Any pics mate? Davy

I've painted calipers before on my last focus and mine were painted black for some reason, then I actually moved onto a car with painted calipers (Fabia vRS) before moving back to a C-Max. I'm toying with the idea of painting mine green, when I get round to it. All I done on my focus was get a wire brush to the caliper and take some of the rubbish of it and then I painted it and it looked good.

Locking car when you drive away
Twisterboy replied to aldredd's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
I usually just lock the doors before I just pull off in the car, used to have this on my last car (Skoda Fabia) which I could do over my laptop ie plug a cable into the ECU and change it, but as people have said it's not deemed safe in a accident for example. -
Looking on the ford website the base model style has the chrome strip on the bonnet, also looking I can't believe how much the base model focus has shut up from £17870!! :shock: :shock:
-
Another way to tell is on the lip above the grill on the bonnet should be a chrome strip.

Your focus is a mark 2.5

Well with ours being a diesel I reckon I should be getting it in about 4000rpm!! Davy

Mine too has a shift indicator but I have never seen it come on and I've tried to put it on!! I think all the diesel focus' have this for economy purposes.

On my first car a micra, the brakes lasted about 55000miles. On My Fabia vRS I had to have new brakes all round at about 39K which I thought was a bit funny and quite low miles, turns out Skoda do that for the Fabia chaange all the discs at the two year service from what I gather reading on forums. My C-Max has only covered 27300 miles since new so I'm hoping that I don't need to replace these in the lifetime I own the car.

Mine was frozen for the best part of a week earlier this year! Lucky I don't use the car much, but as people say make sure it's a good concentrate or warm water into the bottle just to thaw it out.

Lucky the never fitted the bulb about £24!! from FRAUDS!

Changing air filter in MK2.5?
Twisterboy replied to HighlanderUK's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Cool, well to cut a long story short, I bought a filter from a well known internet company, who were selling the cone filter described as panel filter, needless to say I was a bit worried when I opened the box as the company told me it was a panel filter that would fit the car and not a cone filter, well after a month I got a panel filter, and opened the air box to find it was a cone filter. Needless to say I'm planning on using another company to get the right filter and fit this into the airbox. But thanks for clarifying this. davy -
Changing air filter in MK2.5?
Twisterboy replied to HighlanderUK's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
Am I right in thinking this filter would just fit in the airbox, or do you need to remove the airbox and fit this instead? I gave Pumaspeed a call and they advised that it was the same as the new RS as well. Davy -
Changing air filter in MK2.5?
Twisterboy replied to HighlanderUK's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
I presume yours will be the same as mine a cone filter inside the airbox, I recently had problems I have the 1.6 TDCI unit and ordered a filter which resulted in the company sending a cone filter which I thought was incorrect as I was assured it was a panel filter, so I sent it back and after a while got a panel filter, popped the air filter box after unsrewing to find it was a cone filter.... :twisted: :twisted: I presume the engine cover is just clipped on and a hard pull should remove it, I don't have a engine cover so you see like the look of the common rail diesel system and other thi -
Think it's October to November the Mark 3 comes out, I'm quite keen in the Grand C-Max which is ment to be a seven seater as when the C-Max came out Ford did not want to make a seven seater. Davy

I have a C-Max but I've not used it since Sunday due to this weather. But I agree could do with a 4x4 jus to get out of my estate.

1.4 too slow. Which focus engine should I upgrade to?
Twisterboy replied to EireFocus's topic in MK2 - Ford Focus 2005 > 2011
I would go for the diesel mate, I've been a diesel convert for two years I own the 90bhp 1.6 TDCI Zetec and the car really comes alive higher up in the rev band and is good for economy I'm usually seeing about 42-43 in the town and 57mpg on longer runs! -
It works perfect thats my little tweek to the car tonight!
-
will also give it a try as well.
-
Is that in measure menu?
-
Kenny1001 - That would be fantastic. Thanks
-
Yeah I have this problem too on my C-Max, but I can swear I have seen pics of ST's with the temperture guage in oC and miles. Annoys the hell out of me as I've always worked in oC and not Farenheight.

The wife keeps thinking it's something serious when she is driving to see the red snow flake as in a warning light for the oil or something like that.

Yep sounds like your frost light, mine done that a couple of weeks back just kept pinging many times while driving, it must be that qucik you don't even notice the light change from orange to red!

Mine's running on the standard pads from ford as well and even my wheels are manky, kid you not I clean the wheels and within 5 minutes their black again with dirt and brake dust!
