got a 1.6 vct zetec climate at about 1,500 miles now- never get below 40 mpg even with a/c on

Im gutted i have no wiring in place

had a good look- I've got a black bracket each side which appear to have a hole that is big enough to hold the bulbs, but no wiring. Take it no 06 plate zetec's have the wiring in place. If possible would someone be able to take a close up picture of where the brackets are

my 06 zetec climate doesnt have them too!!!

Really sorry to tell you this but my car got written off after a crash the replacement time for my ford zetec climate was just under 3 months(without esp)- so be ready for a wait. Sad thing is theres nothing you can do about being carless when your insurance replaces your car Its a win lose situation

Went to 4 seperate dealers in portsmouth, southampton, gosport and Cardiff(due to move there!) whilst i was looking. Was told by the cardiff and portsmouth dealer that it had been discontinued. As soon as they reach enough orders to meet the quantity of paint left, it will be gone for good. Aquarius from release was only due to last a couple of years due to it being a so called trend colour. It will not be in next years brochure in the same way Rosso Red went from the most recent 2005/6 brochure Maybe it was too close to the performance blue of the ST for peoples liking :lol: Seems mad to

I actually didn't lose anything on my focus from direct ford. I bought it brand new for 9 grand from them in march 05 plate. Was a complete bargain- saving over 4 grand on list price. I racked up 11,000 miles over 11 months before sadly writing it off getting full insurance payout. BUT I think i could have sold it for near that!! Best experience of my life getting a car from them! Got long coach journey from southampton then hit the town! Got picked up next morning from the hotel free of charge and given a tour of newcastle from a really nice driver from the company before getting my car! I

aquarius blue is popular though you can't buy it in that colour anymore

Same here, getting exactly the same car as you in a few weeks. My old zetec had an head rest in the centre too- weird they've decided not to keep it. The colour your getting is aquarius blue, we're quite lucky to get it as it has now been discontinued. I wouldnt mind buying your 17 inch wheels if your selling them :)

www.brokers4cars.co.uk could probably beat this price too!!

Directford option is the one to get- I suppose i wuld be biased though having bought my old edge from them- haggled them down to 9 grand all in(with velour mats!), being the last of the old shape march 2005 plates! Bought my ford focus 1.6 vct zetec climate from a main dealer nearer to me this time though, couldnt be bothered to get a national express from southampton to newcastle again!hehe- if you do it go coach option-they do funfares from £2!!! They do have a great price on the new model and its the 115 model- All New Focus - Ford Focus Zetec Climate Ford Focus Zetec Climate 1.

Thats a promising start, i once managed 38 mpg max out of my old car with a motorway trip.

I'm engaged now, I think i've just about forgotten the feeling already haha! :D Least children are planned at least 8 years away hence the fact i have gone for three doors again :lol:

Probably true regarding performance- I was happy to get the order the new 1.6 vct after my crash due to the fact i managed 325 miles from a tank max on average. With fuel costs hoping new car will reach 400 from a tank driving mostly on the motorway? Take it the new model has kept the 55 sized tank?
