I was looking at this again and whilst I still like it there was something that, in my eyes at least,wasn't quite right. Couldn't figure it out until now. The lower left picture is too short, the height the same as the bigger one next to it would be better. And the upper of the two bigger pictures is too big, if it were the same height as the smaller pics either side it wouldn't jut up. Maybe just me being a bit 'anal' though2 points

A Diesel engine does not have an Idle Control Valve. A Diesel engine does not have a throttle body either. The amount of air is not regulated on a Diesel engine. A diesel engine always sucks in as much air as possible. The engine speed is regulated by controlling the amount of fuel that is injected and the fuel injection timing. Some modern Diesel engines have a throttle plate but this is not designed to regulate the amount of air that is sucked into the engine. This throttle plate creates a vacuum which for example is needed for the EGR valve to work correctly. Another function of the plate is to prevent the engine from juddering when the engine stops. The plate cuts of the air supply and makes the engine stop a bit quicker without juddering. Older Diesel engines did have a mechanical fuel injection pump. On these engines the engine speed at idle can be adjusted by adjustment screws on the pump. These adjustment screws adjust the amount of fuel that is injected and the fuel injected timing so this should only be doene by a specialist. Newer Diesel engines like your 2.0 TDCI have an electronic common rail fuel injection system. This system is fully controlled by the engine management system (PCM) and can not be adjusted manally. Bad idling on a Diesel engine can have many causes but personally I would start checking/diagnosing the fuel system.2 points

I do like spending 3½ hours in the delightful company of Pipper the springer spaniel. http://www.margaretgreenanimalrescue.org.uk/41870 We bonded instantly (as I did with Brandy 16 years ago), we then had a 2 hour walk around the dog walking paddocks, followed by an hour of play and cuddling. Like a cat, she likes to be cuddled: with her sitting on your lap and nuzzling, And we then had another hours walk, before I had to hand her back, for the visiting time period was closing, for the day. I told the rescue centre I would like to offer her a forever home and for them, to begin the rehoming process. I couldn't have found a better new companion I going to see her tomorrow for another session, and hopefully daily, until the rehoming process concludes and she finally comes to stay2 points

You'd also need to soundproof the hell out of your doors with amped speakers in, else you'll just get vibrations :)2 points

If you could link me to where you read that ld be interested to see it myself. the speakers are one thing but you will also need a separate amplifier or amplifiers to enhance the audio levels from the headunit beyond the standard 50Wx 4 output. fitting 500w speakers sounds like a plan but you also need an amplifier to get 500w out of the speakers; if not then you won't get more than 50watts out of them. you won't have any issues with the altinator and those figures; unless the altinator is at the end of its lifespan in which case you would just replace it. a capacitor would help regulate draw from the battery but perhaps not required neither; depending on the class of amplifier or amplifiers purchased Class D wouldn't require a capacitor where Class A, B would and that's because there less efficent not better than a class D tthen there are two types of amplifiers; mono and stereo stereo also known as "full range" amplifier boosts all signals from the headunit sending them to the speaker, you cant send full range audio to a sub as it will potentially separate from the cone because it doesnt have a tweeter to process anything over 50hz a mono amplifier is designed for bass only. only a mono amplifier can take in full range audio but it only passes on anything 50hz or below to the sub. The only option for fitting a single amplifier to do sub and full range speakers is by fitting a five channel amp which can in some cases cost 100gbp more than purchasing two separate units.2 points

Hi Peter Thank you for your replay and thoughts. The problem is like someone is flicking a switch when in a corner and the car misfires, along with the misfire I sometimes a get a millisecond burst of power with the throttle in the same position, but again only when in a corner. I did take it to a so-called expert who apparently has the latest and up to date equipment but he couldn’t find the problem. Maybe I try someone who has the Forscan system. Thanks again for your input.1 point

I had a battered old BMW try that on me once. The silly bugger even honked at me! The strange flashing lights must have confused him.1 point

Was that a dark grey one? I saw a dark grey damaged Corsa on the back of a Pilsdon Autos flat bed heading towards Bere Regis on the A31 on my way back from MGAR1 point

I'd avoid a black box if I were you - Lots of people have issues with them, they tend to be inaccurate and don't take real world conditions into account - I know several people with one who get rated down for 'harsh breaking' - They had to break hard to avoid the ***** that flew out in front of them, for example. Don't forget that if they think your driving is poor they can increase your insurance premium as well.1 point

From my experience in a smaller ford dealership for 13 yrs, we only did 1 engine on a focus and that was due to the known coolant pipe breakage. Maybe our customers were lucky?? So out of the 1000's of ecoboosts we saw each year , 1 in 4 years.1 point

hi all iv wanted to take my car out day or night and get some good photos of it because im sad i know, anyway anyone around Shropshire or down Cornwall way (holiday august) have any good locations i can snap a few photos. hears a couple i did last night on my phone, i will however be borrowing my dads dslr so i can get some better shots1 point

Thanks mate - your detailed explanation much appreciated. I've already got powerfold mirrors but I'm thinking there's a few other mods I might be able to do, including simply changing my recorded tyre size so my speedo is accurate.1 point

its most likely been like that since it came off the production line, different models of the same car tend to have the same wiring but have different gadgets or extras but all have the same wiring to save money and time on fords end, i cant tell you what its for unfortunately maybe someone can shed some light on this.1 point

Hello everyone I am Wayne from Nottingham. just bought a Ford Focus MK 11 2.0 Ghia. I also drive a VW Passat 2.0 tdi Sport 08. I would like to apologize if i have hijacked your post. I am new and just finding my way around. if some could point me in the right direction. I would be most grateful. I like working on my cars. since I bought this car I have done both front and rear disc and pads, both rear wheel bearing, had the manifold of to check the swirl flaps, changed the auto tensioner, full services and done both drives belts. nice to meet you all.

I do like spending another 3½ hours with Pipper this afternoon. .We had a 2½ hour walk around the dog walking paddocks, slightly longer than yesterday, as every time we came down to have some off lead time in the high fenced compound; another dog was using it. We did eventually manage to get just 18 minutes before visitor time ended. After all the effort to acquire some tennis balls: Pipper was not that interested in ball play. For every 5 balls thrown, she only bought one back She did however, enjoy playing "find the sausage( or small piece of cheese)" Although I didn't bring enough socks with me, in which to act a decoys. Tomorrow I shall take more socks. I gave her her two squeaky toys that they've put in her kennel, so she can amuse herself with, her bio says she loves squeaky toys. A flat ginger thing with a central squeaker that on the label said "a cuddly wild hariy haggis" and a bright pink cow with multiple squeakers. In addition to sausages and small cubes of cheese, I established she loves stinky sticks but is quite indifferent to dried sprats. Having rearranged my week, for the most part (Wednesday is still problematic) , I shall be going off to spend another 3½ hours with her tomorrow.1 point

Yeah, having had -5 yesterday morning, I arrived at the station to see a pillock in a Saab obviously going home from night shift completely iced up, looking through a slot about 6"x4" in the windscreen... Where's the old bill when you need them?1 point

And would just like to add... Why on earth would I have paid Ford UK £80 to do what I did in 45 mins! If anyone from Ford reads this please do what US and India do and release software updates to customers of yours that have spent thousands on your cars and products! (Rant over)1 point
