Hi all

 

My wife was driving the ford yesterday down a village lane which had quite a dip in a certain part of the road. The car down has a number of large scratches on the bumper which look quite severe. Also the bumper has come slightly unseated as a couple of screws came out due to the impact. It isn't hanging off though just very slightly loose, it can certainly be driven without any problems.

 

Does anyone know if it is worth attempting a repair of the bumper to remove the scratches or would it need a whole new bumper which I am guessing could be quite costly.

 

I would be grateful for your experiences and advice.

Hi all

 

I noticed this morning that one of the four small rectangular plastic clips on the roof of the car is missing. I'm not sure what they're called but I presume they are removed when you fit a roof rack to the car.

 

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement?

 

Many thanks!

Hi all

My 2009 Ford Focus is due a major service as it is 3 years old, although it has only done 16,000 miles.

Looking at the paperwork an annual service was done at 7,000 miles on it's 1st birthday and then a subsequent service done at 13,000 miles after two years.

Is there anything I need to specifically have done at this interval?

I am looking at the following:

- new air filter
- new spark plugs
- new pollen filter
- new oil filter & oil change
- fluid check and change if necessary
- brake pad/disc check

The steering feels slightly out (i.e. I need to hold the wheel slightly left of centre to remain straight) therefore I also want the tracking/wheel balancing looking into.

Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Many thanks!

Hi all

I recently bought new windscreen wipers as the old ones were causing bad smearing all over the screen. I have installed the new ones and they work really well apart from the driver side wiper leaves an arc of water when moving back to the resting position.

I noticed today that the wiper arm on the drivers side is ever so slightly bent. I'm not sure if the bend was in the arm before or if this is causing the arc of water.

Does anyone know how easy it would be to replace the arm or would it be worth getting a new wiper blade first to see if the first one is faulty?

Many thanks

Hi all

Does anyone know if the Ford Focuz Zetec 2009 edition has heated washer jets?
