Hey everyone, I've just realised I've never posted pics of my car, so here she is. 1.8 Sea grey Titanium I came close to purchasing a black titanium, but then this one came in the market and colour swung it for me, plus the added bonus of it running 18's too. I had to replace the rear boot handle as the clips had broken and a new 1.8 badge as the one had fallen off 🙈 and a new reversing light as the numpty who owned it before me couldn't wire one in to save his life. Im not gonna go crazy on mods, I've done that on my last two cars, do this one is gonna have more subtle ones. So far Scuff plates and genuine mats all the interior lights apart from the glove box lights have been changed to led. Additional boot light too but I'll get a pic of that once it's dark, and the side, main and full beam lights have been changed too. Next will be a set of Eibachs and maybe change the washer jets Ill post more pics as soon as I can.

One on the left to open, one on the right to close

Nice car. A set of heko wind deflectors will look really good on the car. A st/ Zetecs rear spoiler would look good aswell. I am thinking about getting one for my car.

Does the smoke smell of fuel or does it smel of oil? If it's fuel then it's running rich. The reason the cat is coming up on diagnostic is because clearly, it's out of parameter due to whatever is being pushed through it lol

Wow, hats off to her! Despite being the same age as me, she's driving a much flashier car than me lol. What does she do for a living, if you don't mind me asking? Also if she's single can I have her digits?? Only joking!!!

Lee on here has one fitted.

Haha good try matey She works for lloyds banking group just got a promotion so she's treat herself. Still lives at home but saving for a deposit as well

Changing the rear fog light is on the to do list. This splitter doesn't look like it's on a ZetecS bumper?

My dads has a Zetec S and tbh I've never really noticed the spoiler I'll check it out the next time I'm round.

I do love that my new header pipe on my bike is going funky colours now :D Also enjoying shopping for bigger bikes now that I have passed my full test, yay!!

I let the Polish lads do it for a fiver.

i had 5 vauxhalls . oppps did i realy type that and post up . lol

No one said that but we could be here all day listing possible causes - Given the fact that it started of as shocks are failing but the car hasn't even been inspected so how can we possibly achieve a sensible outcome?

i remember the dog poo looking stuff. but wasnt 45yrs ago for me, more like 35 yrs

Sorry if I sound rude mate i used a can of tint spray on a clear lens of the reversing light then if you use a Euro style reversing light which is also clear used tint spray then fit a red led light it will shine red and very bright. I also used a led light on the reversing lens as well.

Sorry, the smoke effect 😉

How did you go about doing that?

It would cut the waiting times though

I do like the look of that tripple r front splitter but I'm curious how it would look on a titanium that hasn't got the zetec s side skirts and rear bumper. Would it look out of place? Anyone got any pics of 1 fitted to a car without the skirts etc..

Have you got smoked rear fogs on yours Daz? They darker than mine or is it just the picture?

That big hammer ^^^ is the reason i'm not a doctor too lol

I couldn't agree more as you wouldn't except your doctor saying just take an asprin for your severe chest pains as you'd expect a proper examination at least wouldn't you..

Good old Club stickers Great for that extra 5 bhp

Have you a pic with the spoiler fitted? Not really gave the the bonnet lip a thought, I kinda like the silver in front of the car

Hi Yes I've got a pair on watch on Ebay

As Ian says but as a rule ideally twice a year ie ; towards the end of september ready for the crappy weather and salt coming up then again at the end of february to be sure theirs no unwanted crap n rust from the winter months unless you live on a farm or drive alot on mucky country lanes then i'd be checking more frequently if you have alot of wet weather through the year ..

Went back to garage an a brake hose had come loose on calliper (young trainee boys changing brake pad...) All sorted and brake pedal firm again and doesn't go all way to the floor. Good job i didn't have an accident..

I recently fitted a st spoiler to my mk2.5 titanium and it looks much better for it. I am thinking of the front splitter too to compliment the zetec s upper n lower front grill.. and would like some st alloys as while I like my stock 16" 20 spoke ones they do seem a tad small.You thought about changin the colour of the bonnet lip. I got one in process of being painted panther black in my garage, along with the fog surrounds, as don't like the chrome on the front of the car.

Ignore me Stefan! Having a stressful time with the fuel cap not opening & closing on the car

Check to see if the pads move freely and all surfaces are flat & free of any rust. No harm in checking and then re-greasing.

All of the bits I've got so far? Or are you thinking specific items?

nice looking focus and great colour when clean

Me too but then I'm too lazy they do a dam good job for the price and seam to take pride in their work

to right iv got a large plasitc container that only containbs auto glym in my boot. need to expand the collection.

I've tried the Halfords one and from past experience the smell came back within a month or so.

No prizes for guessing what. I'll have to wait till the end of the month until my bro can fit them. Dont worry I'll post a pic as soon as there fitted them.

I was going to do before and after pics. It'll be a 30mm drop, I was unsure weather to go eibach 30mm or H&R 40mm, decided on the eibachs as I didn't to harsh a ride as I'll be driving around with a new born in the back come July, and this is suppose to be a "family" car after my last one 😂

I do aswell. They clean the car better than I can achieve, they do a fair good job in fairness.

I'm currently driving a 2015 Mondeo tdci. I'm travelling 4 miles each way. I usually do a 20min run on a Saturday or sunday every second week and alls well after nearly 2 years. I've had a 61 plate 2.2 Titxsport in the past and drove that similar distances without problem. As long as it gets a work out every now and then, the dpf will be cleaned out.

Copper slip or copper grease are both anti seize lubricants and you generally use a smear of it on the back plate of the inner pad so it doesn't stick to the caliper piston and on the caliper runners so the fitting area of the pads doesn't drag and cause uneven movement of the pads on the calipers ..

they were actually , never had any issues with my 1980's/early 1990's astras and cavaliers. had a 1983 sri cavalier and did 120k in it , all i did was pads and a few oil changes/plugs.

😁

That picture sums up the mentality/intelligence level of most Vauxhall drivers!!

The advantage of high profile tyres 😁 reminds me of when the tellytubbies crash in to each others belly

I hope he got a ticket for parking on double yellow lines!! Speaking of which, this would be equally relevant in the YPLAC thread...

Just know the rev range of the car and be in the right gear at the right time and you'll see off most 'boy racers'

I do like a good laugh. Johnny Vegas sorted that out tonight:

Glad it didn't soak your seat lol

It's should say tyre pressures for all sizes of wheels on the driver side door sill. There is a white information sticker there. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
