As I mentioned earlier......take away the plastic trim, wind-up windows, etc....revert to the basic kit once usually associated with L/Rovers, and things get a bit better..not a lot, but a bit better.
...
now getting a popping noise in airbox , seems to happen when engine is warm n on tick over
but when i take off the little black pipe in the middle of intake manifold it seems to go , put back on n it comes back
clean egr valve
clean idle control valve
and throttle housing
and she seems to have a slight misfire
any help would be greatful Read more
Just because you have cleaned them it does not make them ok sounds like a faulty EGR valve but thats just a guess.
It's hard to imagine a more appalling incident and even more difficult to understand the arrogance of the purported killers .
Can there be any justification of their actions ?
The one thing that amazes me is that there has never been a violent reaction from the general population ,even after 7 7 . And this latest incident ,will there be a backlash ?
Would it resolve anything or make the problem worse . Read more
"...you're accusing me on being a traitor to my race..."
What on earth is this about, Bromp? What is this concept?...
On Sunday 12/05 I bought the car above. Drove home 250 miles away. On Monday found a knocking/rumbling noise from the front (at low speed) asked by the dealer to take it to garage couldn't find the fault. On Thursday there's all oil over my drive way. Dealer says take it to a garage and let them know.
Inspected Monday gearbox seal gone, gearbox under tray missing. Dealer asked for it to be returned by recovery which I went with him and returned with courtesy car. Now I've lost confidence in the car. they are repairing replacing with recon gearbox, but I don't want it back.
So Ive had the car less then two weeks - Do I have the right to ask for a refund? I purchased using part/x on mine, cash and credit card payment.
Thanks Read more
You did not expect the car very well or take any notice when you test drove it you can hardly hide an oil leal or noises or did these not occur until later in which case how would the dealer know .You still have not explained the missing shims if these are the anti squeal shims then with certain pads these are not required. and what has 29years got to do with it my wife has had cars for 33years but still has problems remembering where to put the fuel
.I hope you have a succesful outcome to your problem the dealer seems to be doing his utmost I would wait and see how the car turns out after the work has been done.
Anyone know who made the OE discs for this model so that I can steer clear of them?So many to choose from on ebay,all say made to OE standard....which in this case is not confidence inspiring!
Anyone had good mileage from a particular brand?... Read more
still nothing from the OP?
I've had issues with squeaky/screechy noises from the rear prop shaft, and have had a new universal joint fitted, which has partially fixed the problem. However, there is still a squeaking/squealing noise after about 15 minutes driving/over 50 MPH.
I've been advised to change the rear differential oil, but I am completely and utterly un-mechanically minded/skilled, and really don't know how to do this/where to start!... Read more
You need to find out if there is an actual drain plug if there is find out what type of oil and how much is required.I very much doubt if changing the oil will cure your problem but its worth a try.
Driving to see a friend in Liverpool early hours tuesday morning (Around 1.30am) on the M6 northbound between junctions 18 - 19 i was involved in an accident.
Minutes before a lorry had blown a tyre, shredding its FULL tyre across the motorway.
In this section of motorway there is no lighting other than cats eyes on the lanes, in the distance i saw a police car and flashing lights, i guessed something was wrong on the hard shoulder but decreased my speed a little, i then noticed a man with a flashing torch, in this case i realised something was wrong, before i had time to hit the break i had hit the full lorry tyre head on causing my front wheels to come off the ground and me to lose all streering. Through some form of fate or luck i ended safely in the hard shoulder next to 5-6 other cars which had done the same or at least clipped the tyre.
The car has ripped my radiator off, done some other engine damage, ripped my bumper off and i fear it has done damger underneith the car too where it has gotten wedged.
I have tried to claim through the lorry drivers insurance because its clerly not my fault in the slightest and they say nothing can be done as its just a blown tyre / act of god. Now i am a lot of money down after getting my car towed, taxis to liverpool, and being stranded in liverpool for a few days. im sure there is someone to blame to claim from.
I am third party fire and theft so i cant claim on my own, but i wouldnt want to anyway as i know its not my fault, and it wouldnt of happened had that lorry not been there.... Read more
Best slow down a bit and keep a look out for unforeseen hazards then.
Err........Black rubber, on a black surface, on an unlit road. I'd like to see you miss this kind of debris with those conditions and possibly in heavy rain. Even if you had prior knowledge it was in the road ahead. Unless you creep along mimsing just in case....
Hi I have a v reg ford focus. I think it has a fuel leak as the petrol warning light is always on even after I've put petrol in. However lately it has developed another problem whereby it cuts out at low revs, and sometimes the speedometer doesn't work and ill be driving along but it's at zero. when first started in morning it starts up easily but seems to struggle to move away as if the petrol isn't getting through.
I know it can't be diagnosed on a forum but any idea as to what it roughly could be and likely costs? I'm going to take it to a garage but just wanted a heads up.
Thanks

There was a "deal" whereby you could get the instrument cluster on a Focus replaced for a fixed fee, I think it was £100.
Might be worth looking back through the "BBC Watchdog" website for more info, or just ask your Ford Main Dealer....
Had total steering and brake failure on tight corner, went though showroom forecourt missing two rows of cars, out of petrol forecourt the wrong way ,hit car coming from left on a main road. Could be a right-off, Is this how you get rid of merivas. Read more
So some part of the steering system broke, and both of the dual circuit braking systems failed at the same time?
I want to have this car because this is the best car that I used before. I will buy it even it was used because I know that it was always in good condition on the engine every time you used it.
