Hello again

Once again i have my weekend and yet what am i doing im always down the ford parts place before it closes buying various bits and pieces well i serviced my mrs car today and jesus christ im glad i did we just changed the oil and filter the oil was black and really like treacle lol

she said i thought oil was ment to be black lol

Oil Filter £2.74

Sump Plug (Comes with washer)

£4.39

serive total £20.32

How about that hey for your first service not bad in all is it

there just seems to be a slight problem now the exhaust has started to make a popping noise like take it up to 3000 example and then it will drop revs but make a short popping sound my focus does this all the time but mrs fiesta does it now i dont worry about it as i know there is a stone in mine (DAMN KIDS) but any ideas what this could be u lot

its just that poping is usually caused by unburnt fuel in the exhaust if the air filter was dirty it could of been !Removed! up the mixture its just the first thing to check before further investigation

Well just had a look and mrs airbox was a little bit loose and the air filter was very dirty im feling a k&n stock filter for her car as the popping was only slight i notcied as wlel you know the sponge that little one in the air box they get dirty and cause problems so i turned hers round and it sounds ok for now

I was thinking that i mean lets say i charge you £30 to change oil air plugs cos remeber i have to get rid of the waste oil properly now due to heavy fines

Matt
