Plate looks much better on the fiesta than the focus :( ​and just FYI, I'm averaging 27.5 mpg in my focus. I do drive it like I stole it though!

I really want wheel woollies but they're just so expensive! i use little brushes for the faces and a megs yellow brush for the insides I also have a thick cheap microfibres mitt that I use too

It's viable. It's basically an ariel atom made by a mainstream manufacturer. as for 1.6 turbo on a 1.0. When all these new Eco boosts are out of warranty I'm sure you'd get people such as chip building the 2.0 with the 3.5 turbo on it and putting it in a mk1 KA ​warranty isn't an issue then ;)

Car is f**king epic!

Ford are my new favourite manufacturer! BIG <3 for ecoboost! Never has my mind been changed soo much about something! I had big doubts about it when it was released but ford have well and truly put me in m place!

JD, I've still not got my second one btw. Perhaps you want to get onto the postman about that? well weird that they didn't post at the same time!

I don't understand why people don't change plugs with an oil service. They're not astronomically expensive are they?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a compact fuse box that looks neat? ideally one that can house about 4 relays and a handful of fuses? You track car owners must have something tidy to recommend?

​have you been to a dealer and priced one up? I think you'd be surprised

Yes the wheels were about 2 weeks old (from when I picked it up of course) I took them off, washed them, using AG shampoo iirc, de- tarred, de-ironed, washed again, ipa (50/50 mix with water) wipe down and applied c5 with cotton wool pads (used more than I should have and wanted to but used less...

Do it! They're awesome fun! ive averaged 27.5 over 3000 miles on the car computer. It will easily do 35+ if you drive like miss daisy, but its hard to not put your foot down tbh. c5 only lasted about 2 weeks on these wheels yeah. Russ seemed to think it was the temperature I applied it in

Indeed wagons Ftw! ​red calipers match the rest of the car ;) plus they came with the style pack which is a must on the blue :)

Will do :) ​they were spotless when I put c5 on them. That lasted all of 2 weeks lol :(

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. After reading his contributions to this forum I have come to the conclusion that he is a gullible moron. ​proof that a little knowledge can do more harm than good

Lol that sounds good tbh. ​might wait for the price to drop a bit then buy it

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Ford engines run the belt through the oil. Maybe Renault are trying to copy?

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. So sticking to proper services, set out by Renault, the people who built the engines. I should get my cambelt changed every 72k or 5 years whichever comes first then right?

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Chaz you haven't answered me... if I do more accelerating than Doris will my cambelt go before the scheduled maintenance says so?

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Thread went gold... on the verge of going platinum! all it needs is this mug to keep digging. If his cambelt snapped however, that's an irony bomb Munson would be proud of!

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Troll ​100% raging troll!

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Get Columbo on the case! Effective, accurate and funny. Couldnt ask more of an insult!

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Still giggling to myself at satchel! Never has a word been so apt!

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. I'm literally in tears at this thread! Ron and Alan you have made my night and for that I thank you! Seriously! Thanks LOL! OT. Chaz, if I rag my engine a lot,putting it through lots of acceleration cycles will my cambelt fail before Doris' because she...

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. Poetic brilliance would be in a few years time, mr chaz puts up a "my Campbell snapped" thread. i honestly couldn't contain my exitement

Re: Cambelt Con/Rip off tactics. ​What happens when your tensioner fails? Toes the belt keep running on air?

Well the wheels probably get this treatment once a month. So not as much exposure as weekly. im still waiting for fuss to send me the remainder of my finest so I can sort some stone chips on the front so when I get that I might whack a bit on the wheels and see how we'll that goes. i can still...

Chris, they've only had dlux applied and topped with reload and tbh neither seem to be doing a very good job. I normally use a Mit in my shampoo bucket to clean them but its hard to get in the crevices and the wheel cleaner just makes it effortless. i won't be doing any damage to them will I...

Thanks guys :) ​just tidy? :( The inside isn't lol, job for tomorrow

Might try it on the next one then. spent ages on that Leon on the weekend and it still wasn't up to a standard I was hoping. :(
