Hi all,
After a bad experience with my local dealership,

Id like to hear from others who have also felt the difference in customer service at their stealers too.


Guide: Fitting Ford Rs Led Rear Light Units Focus Mk2.5

10 May 2013 - 07:04 PM

Hi all, I have recently purchased some upgrade l.e.d tail light units from ford. Took 4 weeks to arrive as ford didn't have them in stock, this is very true as the manufacture date on the units is dated 8 days after my placement of order last month.

Tools Required: 1 x Philips head screwdriver 1 x Torx Txx Screw driver bit

so in the big box we find two smaller box's with ford fitting instructions, These units are very light weight at only 2.4kg including packaging.

Ford instructions are not very helpfull as you can see below lol

So let's see what's inside the inner box's

To my surprise they are supplied with bulbs, But I don't like the fried egg effect of the indicator bulbs so I'm immediately fitting some silvatec BA++ offset bulbs.

Before:

As above images only opposite side,

If purchasing these from a breakers or ebay; you can strike lucky and pick up a bargin as some sellers are not aware of the l.e.d units value. Such as this seller: http://www.ebay.co.u...-/221224879856? pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item338207c6f0

Notice the difference in the lens; the ford l.e.d unit has straight lines etched on the lens. The standard dual filament bulb units have a diamond etched lens.

Dtc#01A19A What Does This Mean?

24 April 2013 - 08:27 AM

Hi all,
I've accessed the secret menu on my focus today and found on the menu "DTC#01A19A"
Is this an actual fault code or was it always there and I've just noticed it?
