Lenny Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi my name is John, just bought a black sport s with 55k. Very pleased with it so far!Hi John, Welcome to the forum, I highly recommend you blank the egr with a stainless steel blanking plate and fit a Green Cotton Performance Induction Filter Both will give clean induction, prolonged turbo life, cleaner oil for longer and ultimately increased MPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmithyJ Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Seems tidy. Not been driven hard from what I can tell. No knocks rattles or squeaks! Only issue is prev owner didn't get the perforation check stamps. Very slight arch bubbling and shot blasting but I bought it because the rest is so tidy.

Lenny Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Dealer an old best mate of mine, which is handy and he would stake our friendship on selling me an honest car. Which I believe he has. And you've just said what he told me! im sure its because he's logged on here at some point and read it from me nah im just kiddin mate, everyone knows tried and tested, i know people whom have owned 1.8TDCi focus for seven years now and no engine issues ever, Any ideas how many were made? Couldnt find many for sale, especially the 1.8 TDCI. Guess people are hanging on to them? Sent from my C6603 using Ford OC mobile app no idea mate, i believe your VIN number can tell you where yours was built and many things, never give out your VIN but if you google VIN information there are some ford forum threads with the list of explanation codes and reference.People are holding on to them for sure mate, economy and reliability especially after blanking egr and gutting dpf if fitted but the 1.8TDCi doesn't have one which is even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmithyJ Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Can anyone tell me a good insurer to use for minor cosmetic mods? Ie I want to swap the standard headlights for the dark ones off the titanium. And been quoted a decent price for tints but direct line seem to take a very extortionate view of making your car look better Sent from my C6603 using Ford OC mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Adrian Flux are pretty good with minor cosmetics, they dont charge me anything for any of my mods unless it increases power. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
