Hello all!

I am new to Ford ownership, and hence new to this forum.

A few months back, I replaced my crusty old MK1 Megane with a shiny new *old* MK1 Xreg Focus 1.8 Zetec Collection!

So far I'm loving the upgrade (to be fair anything is an upgrade from a French car), but as it is an old car with over 70K miles on the clock its bound to have issues, which is why I'm, here!

I currently own:

2000 Focus 1.8 Zetec Collection - 5dr

1992 Toyota Celica 2.0 Turbo GT-Four RC, Carlos Sainz special

The Celica has been out of action due to insane rust issues since I bought it in October 2010, but it'll be back to life soon :rolleyes: .

I hope to get a few little issues sorted, so thanks in advance for your support!

(Just a note, I AM a car n00b when it comes to mechanics, although I hope to learn. Please bear with me if I reply with 'huh??' a lot!)
