Hi, My 02 mondeo 1.8 petrol has developed a fault where the 7.5 amp fuse in the internal fuse box that controls electric mirrors and clock keeps blowing but it also has some control over the instuments as i also loose speedo, rev counter, fuel and temp gauges, i have tried a higher amp fuse but it still blows, it could last 5 minutes or 2 days before blowing

I tried disconecting both door mirrors which made no difference, I've unplugged the clock to see if that helps , may have a look at the loom sockets on the doors next

The Alloys fit fine,without the need for spacers etc, and as per usual the insurance company have been notified. I'm glad to have gone down a size because I've always felt that the 15inch steel wheels and 195/60 r15's were too close to the wheel arch. Anyway the 14inch wheels have been fitted with 175/65 r14 Conti Eco Contacts, so any change in size (from 15 inch to 14 inch)should'nt hopefully change fuel consumption much, the only downer is knowing what the "normal" pressure should be, I've looked around on the net and can't find anything, the tyres have a max of 44psi. Can anyone please tell me what the pressure should be. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

please post your sale items in the 'buy & sell' section

Just had a look at this fascia then went to the makers website (Celsus) and it states "not suitable for UK Fiestas" so will have to wait for something else to come along if you want to change them.

lol just carry on as normal, if people are foolish enough to think that everything you post up is your personal goods for sale.. then more fool them.

lenny, i don't know where the misunderstanding lay as it was clear as day you only posted that link as a 'look at these for the mk7', you weren't intending on making money off them at all. but i'm guessing you reacted in a controversial manor? lol

No worries Lenny, sorry for the mis-understanding :)

Guys 100 for a facia is nothing new, I remember working on some cars, and recently a Mazda 6 install and the facia was about £120

so this is purely a plastic fascia? or an entire headunit?

I agree with Lenny, he is simply pointing out some goodies for you guys.

There maybe a slight increase in fuel consumption because your Fusion is designed for 15 inch wheels, it may also affect your insurance as they would be classed as a modification from the Ford Specification & if you did not inform your insurance any future claim you made might be classed as invalid. Hope this helps

Disels are as fast as if not faster than most petrol cars in gear as in 30-60 but yeah tbh they sound chod lol my dads got the 3.0 st220 and bugger me sideways that thing lets u no its coming. On the vectra front though there expensive the astra 1.8 16v is just about as fast but cheaper to insure and buy not that i ever considered a vectra being only 19 COUGH yeah anyway ... how is ur insurance so high for me right this second on my policy to change my 1.6 over to a 115bhp 1.8tdci ghia it would be 1600 with 3 points and 1yrs no claims with all this in my 1.6 edge (group 6 the ghia tdci is group 7) its 950 odd quid a year. Cheers damien the ghia really is on my "test drive" list when my 2year thing has cleared up on my licence long with the astra coupe chances are il buy the vauxhall then 6months later trade it in for a ford .. lol Mike
