Featured Replies

Hi Everyone...

I'm about to pick up a 1.8 TDCI Ghia focus tomorrow :-)

Really looking forward to it... its done 130k- what should I look out for?

My main question atm is that im also buying a leather heated interior.

What do I need to get the heated side of thing working?

Thanks for your help in advance...

Cheers!

a lolt if the wiring isnt already fitted have a look under the seats there will be a plug for heated seats if the wirings already there if it isnt forghet abouit it you would need to rip the interior out and replace all the under floor wiring with new wiring from a car equipped with the heated seats you really shouldnt have bought an interior till you knew if yu have the wiring or not to retro fit you need wiring looms switches relays and fuses etc its a big job

Thanks for the heads up guys- will see if there is wiring anywhere. I havent bought the seats yet- but then again might just buy it for the leather...
