• ford focus mk1 1600 - low /poor idle ONLY when a/c is on 22 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  got a problem thats getting on my wits now  1600 ford focus mk1 , idles like you would expect apart from when the a/c is on it is say 50 revs too slow and the car starts to shake and shudder ive replaced idle valve , vac pipe , pcv valve , cleaned the throttle body , reset the ecu by disconecting it , and had it into to ford for them to reset the keep alive memory(kam) on thier suggestion never had any codes or warning lights ive also noted if you idle the car then turn the a/c on it will sit and idle smooth until you rev the car again , then the revs will dip way to low and the isv im guessing catches it and stops it stalling but then back to a low unhappy idle the idle is happy with all other elecs like the heated screens /headlamps full on etc         
• Ford Orion audio joystick and other 80s oddities... 7 Oct 2017 (Forum)
  Thank you SO much, Argos and Tandy, for making that all so affordable to so many people 30 odd years ago! So what ever became of... CB radios? Clip-on louvres on the rear windows (mostly on Ford Capris)? Electric aerials? Beaded seat covers? Air horns that played Dixie? Green "Wayne and Mandy" sun strips on the top of the screen? The venerable Krooklok? And what else do we miss from the 80s?
