That'd be a nice little subtle mod - I have the smoked headlights at the front, so the side repeaters might look good smoked too.

That must be very annoying! I hope the seller has a returns policy just in case he's unable to give you the code...

PM sent :D

Fairly easy - like one of the other posters I also changed my Ghia surround for the Titanium one. If I can do it anyone can !!!

Never had a problem with Tesco (as a diesel user) and I can collect points on my loyalty card every time I fill it up.

Maximum Sporty Look = Wolf Medium Sporty Look = MS Design Subtle Sporty Look = Ford I think they all look decent in black so it depends how much of a radical change you want to your car.

Ooh I say! Interesting stuff. Makes sense to say goodbye to the "Sport" because IMO it never made sense - there was nothing ever remotely 'sporty' about it - it didn't even have Sports Suspension - you had to buy a Zetec for that, and the ultimate 'Sporty' model was always the ST anyway. Also nice to wave goodbye to the LX too as I always thought the front bumper looked naff without foglamps - it'll now therefore only be the cheapo Studio that doesn't have them. I'd already noticed that some of the latest STs I've seen about are coming fitted with the dark headlights - if this is now st

Also note that the main button controls are on the left-hand side of the head unit. These were positioned here with American drivers in mind so that they could easily access them .... not so convenient for us British though !

Got no real complaints with my 2.0TDCi, it's a far better performer than what my 1.6 Petrol used to be. Remember also that it's turbo-charged whereas the only turbo-charged petrol Focus is the ST.

Allen Ford fitted my 18" wheels and tyres back in January, and I don't think they fitted a rack limiter. Can't say I've had any problems.

Exactly this fault happened with my mk2 a few months ago, and it was fixed under warranty.

Yep I saw my first one on the road the other day. It's certainly good weather for them at the moment!

Hi Ceri :D Congrats on the purchase, I knew you wouldn't be disappointed with the mk2, it has a growing number of fans. :D Looking forward to the piccies!

I am liking a lot !! I've always thought the standard armrest is a bit of plastic poo. I think I may be putting an order in.

I do like that, well done.

I'm on my third mk 2. The first one was a rattly 1.6 Titanium which I had for a month and went back to the dealer. The second was another 1.6 Titanium which I'd planned on keeping, but when I saw the 2.0TDCI Ghia I fell in love! :P

This is the C-MAX forum, but might as well comment on my regular mk2 Focus which is a 2.0 TDCi Ghia. Yes - the MPG could be better, to be honest. After a fair bit of ordinary urban driving, my MPG read about 36 the other day. Although I have seen it as high as about 52, if I recall. From Ford's own statistics, it does appear that the 2.0 is the thirstiest of the diesel engines. Not sure what can be done about it (if anything).

I'm really glad that this is being talked about - because I've had the same "issue" as well (1.6 TiVCT). Hadn't realised it was the air-con though, so glad other people made the connection. Now I know ! Obviously with the weather lately, I've been using the air-con a lot. As people have said, you just need to apply a few more revs when pulling on to roundabouts etc, so I'll remember that in future. Thank you all ! :D

There's a video review of a green one on the What Car website. http://www.whatcar.com/car-review-video ... A=1&RT=692 :D

I'm on my 2nd Titanium. The first had a beige/cream interior, but it had dodgy build quality so I had it replaced and now I have one with the black interior.

Autoglass replaced the windscreen on my Titanium. No issues. I even tried it through the car wash. :D

Why are so many people on here "privilege"... is this forum just a load of Ford employees ? Mere plebs like me have to pay full whack. :(

Why do people refer to cars as "she" ? My car doesn't have a pair of breasts, so it probably isn't female. Having said that, it does have a big rear-end.

Rather than spending considerable money to add dodgy mods to squeeze out a few more bhp, why don't people just buy a better engine in the first instance ? Or have I missed something. :roll:

Click here. Really like this one - does anyone on here own it ? Was wondering about the alloy wheels - they look like the "machined rim" in Ford brochure but don't think they are exactly the same. Definitely Ford badged though. 2.0 diesel and has a good kit on it. I'm really starting to like red.
