tomo2001 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi, nice looking, now just get out there and drive it and stop making excuses <_< Chris Hi Chris Was right about one of my previous posts - stereo very, very good (even if only 6 speakers) when compared to my Honda Civic system. Anyone know if its possible to show phonebook as First Name / Last Name not other way round ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadStick Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi, nope if it's a dealer, how much fuel do you think you get in your new one? Chris My dealer told me she had put £20 in the tank before I picked the car up. She wasn't sure I'd believe her because the fuel warning light was still on after she'd done it. At least I know when the light goes on in future there's still at least £20 in the tank. Here she is, couple of quick pics................Pleased with position of Brodit Proclip for mobile phone. Mmmm, very nice. Paul (2011fiesta) is absolutely right, EVERYTHING else can wait. Get out and drive it. (and let us know what you think) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Bit disappointed - Stop/Start doesn't work :( The light is lit all the time indicating the system is switched OFF and when you push the switch to re-enable it it stays the same !! Off to local dealer in morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxtrickzxx Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hi, I agree the wheel choice are just down to personal taste. Strange though you foun the tyres for the 18" expensive, I've got the same size on my Mk4 Mondeo and the Falkens were only £90 each plus fitting. What tints are you having and why not the privacy glass? Chris hi mate falken 452's for my st are £60 and conti's sport contact 2 are £114 the same tyre for the 17 inch alloys they were £156,weird i know,probably because they are not so a popular size.

cuke Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Hi, cheap wheels anyone? http://www.allenparts.com/product/Focus_MK_3_18%22_5-Spoke_design_Alloy_Wheel_Ford-Focus-MK-3-2011-onwards---1717039 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Nice price - if you can get 'em. Bet they don't ship them at that price LOL http://www.allenparts.com/category/Ford/Ford_Focus_Range/Ford_Focus_MK_3__2011_onwards_/Alloy_Wheels_Trims_Centre_Caps,b.html Bet they've got the wheel price and the steering rack limiter price mixed up.

cuke Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi, I don't think the dealers fit them anymore, I've asked for mine not to be anyway as it look silly next to the different font of the 'Focus' badge... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxtrickzxx Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 Wow that is a crisp White. I want a focus :-( lol Great looking car you have there ! :) thanks i give it abit of a detail today found the paint finish shocking though,it feels like fine sandpaper in places so i set to it with megs swirl x but i dont think its abrasive enough as its still rough to the touch,not sure what to use as i tried autoglym super resin polish and paint renovater!,didnt want to go to t cut level on a new car,has anyone else noticed this on a frozen white?

tomo2001 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 My Dark Mica is very 'gritty' to the touch. Have you tried claying it ? 5 spoke alloys are an absolute doddle to clean, you can get your hand inside the spokes !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomo2001 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Car in to dealers tomorrow for first warranty job - diagnostics flagged up fault with clutch pedal position as to reason Stop/Start doesn't work. Apparently there are 2 limit switches on the clutch pedal. Other than that, car great. Sat Nav very good, Phone so simple to use and call quality fantastic. Ipod interface great. Ride and handling very good, road noise little bit intrusive but probably due to 18's. 700 miles in and car averaging 50.5mpg. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried the autoparking for the first time yesterday - fantastic !!!! think i might have to have the door re sprayed all ready those drips wont polish out without taking to much laquer off,think i am going for the 18's,got a quote of £540 for the alloys and the steering rack limiter,just need to get £400 for my other alloys for tyres though.i might fit r18 225/40 rather than the 235/40 as there £40 cheaper a tyre for pilot sport 3 anyway,theres only 5.3mm in diameter,could someone with 18's give me your full tyre spec ie 235/40/w95/xL/fp etc is this correct?
