isnt the thing about xenons, is that they are illegal in the UK, but cars fitted with them at the factory pass european standards, which then overule british law?

just had a look at the ford web site, looks like they have dropped a lot of diseal engines 1.6 TDCi 90 PS Stage IV, 5 Speed Manual 1.6 TDCi 90 PS Stage V, 5 Speed Manual 1.6 TDCi 109 PS Stage IV, 5 Speed Manual 1.6 TDCi 109 PS Stage V, 5 Speed Manual 2.0 TDCi 136 PS Stage IV, 6 Speed Manual 2.0 TDCi 136 DPF Stage IV, 6 Powershift theres no 1.8 at all??? maybe theres a new one coming for the mk3, as the 1.8 is over 20 years old (the newer 1.6 and 2.0 are joint design with PSA (peoegot/citrion), shame ford never got the 2.5 diseal lump from volvo before flogging it to the chine

not all mk 2.5s are dpf's, mine isnt. theres 2 1.8 tdci engines, the 115ps without ant the 109ps? with

its done for fleet drivers, so they dont need to sit with full lights on when recoreding there milage.

i think someone has been playing / upgrading too much in forza motorsport and wants to move on to a real car!

ive got a 58 1.8 tdci zetec i had the same thing with my sat nav/radio/cd/bluetooth no audio, no voice control, no radio or CD, just the navigation though this time turning off the ignitian for 5 mins cured it, (turning it on and off at lights didnt)

i had these on my mk2 05 plate sport, according to john grose ford these were favourites with fleet hire companies i only found one place that did them (i live in norwich but work in ipswich, tried everyone) Ipswich Tyre & Exhaust Centre Tyres, Garage Services, Exhaust Systems Tel: 01473 807370| 37-41, Unit B7-B9, Holywells Road, Ipswich, IP3 0DL

anyone heard of the release or availibilty of a 2009 cd/sd card yet?

so we going to have to wait a few seconds before changing gears??? Damm no more J turns for me!

ive had a slight problem for a few weeks, i drive about 90miles aday on a single carrige a road, and i can feel a slight Kangaroo effect between 3-4k rpm also the other day i got the "cog with ! inside" light come on, the car would rev over 3k, so i pulled over turned off and restarted and it was fine again.

thats what i though, at the back of the arm rest base facing the rear seat passengersi also notice that the new premium centre console is now available, yay start button!!!!

can anyone recommend where to get uprated front break pads for a mk2 1.6vct, something a bint better then the standards?

how safe can they be, obviously they wont go through the same safty checks as mainstream manufactors, and what would the metal quality be like

55k on a 05

you can get the from me, they cost £1000 each, used £20's sent to my PO box, delivery in 3 - 5 years

apparently if you fit a button labled TB to the power socket one, you instantly get a TURBO BOOST button! the reason there is power, is that they are proberely terminated in the switch box, no way would putting a switch in get ESP, as there is a lot of extra junk that needs to be fitted to the drive system

nope it was fine until i took it into the workshop to have the idel problem looked at, driving home.... no power

just had my car in at abbeygate ford wymondham i had a small glitch in which the car didnt idel properley and would occasionally stall they reported no problems with the car, even though they could see the rev counter bouncing by upto 100 revs they claimed to have adjusted the cams and updated the ECU ive just driven it on the dual carriage way, and there is now NO Power at all, the car is sooo sluggish cant even go from 60 to 70 without going down to 3rd gear. the service dept closed as i left, so im stuck like this till monday at least im thinking they have either jammed the variable
