Hi all, some of you may remember my post a few weeks back about my Focus MK2's engine sounded a bit crap well I've managed to get a video of it.

Sorry for the close ups of the dash all the time I was expecting it to come out on the vid which is didnt lol. for your info I was trying to show that although the temp needle indicates normal the digital temp reads 140*c!

I also have a video of the car in action when I'm driving if anyone thinks it would help?

FYI: Oil level on max, new plugs, engine milage 85k

    If it helps, my dash indicator is in the same place as yours, ie reads low, I would have expected around 95-97, and reads 134 on the panel. So I don't think it is connected with your problem, but then I have a problem too, so will wait and see what others say.

    Regards
