    MarkCup's 2017 Ford Focus RS

    I agree with you to some extent, but fifteen visits to the dealer in 18 or so months would sour the ownership experience a bit for me too.

    Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas

    I love big ships, but you don/t really get to see many in Yorkshire.

    Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas

    that's a bloody big ship for such a short distance cruise. Was it anywhere near full?

    Power steering

    Rather than start a new thread I thought I’d ask in here. Should the power steering reservoir cap have a rubber washer/seal inside. A photo of inside a cap would be appreciated

    Fifth Gear last night - 182 Trophy V's MCS Gen 2, V's Skoda Fabia VRS - £5000 hot hatch bargains.

    that's why fifth gear is now on Quest, because it's a bit poo.

    really do think some supercars should be exempt from needing front number plates...obviously that owner thinks the same

    you've got to remember these feature are just to fill TV time. Plus what cars they end up with depends on what cars and owners the production team can arrange to attend that day. Being 100% accurate isn't top priory.

    Petrol Station Appreciation Thread

    My car but not taken by me. Sporting some sort of optical illusion go fast strips. I too don’t recall this thread at all.

    B7 RS4

    oh are you? How much and is the warranty transferable ?.

    I'm beginning to regret buying the RS...

    going back to the civic in retrospect I think I quite like the front it's the rear that's a bit too mental. Even the lower range models look a bit out there from the rear. Anyway @MarkCup any update?

    How many aftermarket parts has that got on it. I bet I could damage that splitter in less than a month..

    The civic gets great reviews but looks a bit stupid. Too much going on with it’s styling for me.

    @MarkCup when you were going through your engine change did you state that done people were on their 3rd engines back then.

    Old escort anybody?

    What about a £80k focus RS ??? https://www.lookers.co.uk/ford/used-cars/9073613-ford-focus-rs-2.3-eco-boost-heritage-5dr/

    Workshop lighting

    got a link? and can they be wired into the back of the unit or can the cable only come out of the end?

    Old escort anybody?

    As nice as it looks, £10k for a rep!! As much of a ford fan I am that’s too much for me thanks. I was at a body shop I know on Friday and he had 6 mk3 escorts in of various specs. The best was a S1 rs turbo that he’d just finished restoring (it was sold before he’d finished it).

    iOS "must have" apps

    anyone got a replacement for Moves since it got deleted. I've downloaded the MovesX but it's not as good. oh a separate note I use an app called Vehicle Smart for mileage and MOT checking

    Workshop lighting

    Those strip lights you’ve got, does the wiring enter the fitting at the ends or through the back like a typical strip light. Some of the LED lights I’ve seen have the cable coming out the end, I want concealed wiring. Cheers Oh and are yours the daylight ones or cool white.

    Would you spend £18,200 on a Clio 182?

    I’ve always wanted to build an older car to my more modern spec. E28 BMW or Sierra RS500 rep would probably be at the top of my list. There’s people selling replica mk1 escort RS at inflated prices so why not a clio, other then maybe it’s still a little too new. Oh and you know someone st...

    Treating Rust On a Car You Don't Care About....

    Similar to how my e46 banger went on both front wings. I hated it being there even though it’s a banger. I kept a look out for second hand wings in the same colour but none came up. Even if they did they’d have rust starting in the same areas. I ended up having two new front wings fitted, which...

    Tyre age code

    You see so many far with under inflated and/or bald tyres already. Getting people to consider tyre age will be impossible. An age check should be added to the MOT. I was amazed that the ones we had didn’t have any cracks or signs of aging other than poor grip.

    Tyre age code

    Watched a Jay Leno YouTube video the other day were he drove someone’s Enzo. After a couple of miles he told the owner (who was sat in passenger seat) the tyres were old and he needed some new ones. Old tyres are how accidents happen is how he put it to him.

    Tyre age code

    Just an update on this, I finally got to take the car out today with the new tyres (Nankang NS2) on and the difference is massive. No pulling left/right at all. Just goes to show even those the old tyres had loads of tread on them they were useless and dangerous.

    Still going strong. E46 330 tourer

    @Craig you need one of these to make it complete. Thankfully it’s now long gone (the caravan not the BM).

    Still going strong. E46 330 tourer

    Nice, m-sport routings do look good. My silver-grey 320d SE made it to spa franorchamps last month. Rammed to the roof with camping gear. Needed a new clutch and DM earlier this year, boo goo.

    Steering wheel retrim advice

    how come he let you have alcantara and not me. Maybe he just saves it for posher cars, he said something about having trouble with stretching it over the wheel I wanted.

    Steering wheel retrim advice

    we've just got one retrimmed by Royal and I wanted alcantara top and bottom sections but he advised against it. The quality of the re-trim is excellent. I did want to use snappy but couldn't get hold of him.
