martyntdci Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 nothing is safe nowadays, you carnt leave nothing no where without it getting vandalized... i know ford do the touch up paint in brush form with lacquer for around 12 quid.... just use a very fine artist brush to touch up then buff accordingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 I may try that first... if I do a bad job I can always get it sprayed I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCiST Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 I normally use a paperclip... an old trick taught to me for stonechips... works wonders! a small brush on this may be better though! I'll have a look Monday and let you all know how I get on... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Well after a quiet few months, the car has had some exciting upgrades!! Service, MOT and Tax!! Its been a busy few months, and i'm thinking of changing her, to the new ST TDCi Focus. In other news, ive been through 3 air filters... all deformed... anyone have any ideas?? Too much boost? My stock air filter was crushed aswell, They are a tight fit and have a crappy tin beam support, Green Cotton Induction has a metal beam support instead much stronger and ensure the beam is top front facing, See my guide here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/36783-green-cotton-performance-induction-filter-fitting-guide/%22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC600 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Just read through your thread, car looks sweet! :) Think this lower grill would look good on yours http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291271023959?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee_82 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 oh that's a nice grill, don't need the fog surrounds though and for that money I can get the chrome trimmed titanium one.... this forum is a dangerous place if your trying to save penny's! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 oh hang on a sec, they sell that chrome one much cheaper too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 If I hadn't recently brought Zetec S grills, I would of brought one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 so another little update, The car has been treated to front and rear "S" Badges, one on the upper grille and one on the boot lid by the TDCI badge. In other exciting news, I binned off the standard filters, and bought a complete 57s kit, with modified airbox lid from K&N. You can hear the turbo when you release the throttle now, and it sounds a bit meatier when driving. I also bought some "S" emblem Lockwood Door Sills, they really finish the car off nicely, they weren't available for the mk2 in "S" guise, and they aren't yet on their website, but much asking got me a set first!! they are an awesome fit and look great. If you want a set, I'm sure they wont mind f you email them direct, and place your order that way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCiST Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Well, what can I say. Its been a pretty rough few months for my poor car. the ongoing electrical issue is just getting worse, I’m replacing headlights once every couple of weeks now! And still no one can find the issue. All metering and diagnostics come back as ok! A couple of month ago my gearbox selector broke up, and an expensive repair was made. the MOT advisory’s list is as long as the rush hour queues on the M25... and add that too needing 4 new tyres, and a suspected wheel bearing replacement... new shocks, New bushes, New trailing arms and a potential cv joint clunk when steering, and the engine malfunction message flashing randomly whenever it likes, and its time to wave goodbye to my Zetec S. i have been and looked at a new toy today... which I will post a new topic about when it’s collected next week! the Zetec S has done me proud, she’s just not worth spending the money to fix her anymore.

That's a shame buddy, it has certainly served you well over the years. Looking forward to seeing your new workhorse!

Hobgoblinpie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 That's a real shame, the Zetec S models are really nice. Electrical problems are such a massive pain in the *****, especially when everything shows up correct. RIP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
