Indeed, only the bluntest of tools would buy a new Vauxhall

Well Nighteye has a UK warehouse, confirmed from themselves and I received mines from them. And Night eye has a great customer service also. Ps let's not take this away from the review The lights are really good, well built and would recommend them here is colour My fogs are led also but a lower kelvin Beam pattern

yep , take one for a test drive. saves having to ask folk on the internet who cant really give you the answers youre lookin for. ;-)

To be blunt here- You don't like the look, ride or sound of an ST? So why look at buying an ST? I have been in one and it was perfectly fine. Sent from my SM-G930F

As @biff55 said can get 72w and have brighter light than my set @Cookey09 and we can compare them to these via light output build quality etc too never know if they are better a might get a set of them too haha I'm happy with these atm and the fan less approach in checked on there fb page only goes to 50 odd degrees which is amazing the one with fan goes hotter but with fan it decipates it a lot lower so goes Cooler because of fan and would be interesting to see the brightness of these bud keep us up to date @Jonro2009 so what you are telling us is that you were pole dancing your mondeo lol surely cant be too hard buddy I seen lots of aftermarket stuff for new mondeo and quite like them myself too and I agree with the 5000k usable light lol well I have spoken to night eye themselves and they were asking what we wanted a said a led light that's 5000k and they said it is possible and are now looking into it 😃

And in Doncaster It has to be a Vauxhall. Made the news.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-38594087

I have a TitX with 17s on. Yeah, the ride is quite jarring at times, so I can imagine this is worse in an ST. It's also not the quietest cruiser and you know you're doing miles on the motorway. Is it worse than my old Corsa though? Probably not. That was a Design running on 16s. The Corsa was more comfortable though as the Fiesta isn't great for tall people. Seats in the Fiesta are a little more padded. The 125 Ecoboost is a fun enough engine. Fast enough but not a traffic light burner because the gearbox is not designed to do it. Long ratios... The crappy clutch will also die very early by all accounts. It runs out of puff lower in the rev range than you'd expect. This is especially obvious in first gear. Sounds nice though. I'm a leisurely driver who occasionally likes to put his foot down though and for that, it's perfectly fine. Yes, it's chuckable. Yes, it's good value on the whole. Yes, stuff will go wrong with it. Yes, there is a plethora of mods you can make and I'm sure the spoiler will come off easily enough.

A few years ago a compete stranger did this to me in a supermarket car park. I was still in my car at the time (on the phone) and she parked beside me , much like that - absolutely no way for me to get out from the drivers door. I tapped the horn and gestured to her, she shrugged and got out her car. So I rolled the window down and punch her passenger door. You would have thought I has put a bomb in her car the way she exploded. Was worth it though - so got the point and moved it. :-)

we had a bit of snow in midlands, enough to cover our freshly tarmacked drive which i have to reverse onto then drive hard left so i dont go on someones garden lets say i got stuck and couldn't drive forward hahaha managed it through, being slow and gentle wasn't working so i floored it and managed to slide the car free hahaha, first bit of snow iv had in my fiesta

no worries. if youre thinking of buying a set , i'd probably get the 72w set as they have mini cooling fans built into the bulb base , which will help them last longer. the set paramanic bought are 50w so should be a bit brighter :-)

Don't know why it did that lol what I was going to say was you can also fit Euro reversing light instead of the fog light and fit a red led light in to the clear lense and smoke both lights I also fitted a led white light in to the reversing light

ah ok thanks , thought you meant you'd tried led dipped beam lamps and didnt like them. my bad :-)

Thanks again guys for all the reply's and great help. It is the external pillar / window trims, I was looking for. So sorry.

You've just handed your self a ticket to "bye bye's ville". Well done that man. The response you got is because quite frankly these are questions for a dealer to answer. The information is on the Ford pages, and if you're speccing up a new car, those options will be visible when you actually bother to do it. Buying a second hand car? The response would have been more helpful because no two Ford's are alike, and guidance would have been given on what to look for when searching for one with x features. This is the problem these days @alexp999 people expect to be spoon fed everything. I might just add, he's a paramedic. I wonder if he talks to his patients like that....

Welcome to the forum Gazza, I've saw your post on my profile page there aswell thanks for the kind comments & getting directly in contact, it's a better organised layout if i respond on this thread rather than my profile page. Before you invest in this project mate I suggest saving funds for the planned future project as I've spent over 12 euro on mine and it handles just like an ST but in terms of performance its still not an ST, it takes copious amounts of your money and you won't notice because it will always look good in exchange for your cash, next thing you realise; give spent 2 grand on modifcations. Now with that said I'll answer your question; Everything from the ST both inside and out will fit your focus 100% except engine parts & exhausts. The seats bolt in no problem, to remove front and rear seats you will need a TX40 and a TX50 bit available from Halfords both for around 16 pounds or the key set is available for around 12 pounds I couldn't decide at the time and I'm forever dropping tools so I bought both 😅 I've created a few guides including fitting the ST pod here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/68214-full-list-lennys-guides/ My six year long build thread is also here: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/41443-taking-oval-to-blue-horizon-lennys-build-thread-2010-2015/ Regarding the Body kit: The best place to get the ST parts is from the breakers on eBay, your focus is a Mk2.5 model 2008-2011 the zetec part doesnt matter its just spec. Regarding the wheels👇 🙊Bigger is not always better when it comes to fitting 18's alot of people don't mention increased "unsprung mass" Unsprung mass is basically everything which is attached to the vehicle that is not supported by the springs. The less weight of the unsprung mass; the faster the vehicle will be or atleast more responsive. Fitting bigger rims or bigger brakes discs or even calipers all contribute to the unsprung mass of the vehicle which reduces the free rotation and can wear out the clutch prematurely aswell. I've gotten first hand experience with increased "unsprung mass" when I upgraded my 16x7.5 wheels to 18x8 wheels the larger heavier rim looked the dogs swingers for sure but truth be told they also reduce the take off speed and responsive acceleration, The 8" wide rim reduces the vehicles tight turning angle causing you to dip left before turning right at times much like a formula one driver to take tight turns. Tyres are at minimum 100 pounds each if you are expecting them to last you 12 months, there's no option of purchasing a partially worn 225/35/18 neither that don't happen like it do with 205/55/16 sized tyres. On the positive side though; 18x8" wheels offer fantastic handling on the road when combined with good tyres you can get up to 45mph on a medium sized roundabout the lateral grip is fantastic, also on the motorway 140mph is as stable as 20mph there's no feeling like your coming through the Ozone layer in a space ship type judder it's plain sailing all the way. overall if your prepared to spend 400 per year on tyres and don't mind losing the ability to spin the front tyres outside McDonald's on a Friday night then 18's are definitely fun especially on the bend's. perhaps take up oven tray drifting instead😉saves the tyres Regarding Lowering If your persistent on doing somthing to improve your focus in terms of both style and performance then I highly recommend lowering springs. I've had the Ford approved eibach lowering springs fitted and it takes a few weeks for them to fully bed in but when they do; they make every journey more fun, the vehicle becomes very predictable in corners and doesn't sway like an elephant on a tricycle the top doesn't lean as much aswell as a reduction in understeer, being ford approved lowering springs they don't cause the chassis to scrape on anything ever, I've toured the country done over 100,000 miles lowered and never scuffed the body. The only negative point about lowering the car is the camber😁; some people are not aware of the excessive negative camber which needs to be corrected, Correcting the front camber can be done without changing any stock parts, however the rear camber bolts need swapping out for a set of eibach adjustable rear camber bolts, they cost under 30 pounds and allow the hub to be adjusted so as the full surface of your tyre is making contact with the road but with a marginal offset lean towards the sky which is ready for the lateral G when doing 35-40 on the roundabouts without slipping out on you. After lowering the vehicle and fitting the adjustable rear camber bolts; i highly recommend have the laser tracking alignment carried out at your local tyre specialist, The service costs around 40 pounds takes about an hour and prevents your tyres prematurely wearing out on only the inside which looks like this👇 😥Regarding the exhaust: The ST exhaust won't fit a regular focus because of the spare tyre well consuming the space where the ST or RS muffler resides. A full catback exhaust which replaces everything from the catalyst back to the tip or tips will cost you between 400-450 in T304 Stainless steel. You currently have a single exit mild steel exhaust as standard, the exhaust your looking for is a duplex, here's one available off the shelf from Piper Performance in the UK built from T304 aircraft grade stainless steel making it super light and never rusts. It's designed to fit to Focus ST exhaust hangers which do bolt straight in to your focus and replicate the genuine ST exhaust, there are a range of tips available including ST replica ones if desired. If you need any more advice feel free to post it on Here or if it's relating to one of the guides just post the question in the relevant guide and myself or a fellow member will respond within 24hr's 👍

Yeah they are fine bud @Willy i think ordered these ones bud too and would be interesting either his fly eye also as a lot ppl can't see through fly eye all the time haha and basically without fans less noise but lower lumins and only go to around 50c where fans get hotter but with the fan it cools it down to be the same or even to be lower and gives off brighter light in return lol

Be really good if you were ever to do a comparisons with 6k HID's. The output on yours looks good, and I wanted to upgrade the LED for some time. Decisions, decisions.

Hussain i have an oem one that has a little damage (nothing major, a few scuffs and one crack) that is available cheap and looks like what Lenny has on his car.

Probably because stop start and lights will be taken into account for emissions. As an optional extra, heated screens won't... VW don't need to worry about emissions as they write better maps than Ford.

So it wasn't snowing here when I got up...got out of the shower and the ground is white with quite a heavy snow fall now. Hopefully it won't last long though! Being Friday 13th I don't want to take any chances.

Hello Gazza another way to give your car the st look is to fit a set of st led rear lights. You can get them of eBay you will need to change the stock loom over but if you are patient you should get a set of lights with the loom included. If you take a look at Lenny's build posts it will show you how it's done.

Does it only happen while braking? If it is a petrol engine, the brake servo is connected to the inlet manifold. Problems with the servo or pipes could cause an air flow into the inlet manifold that would upset the idle, and may make it stall. It may be possible to replicate this on the driveway by revving the engine, applying the footbrake and releasing the accelerator. Another possibility is some odd electrical problem, maybe just a dying battery, this can cause all sorts of odd symptoms. Monitoring the battery voltage with a multimeter or a cigar lighter plug in voltmeter, or having the battery tested may be useful.

you need to get that back to them and give them the chance to rectify the error. They should give the engine a clean with degreaser to get rid of the worst of the oil and top up oil as required. As for an aircon charge though, your barking up the completely wrong tree lol. Once the oil has been cleaned up and any residual oil burns off from the exhaust, the smell will pass.

Just put the specific albums you want with the songs in onto the USB and plug it in - done and dusted.

If it does not have hill assist then I'm sure it has a hand brake.

Several points: a. Holding the car on the clutch will not do the clutch much good. b. I'm an ex police driver and, that being so, whenever I stop the car goes into neutral and the clutch is released. Police drivers are taught to look after the car. This allows the stop/start system to work and will save a fair amount of fuel. I have the same engine as you and get a regular 40 mpg driving practically 100% in a city centre. (Nottingham) c. Maximum torque on this engine is 1400 rpm and it will hold this throughout it's range so it is designed to run at low revs. d. Although the car has high gearing it will run happily in 4th at 30mph.

20mph in 1st is only 4000rpm. At the other end, it is 3 cylinders so has a different sound. If it is capable of picking up speed from 30mph, "struggling" is just a perception. The only question is whether the pick up is enough for the circumstances you happen to be in. A manufacturer does not design an engine to have certain capabilities but is too fragile or you to use them.

Did you use to keep it in first with the clutch pressed down and your foot on the brake every time you got to a junction/lights? You can turn start/stop off by pressing the left button in front of your gear stick. It's a 'A' with a arrow wrapping around it, and it'll have an orange light once you press it indicating start/stop is turned off. However, you will have to do this every time you start the car and it doesn't permanently stay off.
