Hassen Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 That looks/sounds awesome. I had a good look at the torque curve more than anything and exactly what I would like mine to look like which would suit my driving needs as I mainly do National roads at 100km/h or Motorway at 120 km/h. The max torque is at the lower end and that way you don't have to rev the engine hard to get the grin factor. As a result of that, you end up getting better mpg. Exactly what I would like for myself. I might just show the guys your print out for them to get an idea what I am looking for. Does the car feel like a different animal now? I bet it's a lot more fun to drive :) And yea, if we all listened to Lenny, the human race would not be able to continue since we would all end up castrated lol. He does have a point though on doing the mods when no one is around ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Feels totally different, so smooth, and no effort needed to go a bit quicker. And if you do feel the need to floor it, it shifts lol First gear seams a bit redundant now, you can cruise at 30 in 4th and it does between 65-85mpg. Motorways hardly use any fuel, and overtaking is effortless. Obviously if you boot it around everywhere, you won't get as good mpg. But you don't need to boot it to have fun. ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Been out today, done about 40 miles. Still averaging 50mpg, driven on all types of roads. Booted it a few times too, seems to growl aswell lol....which is a bit weird coming from a diesel engine. :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Nothing exciting. Got some new wheel nuts as two have lost there covers. So will have three spare.

JC600 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 My washer jets keep dropping, so only the bottom of the windscreen is getting sprayed. So thought I'd upgrade to mist jets, picked these up today. Will fit at the weekend using Lenny's guide. ;) Expensive for what they are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerFlame Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I fitted must jets and changed the tubing at the same time.. Thought the mist jets were crap, only hit the bottom of the windscreen. Then, I compared the new tubing to the old. It was about half the diameter (silly me). I fitted some 4mm silicone tubing and what an upgrade the mist jets are! Cover almost the whole windscreen! You won't regret the upgrade :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 A must have upgrade for myself living in Ireland as the original washers a not very useful. Didn't mind paying the Ford dealer the money they asking as it makes driving so much easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremyc Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 What procedure do you do to clean your car. I love how clean and waxed it is. I need to replicate it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 What procedure do you do to clean your car. I love how clean and waxed it is. I need to replicate it! Cheers mate. Through the winter, rinse off, wash with wash & wax (hot water), rinse off, chamois off, then detailer spray wax with micro fibre cloth, fast glass spray on glass, spray back to black on tyre side walls and plastics. In the summer I use mers plastic cleaner and megs tyre dressing. And 3 stage - paint cleaner, polish, and wax to seal every 2-3 months. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC600 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Booked in on Saturday morning for 4 x Avon ZV5 205/50R17 89V tyres to be fitted....as those Maxxis tyres that were already fitted are dog toffee. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
