Spark Plugs & Air Filter

27 February 2013 - 12:21 PM

Hello, Need to do these over the weekend

Which ones would you suggest?

Standard Ford ones?

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item53f4395ce0

Or Bosch or another make?

Will there be any performance difference using a different brand?

With the air filter. Is there a green cotton for a Mk2 55 reg Ford Focus? I couldnt see one on their website. Can you offer any advice on a different brand. Dont want a loud one. Just one that will give better performance or MPG.

Thanks

Wire Interior Lights To Headlights?

25 February 2013 - 09:03 AM

Hi, Is there a guide anywhere to be able to wire some LED strips so that they only come on when i have my headlights on??

If this isnt possible. Which cables can i splice into so that i can have a center console LED permanently on??

I would rather just with headlights though

Engine Noise And Interior Rattles

24 February 2013 - 02:28 PM

Hi this may have been raised a few times and can find threads but cant seem to find any answers. If anyone has any that is

Is there something i can line under the bonnet to reduce noise inside the car from engine noise?

The boot lid seems to rattle when coming to a stopat lights etc. Now i have temp fixed this by putting some tape around the catch to give it more of a snug fit. But when the tape wears it then starts again

Is there a permanent fix to this?

Also the parcel shelf seems to be making a noise aswell. Im thinking its just vibrating on the ledges either side

Anyone been able to fix this?

Now for the most annoying, the one vibration that comes from the lower side of the windscreen. Ive been unable to work out what is causing this. There is nothing stuck down the front vent or anything.

Am i going to have to dismantle the whole dash to be able to find this one?

Also has anyone put any sort of carpet down in their boot to reduce road noise or vibrations at all? If so, what kind of stuff did you line your boot with?

Have tried Dynamat on a previous car, but this stuff is expensive and its not for audio reasons why i want to do this, its just to get the car a smooth ride really.

Thanks

Iphone Holder And Charger?

22 February 2013 - 01:10 PM

Hello

Does anyone know of any Iphone 4 holders that have chargers attached to them ???

So i can just slide my phone straight in on to charge rather than having to have a cable hanging around when the phone isnt plugged in?

Looking really for a Vent holder or dash holder so i can run the cables behind the dash?. Dont really want a window holder.

Is there anyway to hard wire the charger so its not plugged into the lighter socket?

Any ideas or links to products is much appreciated. many thanks

Engine Sounding A Bit Rough

21 February 2013 - 07:08 AM

Hello

I purchased my Ford Focus 1.6 MK2 Zetec climate about 2 years ago from a Ford Dealer. All fine.

Over the last few months i have noticed the engine getting a bit noisy (Hard to describe but sounds quite ratteley and not very healthy, expecially in the mornings)

When im actually driving i dont notice it too much, but when the car is idle its starting to sound as if its a deisel.

Now i havent had the car serviced or anything since i brought (I know i know :( )

What could the cause of a louder engine be? Would have a full engine service resolve some of these issues at all?

Any help or more information please reply.

Many thanks
