Hey guys,

 

Been a while!

 

Had an accident recently with a deer which resulted in my car needing some repairs... and when I went to pick it up yesterday, one of my headlights had to be replaced...

 

However, it wasn't all black like the original. It had one headlight very similar to the RS headlights, just with halogen bulbs. Obviously I had a moan...

 

Today, I'm getting the car back... and they have now replaced my other headlight as it appears the all black Zetec lights have now been discontinued?

 

Just thought I would put this out there for anyone else who may need to replace their headlight.

 

I'll put some snaps up when I get back of the difference.

 

 

Following on from my previous thread relating to my turbo not working, I've had the car go into limp mode several times now.

I've done the whole drive at 2500rpm for 20 minutes shenanigans and it has helped until last night when I get out onto the motorway, and all of a sudden my car just stalls (this happened twice last night) thus forcing me to the hard shoulder.

Just had my codes read for a second time and these were listed:

P0087 - Fuel Rail/System Pressure too low
P042F - Undocumented (Google suggests EGR Valve Stuck Closed)
P0490 - EGR Control Circuit
P1412 - EGR Valve Frozen
P2458 - DPF Regeneration Duration
P2459 - DPF Regeneration Frequency (This one wasn't present until the rest were cleared, and it won't clear at all. Car in limp mode as a result)

My mechanic reckons it could be all related to the EGR being full of junk, and is going to give that a clean (which could make a lot of sense, been driving a lot in the last couple of months, and had a fight a couple of times with a gritter!)

Any other suggestions I can recommend to him?

Also, what is the life expectancy of the DPF? I've done 64,000 miles.

All of a sudden today my car struggled to go up hill on the A32 like it has to every Friday. And trying to over take was a complete no go.

Dropping to a lower gear didn't help the situation much other than just revving the engine harder.

I did notice however that stopping the car, turning the engine off and then starting it again would resume normal turbo activities for about 10 minutes before being back in the lack of power situation.

I have no engine management lights, or other errors appearing on the dash.

Car has done about 17K since February and has been recently serviced, including fuel filter if I recall.

Ford Focus MK2 Facelift, 1.6L 110ps TDCi.

I'm not sure what wiper blade I am looking for as the one I have on my Focus, DOES NOT match what Halfrauds have for my model!

The later MK2 Facelift Estates had the smoothed wiper I believe, and thats all they sell!

Merry Christmas All.

Just seen these on eBay.

Its about time something like this was released, and it would appear these kits come with all the wiring and other bits needed (apart from the stalk) to give the car full bluetooth handsfree on most ford units and A2DP media play back on Sony head units

My Focus MK2.5 (Facelift) didn't come with bluetooth as standard. I have upgraded the radio to a Sony DAB one so I shall buy one and give it a try and report back the results.
