Its ok to protect the paint from stone chips but when you come to fitting it or taking it off you have to worry about what the inner fleece of the bra has done to the paint i.e scratches scuffs ect also if you leave vit on for too long i would think the paint fade would be very obvious?

Hi Vini, Assuming you have a Mk2 < as your profile shows a Mk1.5 if you get a new key cut it will only operate the locks yes so you could use it for just unlocking the car.

lol yeah thats why i started out on my own and left the dealers couldnt beleive how much they charge for an hours work :? glad i was able to help out fella :wink:

just say its had a new Audio unit and it needs configuring fella the guy should know what your talking about hopefully? :lol: :wink:

Right just checked and there isnt any TSB for COnfig and in the Diagnosis and Testing manual for the Audio unit all it says for Config Error showing on screen is Refer to IDS which will most probably what the dealer will do anyway as it will have a foult code showing that the VIN is incorrect for the Audio unit in comparison to the Vehicle's Vin which is programmed in to the other modules of the vehicle.

there isnt actually a aervice part replacement number as suce but if i cant find a TSB then there will possibly be a repair procedure for replacing the unit it self which asks the dealer to configure with IDS half way through replacement

you need to configure this when you change the unit i take it youv'e put this in recently? it needs to be configured using IDS the diagnostic computer the Ford dealer has im not too sure if its a TSB as it needs to be done when replacing with a service part but i will check for ya :wink:

in answer to your question matey it wont and its an expensive and tasking job im afraid as you will need to flash the PCM to accept CC then also you will need the correct CC module as the car talks CAN Bus it will be a fun job :wink: also IIRC Looms will need changing it would have been cheaper to order the car with CC thern retrofitting one

the wiring is just a live and earth from the interior light fella so just cut the plug off and then it can be rewired very easy :wink:

It is common that if the Turbo has broken up then metal fragments will block the oilways but more to the point will be in the oil lubricating your engine which the metal fragments will grind and wear away the internals like Bearings and also will score the Cylinder Bores. If you have the exact same engine for your car like same age of vehicle it came out of you can just use the origional ECU. If you use the other ECU then it will need the Keys programmed into the ECU and the Cluster which could cost a few bob :wink:

this most defo wont work straight off fella as its not connected directly to the turbo it runs through the PCM which will give you loads of fun wiring it up. Also i think it goes through the Cluster first before it reaches the PCM which is run on the CAN Bus and dont even try and do any wiring with that as you will find that your car will not work at all afterwards fella :wink: :?

Make sure they are the Ford ones fella and not aftermarket ones. Most dealers seem to have a deal going with local companies that will come to their dealers and fit random aftermarket sensors for half/ a third of the price Ford want for a kit :wink:

Surely you need to wire up the audible to a speak in the car. Nope thats why you connect the wiring to the reverse light. When the light comes on it powers up the sensor module which makes the audible warning come on :wink:

the hardest thing when fitting is cutting the holes evenly and the same distance to each other. but the only wiring needed is to connect up to the Reverse light in the boot :wink:

It all depends what Calibration your car is on fella you wont know that unless the IDS is plugged in. :wink:

Robertminchin, By the looks of it there shouldnt be any Floor damage its just crumpled the nearside crash pillar and probably destroyed the PCM with it but its not gone far back enough to have caused floor damage. Ive seen much worse then whats happened here before i.e no front end left and the floors is still in tact. :wink:

HI MATE FIRST OFF YOU DONT NEED TO HAVE CAPITALS ON TO POST :lol: :wink: Second the cluster has Perspects rather then Glass and they are not sold seperately but it should be easy to change all you need to do is seperate the rear of the cluster from the front and clip the new one on :wink:

Ahh mate it looks like a costly one as well with possibly Airbags and dash replacement as well hope your getting the job for free now?

NOOOOOOOO :shock: Ahh mate i feel soo sorry for ya which Dealer was it? I take it its one in Kent?

mate im sorry to hear you are having problems :cry: Right lets get to trying to fix your car :D 1. Theres obviously something draining the battery so first things first have you left and lights on in the car i.e boot courtesy light? 2. What style Radio is in the car Sony of Blaupunkt? as theres were issues with one of them draining the battery 3. dont worry too much about the EPB warning coming on just yet fella as when the battery starts to go flat then it will throw spurious faults. And Breath :lol:

Good o fella glad it was easy :wink:

tell me something thats new but if its not done properly its your kids life at stake if it all goes wrong. Your choice of course though matey :wink:

If anything we shouldbe allowed on the Volvo forums as the emgine and chassis platform they have designed were out long before we got our hands on it. no Citroen/ Fiat engines in Fords mate i would like to know where you got your info from though fella :wink:

Congrats fella hope you cope well with zero sleep :lol: Now im not too sure about the manufacturers of the seats but if your C-max has a small tag on the back seat saying ISOFIX than you are able to just connect the ISO seats but Ford also sell a kit you can fit which makes you ISO ready PM Tezza for info as hes the parts dude on here :wink: Good luck fella

The C214 'C-max' is and will stay in the Focus family as its is the same platform as the C307 MK2 focus so you dont need to worry there my friends :wink: its all good and anyway the SMT cant remove something that was origionally a Focus platform if Ford did decide to remove it from the Foci family :D
