  1. Bob. I looked in to having my focus wheels refurbed via various companys but i eventualy went with these people. there spot on 18 months later the wheels looked great when i sold the car in fact the guy who bought it could`nt belive the wheels wre the originals. They do the full works on the wheels and do a drop off or leave the car service. They will be doing both my 13 and 14 inch wheels this winter. Only draw back is they only deal in cash.

    Spark plugs

    A while ago I bought a job lot of NKG BCPR7E v groved spark plugs. Ive searched the achives for spark plug type and the number comes back a slightly different as NGK BCPR7ES. The engine is a eu3 1.6 k im assuming the plugs will be ok ? With a gap of 0.9 mm and a torque loading of 25Nm Edited by - tweeky on 7 Jun 2014 22:08:32
  3. This thread might help but it looks like its not going to be easyWipers
  4. Jack the stack gauge coes with all the fittings inc a PTFE type tube, al though I didnt use mine I bought a braded hose form a company we use at work, but i havwe heard of people using windscreen washer tubing as an outer sleeve to the capilary hose to give it some protection. Make sure you leak check the gauge end after you get a good oil pressire and mine had a little leak.
  5. Jack, I have a stack MOPG in my 7 when i get home tonight i`ll send you a pic on the gauge very much like the original look. The Only major differance is the iluminatuion at night, being LED it vastly better tha the original. Edited by - tweeky on 16 May 2014 12:04:33

    You`ll need a good torque wrench too.
  12. I think the ones Ive seen in car plants were called DCtooling and the measured the torque as the fixing it done up sort of like rundown torque then final torque stage. Edited by - tweeky on 23 Feb 2014 12:26:13
  13. Im with 2GBR always told/trainned to release the torque setting on a torque wrench
  14. Get carbon ones if your worried about weight
  15. its more like this stuff here

  19. Put a override switch in the loop so you can override the thermo switch and switch the fan on when sat in traffic. Its easy to do.
  20. Nigel, When the roads are quiet nip out with a camera and a 6inch rule take as many photos and measure depths /sizes of offending hole/issues. You can used these for your own needs with your claim against the council/insurance Take photos of damage done to car too. post some piccys on here so you can get a rough assesment of whats bent/broken and damaged
  21. could this 2nd input be useul Coo ling fan control 2 This is an additional temperature-activated control that can be configured to switch any spare output to earth according to air, coolant or aux temperature inputs. This function differs from the main cooling fan control with the additional Switched by setting which determines the temperature sensor measurement used. The output that this function will switch to earth when activated is determined by the Cooling fan 2 setting in the Output channels page of the ECU configurations.
