Oil leak petrol 1.6 ti mk2 2006
Helping out someone with their focus. Done the timing belt and before I even started I noticed oil collecting at the bottom of the compressor. When I started the engine after the timing belt change I noticed oil dripping from the ac compressor mounting bolts (lowest point). Took a picture and looks to be a union of some sort above the AC compressor. Couldn't get decent pictures as run out of time before work. Is there an oil feed or return in this area? Don't think I disturbed anything there clo
No fool like.....
I have just cleaned my windscreen, and as soon as I had soaked it in my spray cleaner, I realised a mistake I have never made in my life before. Yes, I had covered it in Tyre Dressing!! Just spent an age cleaning it all off in various solvents, and then cleaning it 3 x times in proper glass cleaner. In my defense (LOL) the bottles do look awfully alike, but I have now labelled them to avoid future stupidity!

Ford Focus 1.6 MK1 Brakes upgrade
Hi there, I have a 1.6 mk1 focus and the front brake pads are slowly on there way out, the discs have seen better days so I have been looking at replacing them and possibly upgrading. I'm not looking for anything fancy as it's just a 1.6 I don't need huge stopping power. I have seen Brembo do a nice set of discs relatively cheap as well as pads. Not sure how good they would be as Brembo is usually on the high end stuff and rarely see them on a 1.6 Anyone able to let me know what t
Paint 🤔
So washed off the car and cleaned it, during my time enjoying doing this I noticed on the bonnet a couple of small hazy spots, I thought I'd got my sweaty palm on it or something but gently repolished but no change. I took some pics and zoomed in and it looks like bubbles in the clear coat? To touch the area feels no different to the rest nice and smooth etc I only noticed as the sun was I guess right angle and out corner of my eye, and hour later really really struggled to see it. I'm

Try using a bit of force to push one out, or go to the factors, take the top off and show them what you need. -
Turbosmarts reply about turbosmart booster tee. The boost tee can technically adapt onto any car if it has a pneumatic internal wastegate. -
Have any reports been heard of successfully drilling out these pipes and welding or epoxy resin fitting in some replacement? At 8 years I can't think that Ford will be doing anything/ -

A good shot of your wheel might help, I do not recognise them as a fit on Fiestas, might have been a dealer fit for the demo model. Last wheels I had done (during Lockdown) 16" Fiesta wheels were £140 for a pair, I think if he does all four there is a reduction in cost per wheel. He has been there for many years, and did some Sierra XR4x4 wheels for me in the '90's, they looked really good, same for the Fiesta. Micheldever Tyres also do wheel refurbing I think.
