Have a ford focus mark 2 titanium. It had a faulty radio (won’t stay on) when I bought the car. Looked at a second hand replacement but prices are about £600 on eBay. thought I could get an android Apple play. However when looking online, the options available don’t seem to match my particular radio size (some versions have different climate control buttons) would love some help on what I could do to get a working radio again. I thought about putting a dashboard radio but wouldn’t be able to use the fm transmitter to play on the radio. Could I hard wire it? thank you!

Couple of years to go yet to MoT on this one but had all our previous Fords done with annual service at the local (single site family owned) Ford franchise for nigh on 20 years. Usually moved onto "value service" at 4 years (now "essential service" I think). Our non-Ford gets its annual service/MOT at the local independent as the franchise dealer for that is: a) Inconvenient b) Expensive c) Not that competent in my experience (but very good at upselling stuff you don't need) But I've found all franchises differ and change of ownership over time has a big influence, so you have to make your own judgement.

Nope! I am not here. 🙂

Not had a Moderna, only Astra Zeneca for the initial couple, latterly the Pfizer Cominarty. The online version of the leaflet for that also mentions it is "for prevention". Every study I've seen draws the conclusion that vaccines substantially reduce the chance of serious infection, and mitigate the symptoms of whatever you do get. In some cases I guess that means you could have it and the symptoms are so mild you might think it's just a sniffle. I'll look carefully at the paper leaflet next time and see if it's still saying the same, but the use of the wording as above seems misleading and should be clearer. Certainly the NHS online guidance says: getting a COVID-19 vaccine can: help to reduce your risk of getting severe symptoms help you to recover more quickly if you catch COVID-19 help to reduce your risk of having to go to hospital or dying from COVID-19 protect against different strains of COVID-19

i personally would start at the spring and work your way back to see if anything shifted loose, then this is a shot in the dark but the anit-roll bush sits on top of the wishbone bush and the bolt goes thru both, make sure the anti-roll bush is actually seated properly, do you get any knocking noses or other symptoms did you have it tracked ?

As you noticed the light fail, why have a light on the cluster telling you the obvious. Side lights ,indicators and brake lights I can see why.

Springs do settle a bit over the first drive. But if it's not that then there are only a few things it can be: Snapped spring due to manufacturing defect (seems very unlikely on both sides) Springs shifted into cups if not seated correctly when fitted Struts dropping if not fully inserted into hub when fitted

Every thing went back OK only thing I can think is the antiroll bar not holding right do you think this is the problem

And minty fresh too 😂

did the top strut bearing go back on in the correct position are the springs the same size are you sure your not overthinking things with a whole new front end the car will feel a lot different than before

I'd give the Brembo's a miss altogether. Bought a couple of cars with those on and wasn't impressed at all. Noisy and dusty. Pretty sure they aren't built the same spec as OE Brembo's found on performance cars. As a 2016 build your VIN might work on catcar to confirm the Ford part number, which can then be cross referenced for aftermarket parts. Ford - Catcar.info If not, these are the best I can do for a Mk7.5: With front discs & rear drums - 258mm front discs - 1855307 - Genuine Ford Fiesta Mk7 Mk8 Front Brake Pad Axle Set 2008-2016 1855307 | eBay With discs all round - 278mm front discs - 1860476 - Genuine Ford B-Max Transit Courier Fiesta Mk8 Front Brake Pad Set 1860476 | eBay

Hi I would like to get a dash cam for my fiesta MK8, something small and discreet with good image quality, especially at night as I drive home from work at night a lot. I don't plan to wire it in, but would like to keep it plugged in to the power source providing it doesn't stay on when I lock the car. Thanks

It will go back up when companies are fined for excessive profits

yes unfortunately we all have our cross to bare lol yea car is manual and clutch was replaced just before xmas and seems to be ok no shuddering or anything like that

Standard guarantee, lunch time or till it gets dark.

Quick question please, the F20 Fuse in a 2012 1.4 Zetec petrol car, what exactly does that one do please? The symbol on the back of the glovebox just shows what looks like a dashboard, but I wonder what functionality it has. Anyone know for certain please? Many thanks.

I wonder if anyone can help. I'm looking for new front brake pads for my Fiesta but am struggling to know which ones to buy as there seems to be various options. I've changed brake pads many times but not yet on my Fiesta. I'm looking online at Brembo pads but there are at least two or three different part numbers for the Fiesta. My car is a Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost 140 Zetec-S registered in 2017 but built in early 2016 (MK 7.5 I believe). It has brake drums on the rear. Any advise would be appreciated.
