci will easily do 60mph in 5th which should give you best mpg - in region of 65mpg as Andy says. Go up to 70mph and it will be more like high 50's mpg. A light foot is better for high mpg than using cruise control as it will try to maintain the speed going up hills and lose you mpg. Of course, mpg also depends on other factors- loading and driving style etc.
  7. The hand book is incorrect, I took mine into the dealers just after buying it with the same complaint!
  8. No lights on cruise controls - there are small pimples on some of the buttons -like braille
  9. I'll swap you a set for my Ghia alloys......
  10. I have bought keys and remotes off Ebay (new ones) and had them programmed by ford without batting an eyelid. Setting up remotes is easy, it's having the key cut and programmed to start the car that costs lots of pennies. I think Keith is just after a remote fob to use.
  11. Tony Blair? Come on, get with it!!
  12. See my post. Web Page Name. Apparently reverse switch and 1 sensor were replaced(under warranty)
  13. Caught a glimpse of the new c max telly advert last night. Doesn't show much of the car at all.
