any seat can be made fit if your any good with a grinder and a welder the advantage of using geniune ford stuff is the air bags should be compatable but it would most likely have to modified

i fitted 19's to my 1.8tdci and killed it, it was slow and the miles per gallon also dropped drastically......

get some touch up pens, both black and a clear, fill the scratch in with black and let it dry, then top it off with some clear, once all is dry and hard get some 2000 wet sand paper and flatten it down, dont go mad, just enough to level out the surface, after this it will be all cloudy and hazy. get a rotor or an orbital posiher and using some compound buff the tailgate and get it back to a nice shine, finish off with some wax and no one will be any the wiser,

why dont you try adding some dynamat or sound deadning to the boot floor to try and stop the vibrations....

the condenser in the car needs to be cleaned, thats why it smells, ford have a process for doing this but im not sure if its under warrenty or not. you could always go in and conplain about it and see what they do but i know for the mk1 and 1.5 models ford required the car for 4 or so hours to run it completely.. also there is no point re gasing the system unless the aircon isnt working.... the smell isnt caused by the lack of gas????

group buy!!!!

the 20 inch st rims were made initially by ford racing in the usa. the ones on ebay are copies.

well i think your mad in the head cutting in to a loom on the assumption that both are the same!! i would suggest, if you havent already, get the wiring diagrams for both the ST and your TITANIUM. i had them for my MP3 and they were invaluable. you can buy the TIS on ebay. why not look and see if the gauges can be wired up the same as aftermarket gauges would be. if they cant why not butcher the pod and fit aftermarket gauges to it? or leave it to an autospark.

toyos are totally usless in the wet as the compound doesn't heat up enough apparently, :roll: if you can go for dunlops or uniroyals they arent too bad but there will always be a trade off between traction and economy. and dont be so hard on the nankangs, i had the ultra version on my 1.8tdci and i had no problems with them at all good grip and handling.

i'll come over if you let me camp out on your lawn!!!!

sorry to nit pic but its 5 bolts and two clips.first thing you should do is remove the brake light and disconnect the wire, you should pop off the clips at either side of the spoiler where it meets the glass, then open the boot and remove the trim panel thats at the top of the window. then remove the five bolts the whole way across. my old black part actually split in two at this point when i tried to pull it off due to the way it was clipped and the manor in which it was pulled. once its off you just disconnect the washer pipe and completely remove the old spoiler. fitting the new one was a b

i think the problem is ford wont give them permission to make a manual!!!

anyone one want one of these? you pay the postage and i'll send it in your direction. it was in my focus for nearly a year, but its as good as new and better yet it almost free. i hate throwing stuff in the bin. so gimmie a shout.

after 11 months of not being quite satisfied with my 1.8TDCi for one reason or another i finally decided to get rid of it and bought a very nice seat leon fr. it reminds me of my old mp3 focus to be honest good car all over and i will not miss my badly built noisy and underperfoming focus one bit.

the one thing about the legends ( which i have ) is they look very small from a distance. i have 19's on mine and they look like 17s from a distance.

st sides are available on the european car parts site, but ford have no idea about the 5 door because they dont show up on there system, best bet if you have a friend who has a five door st bring there chassie number to the dealer and they should find it then.

got all sorted out today, went round the houses looking a second hand caliper which no one had, then decided to call ford to see how much a new one would be,,,, a bargain at £196 inc. vat. :shock: so put more time in on the phones and found out a c-max caliper is the same as my 06 focus.. so done the rounds looking one of them and got one down the road for £50 got it home fitted it got a mechanic friend over to bleed the brakes with me and all is good again in camp!! i will say however i enquired about the part using parts gateway and 247 spares, got no result from 247 but gateway found

i think the problem is the parts guys are too far removed from whats actually for sale,

i found that much out so far fella, the problem now is im not sure if i need a fancy tool to cycle though the valves on the abs so i can bleed the brakes out. will probably leave it in to a garage if i cant sort it out.

i am putting the st rear bumper on my car but instead of getting a dual exhaust i'm going to have the exhaust holes filled in and smoothed out, just to make it a little bit different. oh and i dont know about your ford dealer but mine said i cant get 5 door st skirts as the st isnt available in 5 dr... :P

was changing the pads on my motor tonight and made a big whoopsie, the rear are the screw in type and i screwed it the wrong way.... piston popped out of the caliper and brake blood spilled everywhere.. so when i was putting it all back together i tore the rubber boot to keep the dirt out so i know i need a new or second hand caliper. my problem is now, as im a driveway mechanic who obviously isnt any good, when i'm bleeding the brakes do i need to have the car running or switched off. i understand how to bleed them but its the only thing i'm not sure on! so any help is welcome, laughing an

i would say at 1200 quid its still cheap, the front seats alone would knock you a grand!

mine came with the washer lying in the bottom of the box but it wasnt too hard to sort, defo the best looking of all the spoilers except or course the wrc but hey!

] came back from the bodyshop today and put it on in about 5 minutes i like the look of it think it sets the car off nicely
