If I were you I'd have a look at a piper system then, I couldn't really comment on how much it will change your engine note but from experience there quality is excellent, and they have a good choice of tailpipes too.

Oh really?! I presumed they'd be popular on here as they are on the mk7fiesta facebook group. Sorry its a bit grainy and slow and *****... But I converted a short video of the "fade" effect in the app to a gif so I can put it on here:)

I've got a couple of problems with my Fusion and was hoping someone could help. The drivers side seatbelt is starting to fray and I was thinking of changing it for one in better condition. Is this a difficult job and what tools are needed? I've seen used seatbelts on ebay for about £25 from breakers yards, as long as the scrapped car hasn't been in a smash should these be ok? The second problem is the sensor on the driver's side front door is playing up. Sometimes the dash warning light and interior light stay on when the door is closed. I've looked but can't find the door sensor, where is it please?

Just clocked up 3700 miles and my rear discs are in a shocking state for the amount of miles they have done, spoke to garage today see what they thought but still waiting a reply from them . worth keeping a eye on yours, just a foot note the front discs are still perfect.

Hi all, new member here... Had a MK1 Focus and somebody decided to write it off so I thought why not upgrade to a MK2... So, I had looked at a few on eBay and seen this one. 104K on the clock, 3 owners, 2005, 12 months MOT. It's a clean car for its age with only some minor dents near the passenger door handle. Already added some LED sidelight bulbs and footwell bulbs, just awaiting the number plate and main interior light bulbs! Will be updating this thread as and when bits are done, with of course some questions or advice! Thanks for looking! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good idea!

Those look very nice. Yunii Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I got these Zetec S alloys for £250 including the tyres two years ago, wheels was like brand new and the Continental tyres show'd no wear, off ebay but had to travel 100 miles to pick them up, luck of the draw I suppose but bargins can still be found. Conti's now gone though and cheap tyres now fitted

Price refllects on condition . I didnt see the condition But then again i wouldnt buy without viewing personally.& I think they are not too bad for price. I bought facelift st225 alloys for £280 in mint with very good tyres. Its hard finding mint wheels with good tyres & cheap.always the option to refurb. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Don't even think of buying cheap sets! No doubt they'll be dodgy with kerbing & flat spots. Find a decent set and don't be caught out with damaged alloys. Personally I wouldn't want any of them styles! The first link are the type I had, reckon they was made out of monkey metal!

Saw 4 Ford Edge sports this morning I assume they were going somewhere to be delivered. Very nice cars in Black Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Hi all, I'm Carlo and bought a Streetka from 2003. Living in Holland and need this forum for all his knowledge of Ford. Thks already for the help. Verstuurd vanaf mijn HUAWEI NXT-L29 met Tapatalk

Thanks Rob, in my opinion looks super, way better live than on pictures. In real is much less purple, more like good red wine, [emoji485]. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

Thank you very much for your help. Im gonna email them and see which they recommend. :)

Hey Luke great news, def get some pics up wanna see the Ruby Red!!

Keep us updated m8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, finally today is the day. At 8.30 car was delivered to my work... Looks stunning. Latter will try to post few pictures. Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk

I Did similar only lower down.

Ah one of my pet hates jacking points I now leave a hockey pic in my boot with a cut in it just in case I have to go tyre shop. In my eyes nothing worse than a chewed up jacking point.. as for the op there don't seem to be no damage in ur photo so I think ur good

Hi, Thank you for your message, you have reassured me a lot. I was scared I made a bad purchase, as I really liked the car but thought that the gear gearstick was already broken or something. After your message I've been more careful on looking on the problem, and you are right, When I am I P and squeeze the lock switch, the P is flashing. If I do this and then move, it show the good gear on the screen, If I go too fast and do not wait for the flashing P, then it keeps flashing all the time. I am not sure if the dealer where I bought the car will know how to fix it, or if it need to be fixed. I have a 6 months warranty so I will check if something can be done and will post here if I hear more. But definitely glad that I am not the only one.

Ford Dealers already have the part number for the new SD-Card, was asking at my dealer last week. But they are not able to order it now :D so it looks like it was added only into e-catalog but no ready to ship stock :D hope this moth will Ford officially have it.

ok cheers mate might give that a go as it looks good. can you remember how many coats you did?

Might not be an actual recall. If it's a minor issue it's something that will just get done the next time a dealer has the car, such as at service time.

It would but naw i couldn't do that. It's one or the other lol I shouldn't even be looking at cars tbh moving into our first house soon so that's taken a good chunk of savings away. I just couldn't resist when i saw the listing. I spose as you say I'll know when i see it on Saturday. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

That's a very nice ST you found! Yeah, it's swapping a 6yo for a 10yo with all it's ups and downs, but I guess you'll see at the moment if it's actually worth it...? You know my opinion on this, it's still an older car (although one of the best ones), and you will have to deal with that eventually, but what about keeping both? I'm sure that would solve the dilemma

Buy this car and save for an ST Estate. Teeheehee

Many thanks for all that info Peter. Will certainly look to obtain the software and link. My plan A is to try Wynn's EGR cleaner, easy and cheap with some good reports. Plan B will probably be to blank the EGR, but will this give MOT problems. Plan C ??? Would be very interested to understand the mechanism whereby a faulty EGR produces soot in the exhaust. Regards

Hahah can't make ur mind up 🤣🤣. Plans sound class m8 but the power of the st shud pull ya towards it lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay Luke thanks for letting me know I'll definatly check it out

What is your budget? A back box will set you around £160 for a piper system or cat back £350

Mmmmm................haggis..................lovely!!! Wetherspoons do chicken with haggis and whisky sauce............absolutely lovely!

These windows are bonded and (like the windscreen) are part of the structural strength of the bodywork. Removing these windows without damage to the windows or window frame/bodywork is very difficult. If you want to remove these windows you should calculate the cost of a pair of new windows and a specialist to install them correctly.

That's like a Scotsman never having eaten haggis... But then again, I hadn't until a year ago so there you go!

Good Lord man!! No Guinness at all!?

Hej, inspired by Mountune Induction Kit for MK7 I decided to make my version. Drilled hole inside of original air box and added flexible aluminium tube to get air from underneath headlight. Added Pipercross panel filter. se pictures

BP Ultimate for me in my 2015 when I can. Nitro+ seems to make my car growl a lot more vs BP which seems to make my car quieter and smoother, and Shell appears to cause my car to regen more frequently.

Good stuff. Shame about the old one but the 1.8 engine is ten times better, so you should enjoy that much more! That mileage is astonishingly low, so well done finding it.

That is a hard question. Garages with a Ford franchise (dealers) vary a lot. Some charge huge sums just to look, and are quite useless, some are honest and good garages. So it all depends on what your dealer is like. From the reports above, I do not have much confidence in the garage you have been using, at least when it comes to faults that require any diagnosis work. And from the title of this thread, I guess you are unsure, as well! If you are reliant on garages for honest and competent diagnosis, and work, then you either need a very good local garage, or a very reliable car. An 11 year old Ford is never going to be the most reliable car on the road. My 1.8 has served me well, but it has had a very long list of ailments, from major Instrument Cluster failures to reverse light switch & coolant tank failures. I have been able to fix them all myself apart from a wheel bearing, so they have been annoying rather than expensive. If I had used garages for all the fixes, it could have cost a fortune. I do not like to "do down" Ford on a Ford site, but their dealer network is patchy and too often poor quality. Japanese brands do have a reputation for reliability. Though all car manufacturers are global enterprises now, so it would need some homework to ensure the reputation has some substance, for any particular model. ------ Maybe the dealer will find some simple problem like an engine mount or something. Otherwise you might have to consider other options. I think charging for an injector changed "on a whim" that did not cure a problem, might be challengable. CAB might be able to advise.

If I have a flashing P in the future on my Focus I will remember this advice. Thanks, ScaniaPBman.

I've gone dark grey

Thanks folks- checked it at lunchtime and normal service has been resumed. Annoying though. The red lights are a pain- especially when their activation is usually someone elses fault (cutting in front), but I don't find them too bad.

H7 have some LED direct replacement options http://www.horizonleds.co.uk/exterior-leds/cree-led-headlights/h7-led-headlights-headlamps I'm thinking of investing when my edge turns up (didn't order LEDs :( )

Haha!
