[b][i][size=4]Received these set of custom Aluminium heater controls this morning,

Their high quality for the low cost you can purchase them for,
I found them a great solution to the stock (Ford) set as the rubber finish on the stock ones catch dust very easily and feel sticky after being polished,

I've used a dash board wipe and a set of wide pliers to remove the existing controls, I recommend using the wide pliers rather than the normal as this set will have a flush grip on the knob your removing compared to the normal pliers which will grip the knob at an angle increasing the chances of damaging the part.

Take a dash board wipe and fold it over until you have a pad around an inch square,

Place it over the control knob,

Grip the pliers over it then squeeze and pull gently. Ensuring not to pull left or right, just straight as this could crack the surround, or worse you could end up having half the control stuck in the casing.

As you can see in the fifth and sixth picture below I thought I had gotten some of the control knob stuck in the casing, but thankfully I didn't the clear plastic saw in the pictures is the distributer lens for the bulbs inside the control unit.[/size][/i][/b]

[font=Calibri][size=3][b][i][font=Arial][size=4]I highly recommend this item to any focus owner, The build quality is really worth £30 their proper aluminium the only plastic part is the black disc on the front and the clear ABS plastic lens inside to distribute the light.

They are available in a range of grip colours, I personally went for the black grips,
Although I think they just spray the aluminium a different colour,
let me know your thoughts on these please.

I have actually had every single focus Mk they have done and loved them all ! Last year I was driving a Fiesta Zetec S and loved it but dealer offered good price so had to snap his hand off ! The creativity of some people you do have to admire and those dials are super !

Thank mate,
its crazy to think that these are selling for less than £5.00 in china but the supplier wont sell us anything smaller than 30 sets per order
although im happy to have payed the £30 odd pounds to get them from a local seller as there well worth every penny.

Ordered a set from him off ebay for my Focus, £25 including free P&P. They come from China and take 14 days but you get a shipping reference which you can put into the courier website to see progress.

The guy is really helpful and emailed me very soon after with all the details etc.

A mate of mine has told me he will be selling these on e-bay in the coming weeks for £20.00 + £7.31 first class tracked postage from Ireland to the uk arriving at your door in 3 days rather than 3 weeks from china

he says he will also be stocking other custom items for the focus,

he's going to e-mail me a link once he is stocked and selling so ill post the link on the guide here for other to view if interested,

personaly i think its worth paying the extra £2.31 as they will arrive in at your door in 3 days supplied with a tracking number on dispatch to the buyer

Other custom items?

Can't wait!

Me too

JohnH
I know you have changed the Leds in your heater control , quick question , is there a center LED so you could say have that one colour and the outside ones different, So for instance actual knobs glow red and outside numbers pictures blue etc or is it just the set positions. Or perhaps piggy back one Led as a different colour and insert it into the new round knob.

That's good news China seller is refusing to ship to Malta (Europe) for me

update: i was asked for 29gbp shipping for delivery to Malta (Europe). Normally, it's free shipping from china or same prices as the uk.

Any other site selling these?

Cheers!
