Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 08 1.6 petrol service 23 Mar 2009 (Forum)
hi s.i.l. has just purchased a 1.6 ford focus but not yet picked up. it is just over 12 months old (8/3/08 first reg) and done just over 9000 miles. i told her it is due a sevice, she contacted the seller (wll known car supermarket) who told her that it will need a service, but they would not do it and that she will have to have it done at a ford or vat reg garage. so to keep the warranty it needs doing. as the car is now over 12 months old, does anyone know if or what is the grace period on the service intervals thanks -

Thinking of ending love affair (with Boxster) 20 Nov 2007 (Forum)
The clutch & slave cylinder are going to need doing in the next 10 days or so. I'm wondering how many more big bills I'm going to have. I love the image of the car & the way it drives etc but I'm wondering (semi-seriously this time) whether I should quickly part-ex it for an Audi TT 225 (convertible if poss)/ A3 3.2 / Nissan 350z (import) at about 4-5 years old with 40k-60k miles on - question is, will these be more in line with my needs for paranoia-free reliable motoring, or is any performance car at 5 years old likely to throw up expensive issues? -
A sad day - Primera eGT RIP 5 Jan 2007 (Forum)
It needed new brake pipes and a little welding to pass its MOT. I know you shouldn't get sentimental about old cars but I really did love that Primera and its engine was still like new even after 120k. Just feeling that a good car should still be around. -
Golf Brake Discs (again) 15 Dec 2006 (Forum)
Bearing in mind that the discs have about 75% usable area do they warrent a fail? If they are a fail can I draw any conclusions about the quality of the VW discs. The car is 5 years old and has done 37k.
