I did try and drive it with it like that one day, just headed down the lane with it,
Got about 5 yards and thought I was going to die, it starts solid, and then starts hopping like mad, not a fun experience, was convinced the top mounts were going to go straight through the chassis :eek:0 -
No sun strip!!!!!! :P:P
You're a mad b@stard alright, but we love you really
:D
There's a part of the windscreen just above the rearview mirror where the sun can shine directly into my eyes.... The sunshades, they do nothing! :eek: Which is where a practical use for a strip comes in (and not for looks..... Ok for looks too :pac:)
Well at least I'm somewhat useful so!You need hydro, :cool:

New external temperature sensor ordered for the focus no harm I'm sick of looking at 30-40 degree c on the display. Wheel nut replacements on the way too can't wait to see the back off them lock nuts. Previous owner made sh!t of all of them he must of put them on with an air gun. Anyway I think I'm safe enough in assuming no one is going to rob ford 16inch alloys. Seems to be all coming together now

I bought it expecting to hate it,
But i really like it
, they're very likeable, some amount of people stop and say "jaysus theyre a great yoke them" :pac:
And what can i say about the comfort.....
Now I'm looking up Xantias again.... I'm trying to get rid of cars here :pac:
They are quite charming indeed, I can forgive it's awkwardness in places 0 -

PPPPSSSSSTTT Mine will be on the market in a few weeks
Charming, but they're not without their frenchness,
Hard not to love the old Pug/Citroen rev counter dance :pac:
I have nothing but disdain for the lack of cupholders though,
What awkwardness do you reckon?0 -

Ah, the rev dance Mine gets a heart attack instead :pac:
I have lack of cupholders too alas I'll be sourcing a centre console from a D( from the yard that will sort that!
Niggly stuff like taking off the backbox, that was rather fiddly... If you want to test the dexterity in your fingers try changing a turbo in one..... 0 -
I think your wheel would be a bit more attractive to a thief than mine :pac: I know the mechanic struggled to get them off. So he just left them all barly tight so I can get them off to replace them. He said if I had got a flat there would not have been a hope of me being able to get them off. So I don't need that hassle.
You would be suprised man my aunt has Facelift ST genuine alloys on her 1.6 focus saloon 07 and they look nicer than mine as standard more angular etc

One of the lads has a D8 and the rev counter has a mind of its own, until you sink the boot and it tells you (within a few hundred rpm) what it's at :pac: well over 220k on it too, still runs pretty sweet.
Luckily enough, most of whats on xanti currently doesn't need to be taken off it :pac:0 -

When I lift off, revs go straight to zero :pac: it's the sensor, it worked properly with the other engine
Pump is knackered so sometimes gets stuck fully advanced at tickover, quite a noticeable lope from it :cool:
My old 406 was a right ball of sh*te. To give you an example.....

Can someone confirm something for me on a Ford Ka...
Reservoir on the drivers side behind the power steering fluid is Coolant, right?
Also does anyone know what kind of ratio/coolant I should be using to top it up, I imagine it will need a complete replacement after the NCT, it's not a healthy colour to begin with.0 -
