• Ford Focus 1.6 Fuel Consumption 7 Nov 2010 (Forum)
  I have had a 1.6 petrol Ford Focus since September (brand new). I find the fuel consumption fairly heavy on this car: It's just reached 5000 miles and it's still only returning just under 30 mpg at best. It's got Leather heated seats and Air con etc: But even if it's driven gently with all of the electric gooodies switched off, it's still quite thirsty!

• 1998 Scenic dti - Misting Up 21 Jan 2004 (Forum)
  The wife's Scenic has started to mist up badly on recent mornings. Turns out the passenger footwell is very damp (recurring). I've seen threads relating to other cars with similar problems so have checked some basics...it's not losing water, the heating is fine (so I assume not a matrix leak) so I'm assuming a leaking vent or blocked drainplug. Before I start ripping carpets out has anyone come across this in a Scenic or are there some specific places to look for a leak/blockage?

  help please I have a four channel head unit, 4 three way speakers (one in each corner) and 2 tweeters (L and R at front). The speakers are already fitted in the car and the head unit is currently in my old car (which only had 4 speakers). How do I connect this into my new car? I have been advised to connect the two front channels to a tweeter and a 3 way unit each in parallel but I have also read that this could lead to blown final stage transistors.
