May bank holiday Monday was car wash and wax day.

 

I used the following products:

 

1. Halfords car wash kit

2. Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax

3. Meguiars Interior Detailer Cleaner.

 

Washed 3 cars by hand with the 2 buckets system and then waxed it according to the instructions. Going to keep this short and simple and I think the wax and interior cleaner are very good products. Going to have to wait and see how it holds up against the Irish weather. Hoping to get some sunny days to keep it and going and will give an update in a few weeks. 

Here are some pictures of the 3 cars we cleaned today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tend to follow quite a lot of members projects on the forums and it seems like a lot of us have a diesel Focus and want it to be more sporty/sport oriented while still retaining the functionality of the original car and the economy as compared to a petrol equivalent ST.

It started to make me think if there was a market out there for a sports hatchback with a diesel engine. I think quite a lot of us would be interested if there was a mid range model below the ST with a high performing diesel engine, the visual/aero tweaks, sporty interior and uprated suspension that would be similar to an ST model. There is a case to be made for a high performing diesel hatchback and I think with their 24hr Le Mans victories, Audi are totally missing out on a gap in the market there.

Would you consider a such a car if it was available from Ford? So far, I have not seen a model in the lineup that would tick these boxes, but correct me if I am wrong.

The other thing I was thinking about was that if you could just take out the petrol engine and transmission out of an ST and drop in a TDCI engine, how cool would that be! An extremely fun car with great fuel economy as well

I am interested to hear everyones thoughts/opinions about this?

Was in the Ford dealer the other day to get bulbs and checked the price of a full set of wind deflectors. They had to order them but it worked out cheaper than buying them online. Basically got a deal. Coulton Ford in Mullingar, I am definitely going back to you guys for parts and service from now on!
This is the box. Just fitted them earlier on in the evening and will have a proper drive tomorrow to see how they do and look.
More pictures to follow along with more mods planned for the year.

Hi guys.

I just picked up my 2010 Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 TDCI today and very happy with the way she drives.

I had a Blaupunkt GTA 470 Amplifier, an Edge 12'' subwoofer and Pioneer TS-Q131C (speakers and twitters Renault fit) in my old car that I would like to transfer to my car. I was just wondering if there was a way to make this work with the factory Ford Headunit (6000 CD with Aux) to be able to plug in my mp3 player or would I need a new headunit.

If I would need a new headunit, this is one that I was considering. If anyone has any experience with it or could recommend a nice affordable touchscreen double din headunit with bluetooth, sub out and aux input, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi everyone.

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my Ford Focus 1.6TDCI 2010. I have yet to receive the car as it needs to get it's VRT done etc as it was imported from N.Ireland into the Republic. Really excited to get hold of it and most probably will be by the end of this week.
So far my first priority is to get a nice entertainment system going (touchscreen, bluetooth, aux input and sat nav if possible) Recommendations would be greatly appreciated as there are way too many units out there.

Thanks
