the brake light on the inside of the car on the rear windscreen has come loose and is dangling from its wires, still working.
Is it a legal requirement to have a working rear tail light, or can i just take it off. I have tried previously to stick it back on with superglue, but it only lasted a few months.
If i could take it off, it would make things a lot easier.

I would say that is quite right, the majority of cars don't have them and they pass the MOT.
After a motorway run I could smell coolant from front of car and an acrid smell from the top hose. There are no obvious leaks, and engine oil is in a clean state. The car has done 41k.
Appreciate any informed suggestions. The car is still under warranty and is going in to the main dealer soon. Cheers,

Thank you for your replies. I guess there must be a coolant leak, though the coolant level appears constant. I'll let the main dealer sort it. The top radiator hose definitely smells burnt, and the smell comes off on to the fingers. Glaikit It's nice that you are still around.
Turn fan on full after 1 minute fan slows and grinds to a halt,smell burning smell.any ideas?

I would suggest drop the fan motor out of the heater casing and check for any debris stuck in the fan blades and also make sure the motor rotates smoothly.Access to motor from passenger footwell,behind glovebox.May be an idea to check pollen/cabin filter for restricted air flow.hth
Hi
I've though about it before and wondered why some car manufactures do not allow this option or better still, why it's not made law.
I refer to rally car style harness seat belts adapted to fit standard cars.
Would I right in assuming that other than drivers feeling uncomfortable initially just like the standard seat belt law, a harness belt may massively reduce injuries to drivers and passengers??
Thanks in advance
ps - is there an adapter available to fit over standard belt to make into a harness type belt?

The driver didn't happen to be called John did he?

Hi, I have a Ford Focus 1.8 diesel estate. Recently it has developed a prolem with the fuel guage. When it gets to just over quarter tank, next time you turn the ignition on the fuel guage goes to full then each time after that progresively goes down. Anybody got any clues?? Read more
I have a 53 plate 2 litre mondeo LX with 40k miles on the clock which is a little thirsty as I dont do alot of miles but my friend has offered me his Focus and I am tempted.
The focus is as follows
Ford Focus 1.6 Petrol
Black 'Zetec' Model
53 (2004) Reg
11 Months MOT
93,000 miles on clock
This is what I have had done to it
Replacement Suspension Links £150 - these are the struts on the suspension. They had started rattling at the back so had them all changed
Replacement gas struts for tail gate
Water Pump broke - fixed under warranty
He wants £2200 for it.
What do you think I will get for mine and is £2200 fair price? Read more
