Its a 5 week old 2.0tdci Zetec climate, it's not the AC as this is on the side area of the glove box.
-
Looked in the manual but doest mention anything, if you look at the back of the glove box there is a circle with a few holes cut out, in the middle is a hole which look to have a connection inside, any ideas what this is?. Rgds Andy

Forgive me if I am being stupid here: I can touch the driver’s door window and release and it goes all the way down, all well and good but to close I have to keep my finger on the button till it closes. The passenger side you have to hold the button till open and again hold till close is this correct as all my other cars have one touch for the front windows.

Is this an acceptable paint match.
dreamweaver replied to bazza1603's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
My paint match is spot on, and it was built in Germany. So I guess that theory is blown out of the window. Guess it's just down to luck more than anything. -
Diesel fuel types from different companies
dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Fuel comp reading around 52 mpg, given it's not 100% on the miles to fill up as this drops quite quick when in the low 40's, so info given is not far out each time I filled up. -
Diesel fuel types from different companies
dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Was showing 40 miles left and the fuel light had come on in all instances, so was 99% of all fill ups. -
These days we have choices of fuel to put in our engines, now as far I was aware diesel was diesel. I have had my Focus 2.0 TDCI for one month now and have put over 3000 miles on it so I thought I would try different fuels for the same type of journeys. To try and keep things pretty much for muchness I found the following: Shell diesel extra, 94.9 per litre stuck in £15 and ran till fuel light came on which was 210 miles. Total standard diesel, 94.9 again £15 and ran till light came on 208 miles. Esso standard diesel, 93.9 as above 214 miles. BP ultimate, 99.9 per litre as above 198

Strange/Odd/Frustrating things about your new focus
dreamweaver replied to Focus2.0's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Two main issues for me. 1, You press the drivers window button and release it goes all the way down, all well and good, but you have to keep your finger on the button all the way up to close it. And for the pass side you have to hold it both ways, seems a bit backward. 2, my radio volume comes on at level 6 every time it's switch on, and I can’t change it. Other than this all is well in the world Andy -
Checked last night and there aint nothing there apart from the plastic holder, ohh well was worth checking, thanks again for the info. Rgds Andy
-
Ahh I see now, think I was looking at the white plastic bracket not the black one, it this pic from the drivers side of passenger?. Andy
-
Thanks for the tip, will have another look later, pretty sure mine has a grey bracket with a hole, but no holders. Rgds Andy
-
Sorry to bring this up again, had a look under the pedals and I cant see any holders/cables, does this mean it hasn’t got them or am I being stupid,ie are they hidden up somewhere out of site, mines a new zetec climate. Rgds Andy

some pics of my new focus
dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Me too. From what I know with the bigger sized engine you get discs all round or if you have ESP or whatever its called. Mines the 2.0D and dics are standard on the 2.0 and above. -
Well two weeks of ownership, here's some pics, I must say having just got rid of the MkII Audi A3 for this I am most impressed, if fact I would go to say that it's bettter than the A3.

Daft question, when you switch the radio on its quite loud, volume 6 on mine, read the manuals but it doesn’t mention how to reduce to a lower level, any ideas? Rgds Andy

Some muppet has just hit my wing mirror
dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
I thought they ment the whole unit, so off I popped at lunch to the local dealer, he looked and said that the plastic bit I need is £36 a tin of paint £12, if I want them to spray it then it's + 1 hours labour. Total is somwhere near £150 inc vat. -

dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Thanks for that, been onto Ford and I have to take the car in so they can then order the part, re-sray the new unit and then want to charge we £180. This is a bit on the steep side isnt it?. It's only a piece of plastic. Also I would of thought these were off the shelf items?. -
Just been out and some D**k tried to squeeze past a parked van has smacked my wing mirror, unit ok but lost the closured plastic rear cover, it’s in pieces on the floor. The other driver didn’t stop, what’s the best way to get a replacement, dealer and how much roughly? Rgds Andy
-
Well my 2.0 TDci has just passed the 500 mile mark, and after a return trip to Anglesey at weekend I managed 250miles on £15 worth of diesel. The old computer displayed an average of 51.5 to the gallon. Well impressed. Rgds Andy :D

Swap MK2 hatchback rear wiper for MK2 ST?
dreamweaver replied to PeteBKK's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Just a quick update, my MKII only week old now has the same rear wiper as the ST, guess it must be a standard fit now. -
Stupid question to askk (help needed)
dreamweaver replied to dreamweaver's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Just tried your suggestion, works fine now, thanks for your help. Rgds Andy -

dreamweaver replied to PeteBKK's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
How do you find out where your car has been built? -
As per previous thread and 1 day into my Focus Ownership, and need a tad bit of help with the onboard computer. Car came with setup of temp in degrees in Fahrenheit, managed to change it to degrees C but then the fuel average and so on went in to KMH not miles and vice versa. How can I change to degress C and miles only? Did read the manual but not very clear. Rgds Andy
