Thanks for that mate, He got up for dinner there and he's putting pressure on the leg again, Has three red spots like blood but not bleeding here he is with a pair of socks shouldn't have them but I'll let him today

Like how the reverse camera looks after cutting the boot handle and repositioning it there. Looks factory 😊. Gives space now hopefully for the plate to be positioned correctly.

I don't own (or have even used) a PS4 so I've no idea how loud they get. This is the YouTube channel that I visited before I attempted to re-paste my Xbox: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfOrKQtC1tDfGf_fFVb8pYw/featured There is a specific video where he's shown actual overheating on all three versions of the PS4. He's also got one on thermal paste (original PS4), a detailed teardown video of the PS4 Pro and one on cleaning of the console as well.

Liam our Bearnese Beagle got his second set of injections and Chipped last Monday morning Can now take him with us to the forest for the first time today he's twelve weeks old now

I do like painting the bathroom door and door frame last night! Quite an achievement for me considering my hatred for gloss paint...

Go to the Yuasa site here Link put your reg in and see what it comes up with. If it comes up with the YBX5075 that’s what I fitted when I had mine, pretty sure the first number is the number of years warranty, so 5 years. Then just see what’s the cheapest you can get it for.

I have the latest Ford Focus purchased October 2018 with latest firmware but only the F7 map. After following suggestions in this forum to complain to Ford CRC about map and speed limits being out of date, I received the same reply as everybody else. But I went back again and demanded compensation and a Manager was assigned to me and phoned by appointment. When they gave me the standard jargon that other people here received that an update would be issued either late 2019/early 2020, I said that my car was not fit for purpose and I demanded compensation, and they then offered me a ticket for a free service which I understand other members have also received. I suggest that everybody else who complains also demands a free service which hopefully will shake up Fords a bit more about this problem..

Hi I am a newbie to this site here is my project which has just escalated as time gone on, you may ask why a diesel but i thought I will give it a try ...i started to do some mods remap, exhaust then i wanted to go a bit further well more then just a bit most bit have been through trial and error so far upgrades focus 110hp injectors, turbo dynamics kp35 hybrid turbo,ss exhaust from turbo back,fcd2 ( thanks stewart),FMIC, kevlar clutch, methanol injection kit and a rs tuning custom map giving me 156hp 260fbt. focus 110hp njectors kelvar clutch FCD2 for my next incarnation injectors modified with bmw 335d injector nozzles thanks dieselbob you know how one thing leads to another i wanted bigger valves, but due to the lack of room between valve and bore wall this was not feasible, so my fabricator has been speaking to his engine shop its taken quite a bit of convincing of hwy we want to pursue tuning a 1.6 diesel but they have now come round to the idea and are fascinated about the project. 0.05mm oversize pistons are only available which is no use to me reason for this the engine comes with liners so a rebore is not possible. The engine shop state they have repair liners on the shelf which can take the bore from 75mm to 80mm increasing capacity from 1560 to 1775, but locating a set of pistons seams to be a tad difficult because of the small end, but i am just going to get farndon to make me a set of rods with a small end of my choice........Increasing the bore size allows a whole host of alternative valves sizes, best combination seams to be 26mm exhaust and 29mm inlet from standard 23.4 exhaust and 25.5 inlet so a gain of 23% and 29% respectively which is quite a lot, All the porting is done to a spare head I will put pictures up as soon as I can I have been looking at the gearbox side of things without this the project wont start, now building a stronger Ib5 box is simple but building one with the right gear ratios is causing me headache the fiesta 1.6tdci comes with a 3.7 F/D with 205/40/17 tyres giving a rolling radius of 6.14 @ lets say 4800rpm gives a top speed of 113mph, there are two other F/D available which suit a diesel perfectly a 3.3 and a 3.1 the 3.3 comes with the same 8-bolt fixing as the 3.7 but good old fords for some reason decided to change the later fiesta 3.1 to an 12-bolt fixing 8mm screw and a totally different carrier, so I am waiting on a machine shop on a cost to see if the parts can be machined to fit turbo GTB1756vk off an audi q7 3.0tdi good for 32 psi at 2000rpm new generation vnt want to go to a hybrid GTB2256vk at a later date audi 2.7 tdi fuel pump and pressure sensor ported head with larger valves custom inlet manifold straight through 2.5" exhaust system with no box tubular manifold placing turbo over gearbox

Looking Ace mate 👍 I love doing little projects like that, Sadly I don't get to do too many like that anymore; doing the house these days and theres less skill involved and less room for tweaks like there was with the car, Most tweaks with the house have now been done; everything else is straight forward. Getting back to you though; you have made a fantastic job on that mate looks factory fitted, Maximum street Credit for making it virtually unnoticeable 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅

To stop the digging just fill the holes in again but put some chicken wire just below the surface. Keep repeating that every time they dig and after a short while they'll think the whole area is lined with wire and they will stop. Use pepper or chili powder to stop them chewing the lino and furniture. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

Thanks. I think if you were sitting in a jam or slow moving traffic, your fan would need to come on to avoid overheating. Mine boils up just sitting idling in the driveway after about 20 minutes. The radiator gets very hot but with no airflow it can't dissipate heat. I've got a 5K ohm variable resistor on order. I can substitute that in the sensor socket and find out what resistance is required to fire up the fans slow and fast. Then I can test any new sensor I get will provide that resistance BEFORE fitting it.

Yep! Been there, done that! Usually with cats doing the damage though.

Gloss paint? *shudder* Don't think he's wanting a walk mate 😆

I think you might be right on that Tom, different brands making the switch at different times. Doing further research this morning at the car display at Whitby regatta - 3 80's Fords (a C reg Fiesta, C reg XR3i cabriolet and another (B reg this time) Capri 2.8i) all had left hand stalks. The 70's cars on display (all BL brands so not a direct comparison) had right hand stalks so it looks as if the change started late 70's/early 80's. As you suggest, "oriental" brands seem to have persisted with r/h stalks for longer. Not sure about SAAB though - my 9-3 (2001) had a l/h stalk, though by that time it was virtually a Vectra in drag so who knows what GM chucked in there.

Westville Ok, back to the drawing board I go. Will have another look at and let you know what I find. Happy motoring Dave Sent from my SM-J600FN using Tapatalk

Cheers it’s a lot less in your face and not noticeable Double sided 3M tape mate holds it perfectly

I’ve got metal plates but they aren’t pressed and they have AC on the bottom so they went in the bin lol. i always blur out the front half of my plate when I post online, I’ve had it cloned before now so don’t take any risks. Looking forward to seeing yours. i used Halfords adhesive tape that is designed for plates and it’s done me fine, directly onto the car itself as I don’t have holders. Just remember to clean both surfaces with an APC or IPA and you should be fine. i will have no choice but to take it slow, family life is very demanding in my house lol

Could be, paint fumes don't normally give me a headache though but I guess it could be a combination of no medication and the fumes!!

The paint fumes from painting last night could have contributed to the headache; Ironically; I have a headache thismorning both sides of my forehead and all my teeth, Very rarely get headaches atall,

A really cool build loved the pics. Its great to see people doing their own R&D then sharing it. The way emissions and tax is going we will see a lot more smaller displacement engine builds.

The camera was like this originally. Had to move the plate lower and even cut it slightly for it to sit in. Now I'm able to have the plate in its original position and now looks to be space for the plate behind the camera. I bought 3D gelled plates. The characters are made of gel / ink then stuck on the plate. Will reveal them when my plate holders come hopefully Tuesday and put them on 😉. Just worried about using adhesive pads as I'll worry the plates might fall off. If you need any help with detailing / products you can private message me 👍. Nice take things slow. If you doing everything at once you'll end up with nothing else to do to the car.

My 2016 Fiesta ST-Line 140 in Magnetic grey is coming up for sale in a few months. Has Sat Nav, & Stop start. It's a lease car so will be available from a dealership somewhere (not sure if it's the same dealership that I arranged it with that will sell it, not sure how these things are done?) But if anyone is looking for a pristine 3 year old car, I don't think you will find a better one. Will be about 33,000 miles or so on clock I ran it in carefully, have driven it fairly gently (only been over 5000rpm about 4 times in an overtake), it's never done a journey of less than 5 miles. It's spent most of it's life between 2000 & 4000 rpm on the motorway in a 35 mile commute to work. Has been fully serviced as per manufacturers requirements. Have been averaging about 48-54 mpg depending on the weather. The interior is as new, rear seats only ever sat in once. The paintwork is totally swirl free and in pretty much showroom condition. Has run absolutely perfectly not had a single Issue with it. No creaks or rattles from interior trim. The aircon was regassed and the cabin filter changed at it's last service in July 2019. So if anyone is looking for an ST-Line 140 around about October time PM me and I can give you the details.

this this is the one I bought for my 2010 1.8 focus, it has a better cold cranking amp than the Bosch one it replaced. It was a toss up between this one and a yuassa one

It'll be used on road and on track. I'm hoping to use this one a bit more at weekends too. I've no idea what the fuel economy is. In the Lotus I was getting about 36mpg on the road. On track I was using about 6L every 20 mins, whatever that works out at... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

Where was the camera originally pal? Looks nice and meet there now. New pressed plates look smart! That may be my next purchase, just spent a fortune on detailing products. Going to try my hand at clay barring and may look into a DA polisher if all goes well lol. Also got some H2go for a try and ‘liberated’ a traffic cone to act as a wheel holder while i ceramic coat them. While the wheels are off the calliper sure will get the race red paint treatment too. Lots of plans but very little time, damn you 3yr old daughter and demanding wife 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

No Idea but are you sure it will fir in the wheel well? I looked in to having a full size 19" wheel as a spare on my MK4.5 Mondeo and it does not fit in the well.

Yeah that's the one...although hopefully yours will be plugged in unlike that one! By 2010 you should almost certainly be on the cDPF unless it was very late registered. I've seen plenty of 09 models on the cDPF. Easiest way is probably to check ETIS (or message me your reg and I'll check), under emissions it'll either say Euro IV & DPF or Euro V.

My Mondeo clutch & DMF was £950 all in with VAT. I really doubt an '05 1.6 petrol will have a DMF (euro car parts don't list any flywheels for your setup) Part ex you won't get much. If it's a tidy car, good history and for an 05 it's fairly low mileage get the job done. If you end up going for something else you run a very real risk of buying someone else's problems they didn't want to fix. I've had a MK1 and MK2 Focus, both 1.6 petrol. Looked after they are brilliant. Punch your reg into euro car parts and see what your options are it'll give you an idea of price. Or email a few garages for a quote, it's such a common car it won't be the first Clutch they will have done on a mk 2

Driving actually calms me most of the time and because of the cause of some of my anxiety, being in the car means I can isolate myself from contaminants and get away quickly if something triggers it off. Yes, SE4 and wipeout are the free PS+ games this month. I can remember the original wipeout racer on PS1.

Ah, @stef123 I never thought about the water running in, good point! I'll have a think, and if I do get one I'll let you know what it's like to use! Cheers, Stophen.

right smart *****. the other connections are exactly that, connections not part of the sync plug you have got from amazon. so since you are being lazy and not going through both threads as mentioned to find the answers, you really shouldnt get lippy with people you tit "'ACM main plug is the larger of two black plugs from the cd player'' ''ÁCM accessory is the smaller one'' there is two wires to move from one to the other as per guide FCDIM is the screen connector in your sync 1 take the two cables from there to the plug that connects your radio buttons AS PER LUKES PDF THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR. if you need more help feel free to shout and cry like a little girl

I do like this photo of our latest addition to the madhouse 😆 Not staged, just the way she sleeps sometimes.

Im sure she will love it it is smooth and quick I still can't believe I've got one

Hi, Obviously you need to get the car back in to check the keyless system. My experience of MK4s is that they are not updating all the modules at PDI and MK4s are tending to suffer with software glitches (typical Ford) You may have some sort of current drain going on, though again it could be software related. You can update the SYNC3 system yourself by following the instructions on the Ford website (search Ford Sync 3 update UK). Get the dealer to update every module that requires it and your problems should disappear. Are you driving in Sport mode? Stop/Start deactivates in sport mode

Car now running just an issue with the clutch which is going back to helix for modifications won't be a quick job even though it's an easy fix

Engine build nearly complete slow but getting there, currently waiting on gearbox mtx75 rebuild and uprating

larger pump fitted to dummy engine modifications to the bracket connecting the pump to the engine, remachined sprocket relocated tensioner, larger fuel feed pipe, pump being fitted today i am surpised at the size of the common rail high pressure compared to a the old mechanical pumps but even this pump is much larger then standard. i have been waiting nearly two months for this pump from design to completed unit, wont take this long for the next person because all the development work been done i hope its worth the wait... this pump will work on both variants 90hp & 110hp

gearbox standard ratios are not good with a 3.7 C/W weak diff and fragile teeth not much use for big power or top speed, so i enlisted a transmission company called G.E.A.R.S tv to build me a box....................Specification is as follows 3.05 crown wheel & pinion quaife ATB diff ,modified 12-bolt crown wheel to fit diff shimmed diff to obtain correct preload late high ratio gear set (3.15 1st gear) similar to rs turbo ratios new bearings,syncro rings nub shifing plates and tension springs cryogenic treated gear set
