They look like the centre caps that my mk5 has granted different alloys if so the centre caps are 10 euro from a vw dealer each. As I've had to replace two. So they are not too expensive and the car certainly looks better with all four. Other than that looks like a clean mk4 nice colour too
That's mighty fine information there. I may get the 4, as the remaining ones have scratches on them and what not.0 -

Traction light and yellow Handbrake light, which shouldn't be on
99% sure this is caused by my faulty Brake light switch which I have just been too lazy to fit :pac:0 -

I think a faulty brake light switch can cause the handbrake light to come on anyway on most cars. Not sure on the traction control light but maybe it does come on I would have thought abs would be the more likely one to come on though as that normally shuts down if there is any fault with the braking system at all.0 -

If they are ford alloys then you get the replacement centre caps in a ford main dealer (possibly online either) you definitely won't get them in halfords or micksgarage as they don't sell OE parts.
Oh I don't care what kinda caps they are. Surely its a one size fits all affair?
I don't care if there's a silly aftermarket name on them or theyre plain or whatever the case may be. I don't really need 'ford' written on them.0 -

If you're in no rush, eBay is your friend!0 -

Ah ok sorry I thought you wanted exact replacements. You may be able to get exact ones online of a scrap mk1 on eBay etc. just check your diameter as its not a one size fits all in that case a golf might have a different diameter to a focus mk1 which may be different too a focus mk2. Maybe halfords/ micksgarage would have generic plain black ones.0 -

I've the same warning lights showing for the last.... 5 months or so :pac: TBH it's more fun to drive with no TC
I'm betting mine is one of the ABS / wheel speed sensors that's faulty. Particularly because the lights go out when it's below zero Celcius.0 -

Yep, service indicator, which I will not be following as it's far too long, I'll be servicing it every 6K miles.challengemaster wrote: »The joys of having a BMW eh? I've the same warning lights showing for the last.... 5 months or so :pac: TBH it's more fun to drive with no TC

Mine must be to do with the BLS as it's coming up as Brake/Gas Interference on INPA, the car before these lights come on or during will deactivate the Cruise and sometimes cause the car to brake itself, hopefully the switch will solve it!0 -

Hmm... INPA, now that sounds like a plan.
Well worth it, one of the lads on BMWHaus does it for all the Cork lads, some man!0 -

Still have them thrown in the shed, they're not in good condition now, but I'll check to see if any have centre caps, and if they do you can have them. Don't hold me to it, but it's 50/50 if they have them.
Did that not drive you mad? (having an odd wheel)? My OCD would kill me!
But honestly, don't worry about it. I'd be as happy with generic silver ones or such. It won't be the end of the world if there's a few Ford logos missing (don't get me wrong, it'd be nice to have them, but I won't lose sleep over them).
I really do appreciate the offer though 0 -

I actually decided against touching the Megane.
I took a look under it and it has a skid plate or sump guard or whatever you want to call it, and it looks like it'd be a pain in the hole to get it off without the use of a proper ramp. So I'll leave it for a mechanic to do.
I have a fair few of those rubber mats you see around the place. They're like jigsaw pieces and about an inch thick. I plan to drive the front of the Focus up onto a few of these to raise it up enough to get under it.
It worked with the Rav4, but the engine in the Rav was probably a bit higher up than the Ford, so seen as I'm not using and "proper" equipment, I think I've my work cut out for me.
... Still.. it'll be an adventure. 0 -
