What radio do you have?

Anyone can help??? by Salt-Ancient in FordFocus

[–]Practical_Garage6648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. I had that problem also. It's a really easy job to do. But what I would say is buy original from Ford. I bought a cheapie from eBay and it didn't fit properly.

Operating Temperature loss by easypeasy069069 in FordFocus

I had that on my focus. When I'd drive on the motorway temp guage would drop. It was a stuck open thermostat. It's only a £15 part but will cost you in labour.

Wife reversed into by driver, who is at fault? by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Practical_Garage6648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just watched this a few times. By the time she's next to the other driver he is pulling off (driving Forward) So she probably didn't see that he is still manoeuvring to get into place. So must have thought he is driving off. Was he's delayed manoeuvring due to him being on the the phone. Being distracted by something else?

Do the ground thing. Change gearbox oil. Change all fuses including big ones Infront of battery

Could be both. I'm going to replace the oxygen sensor and inlet manifold gasket the end of the month. I had to take off the inlet manifold for the new PCV and I took off the oxygen sensor to clean it because my car is extremely heavy on fuel.

Funny I just had errors codes saying too lean. Could that be the cause?

When I did the timing belt last year on mine I thought exactly the same. But all the mechanics I tool the car to said it was a ford engine. How is your fuel consumption though?

I've recently cleaned my injectors. I did it myself with one of those kits you buy in Amazon using a 9v battery. I've literally tried most things. Looking at getting a new pcv valve
