  3. Guys I had to renew my insurance back in feb & I found that www.bell.co.uk ( part of elephant for young drivers) was by far the cheapest.
  4. Hi guys found a direct replacement K&N for the MKII 1.4,1.6 & 2.0 its £29.99 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-N-Air-Filter-Fo ... dZViewItem What is your views on replacement filters, Normaly I have used induction kits on all my other motors and truth be told never found them to make much of real improvement. It seems that your motor is pulling better, but is it just the induction roar fooling you?? Will be interested to here your views!!
  5. I have noticed the same problem with the hand brake, it's really poor. It is highlighted even more as I currently have a fiesta ( focus in body shop) which hand brake is very very good. Was planning to metion this when car goes in for its first service this week.
  6. Sent my 3 dr focus zetec (red) into my local ford body shop on thursday, to have door rubs colour coded, front fog lights, tailgate handle, Ms design kit fitted. Car was to be ready today at 5pm. 4pm called with a problem, They have lost my spoiler!!!! They took it of to fit the MS design one over it, and its missing!!! How does a 3 foot spolier go missing?? I think if i checked the spoliers of the red focus, owned by staff from my dealership I would find it. So I have to put up with a fiesta all weekend, with no arm rest (really miss & CD controls)
  7. ****Mate I would not recommend having the windscreen replaced.********** Ford do not do any glass replacement. Done by Auto Glass. I have used these guys twice. Both times complete mess. 1st My fiesta had its window broken, They replaced but is had bad marks. Second was ok however they broke the trim and it rattled for the next two years. My new focus had a damaged rear screen, heated elements did not work. They replaced. To cut a long story short I have had 3 in. My rear trim rattles like mad (really really bad). Ford will not fix as it's a auto glass problem. Auto glass don't give a S*
  8. So Has Any One fitted a sony unit with out having to go to the dealers? He was me hoping it was a striaght forward swap, But I quess with Ford nothing is simple. Has any one fitted or removed the cd player from the new fiesta, Now that is one hell of a job. Fitting is a complete pain (old car) . Talking of fiesta's I have one today. My focus is in the body shop getting the old MS Design kits fitted, along with door rubs, tail gate handle & fog lights colour coded. I used to like the fiesta, but trust getting back into one and made me notice just how good the focus is. One point the 1
  9. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WENT WHEN WRONG HERE, AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A SONY UNIT AND WOULD LIKE A STARIGHT FORWARD SWAP OVER
  10. Lads I have a March 100BHP zetec. I am happy with the power however mine was a ex demo car so I did not get the choice. However if I was buy it new I would def have when for the 115BHP Climate. Well truth be told for the sake of another few grand, an ST.
  11. Hi guys, any of you lot upgrading or selling your ford focus sony cd player. Been trying to get on on ebay for ages, However with work have to travel lots and always end up missing out. Also most people on ebay, can not seem to tell the different between a focus & a mondeo. thanks lads
  12. Come on lads :lol: . You need to give your motor a bit more TLC than that. Mine gets washed every 3 - 4 days and a good steam clean inside every 2 weeks. Drop of wax every two weeks also. Lads if you want any cleaning tips am your man. I must have every type of wax, polish and sealent. tyre gel, glass cleaner. Saying that just got the new auto glym life shine kit (protects paint for 10 years) however not had enought time to apply, have to buff paint first.
  13. lads how about this aux heater thing that your model has would it not be it coming on.
  14. thanks knocker1. You hit the nail on the head. Took my motor back to the same spot and remote locking would not work. had a good look around and found the house next door had a huge cb radio mast. This must be the problem. I would never had though of that. cheers again
  15. sorry guys hit this link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Focus-ST-Mudflaps ... dZViewItem
  16. Found this on ebay. www.performancecreations.co.uk They have ST Logo Mudflaps which will fit the st & Msdesign Kitted motors. They are £39.95 & £8.00 P&P. Come with crome & red or blue st logos.
  17. Hi guys, need a little advice. Have mar 2005 focus zetec. The other day I came out of work and my car opened fine. I drove home & my remote locking would not work at all. It stayed like this until I went and fitted a new a battery that night. Worked ok, which is funny as the owners book states when the battery is low the distance will start to shorten & A warning comes up in the message center. Neither happened. Next day after work the remote did not work again. Had to open manualy. Then it started to work when i got home & has done since 3 days. The only thing I noticed was rain
  18. its a good few pages back so some of you well not be aware, but this is about the footwell lights found in the top ghia model. In the ghia there is footwell lights, but it seems the fitting are already in most cars, only ford just does not put the blubs in. After reading the link i had a look and my 2005 zetec (non Climate) has the holders a trip to halford & a set of 501lb (lazer blue£3.99) can use 501n (£1.99) motor now has foot well lights. great tip just i only found the link one night i was very bored and when back 7/8 pages. Makes a hell of a diff. simple push fit job. look back fo
  19. yes the very last line is wavy. what ever you do do not get the rear screen replaced. i have had four (only Problem) and problems ever since. When i purhase my car i noticed two of the elements had breaks and did not work. so i when to my dealership who arranged for autoglass to replace it, with a brand new unit. (i really wish i just left it alone) well it had really bad marks at the bottom, first time i use the rear wiper the whole thing flew off( 6 week wait). another new screen, also damaged & 3rd as well. They bottom line is the trim has to be removed to fit the window and it now ratt
  20. I am 99% sure you can get white strips on the orange st. This statement was made in last months fast ford mag, who when on to say most orange do not have them, however it is an option & they seen one & liked them.
  21. You know your self your dealer will cut your part x value, by a large & unfair amount. Why not try a few good non ford body shops in your area & compare with what your dealership will charge to repair. You will have to buy the wing mirror of ford. However the new focus wing mirrors can be ordered in your colour. They do not need colour coded. Read about this new method ford have started on mirrors & bumbers. When waiting in my own dealership for a quote for the add on spoiler. armed with these quotes, take a drive to another ford dealership & get a part ex value. Then you
  22. hi mate, i got a 3dr 3/2005 red 100bhp zetec (1075 miles) from my dealer. cost £10295 ex demo. Yes i would have liked the 115 bhp unit. but to tell you the trust the 100bhp is fine. really it is ok. like you i only wanted a 3 door and when to buy a 1.8tdci mk1 but for the sake of £295 i got a used mk 2 (talked dealer into fully 3 years warranty & 2 Years free servicing, mud flaps mats & colour coded spoiler) Now yes it is not super fast, my last car was a rover tomcat coupe 2.2 petrol turbo 216 bhp so yes compared it is slow. but a damn site better than my per car which was a new sh
