Failed on a tyre and headlight aim.
All sorted now and i didnt even have to get me hands dirty as been in London all day.
Im starting to like newer cars for every day use.
:thumb:
nice one but i would of looked at the tyres prior to the m.o.t :d
i had 2 new ones put on the front on sunday and the rears were ok but they found a bit missing out the rear inside tyre wall so may of been switched around before i bought the car.
All sorted now tho.
It must be MOT week, the focus is going to Craigs at the end of the week. This is after I replace the things that used to be brake discs, and install some roll bar drop links seeing as the current ones are dangling around the driveshafts lol I may also put a backbox on it, seeing as the last one is in a hedge somewhere in Newbury lol lol
I love abusing Fords :)
Thats a nice coupe Chris, didnt realise you had bought one, did you chop the rex in for it?
no still got the rex.I sold the Nova and bought this and had a bloody good christmas with the change lol.
Ive got a jap can that would go a treat on your focus mate lol..

£1700 fvsh and 1 lady owner from new cant be bad.
Its a 2.2 and had the chain done which alone is about £500 to do.
Im not sure Hay would appreciate a billy boy exhaust on her beloved feckus. Ive tried lowering it twice, and each time ive been threatened with a sex ban :(Quote:

Subtle drop and a nice grille would make a lot of difference IMO :)
ive got the cheap irmy copy grill till i can be ar5ed to spend over £100 on the propper one.
If i lower it ive then got to get all the camber done and tracking and just cba really.
Its nice to drive as it is mate.
