tazzman600 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Well I've tried 2 government sites with the cars reg plate. 1 states it's sorn and it's MOT expires 28th Feb 2018.However the other site that tells it's history doesn't recognise it. Maybe that site doesn't recognise irish plates. Oh well.(Mmmmmm good title for a classic song) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Look lads it obviously wasn't meant to be. Initially I had wanted an ST3 estate so maybe something is working for me and deterring me until the right car comes about. Either way, I'm not disappointed or unhappy so I shall just get on with things until the right car presents itself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Rats. I only have focus titanium 16s... Ah well! Get on eBay and have a look for ford 18s. Any of them will fit ie mondeo or kuga wheels. I would love some 19s, the ride will suffer slightly I imagine but it would look sweeeeeet.Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil21185 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Seen the focus 10 spoke 17s on an estate and looked pretty nice. I'm not after over the top though. Chances are it ain't gonna happen soon either!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzman600 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 That looks real good and should be a very good fit and work well it being from America. Mind you it's a bit steeply priced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit dear aye. It looks as if the fascia is shaped like the facelift focus fascia. I like it a lot, just a lot of money.Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually really enjoying my car since the whole ST fiasco. I honestly think that Im not ready to change it maybe. Just something tells me that I wouldn't be able to let it go if it came to it.Power wise it's a lot better than it was when I first got it. The pcm update helped a lot and also the K&N filter. It's been in there long enough now to say aye it makes a difference, although keep the bung in or youll get heat soak.Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. It is a good shifter once it gets going but as you say you have to know how to work it. Takes a while, I'm still working it out but I love pushing this engine. It actually sounds really really nice up the rev range. Even with the air filter plugged up.Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had my focus about 3 weeks but I'm loving it so far and it replaced a 1.6 diesel, unbelievably I'm not missing the torque! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially when I mentioned the update the dealer was cagey, as if they didn't want to do it. They asked how I found out and I mentioned the Etis website. He mentioned that they only really do.itnif there's a major problem but insisted on having it done as I had read.someone else had it updated and the difference it made.I'd.jsut tell them you want it rather than ask...Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
