Make: Ford Model: Focus LX Engine: 1560cc 16v Turbo Fuel: Diesel Tax: September I think but will check (Its only £50 for 6 months anyway) MOT: March 18th 2012 (Fresh MOT today) Milage: 126000 58 MPG (according to parkers car spec) I am the second owner, it was a fleet car for R G Carter Thetford LTD before my ownership hence the high milage. Being a fleet car it has always been well looked after and serviced regularly. It is missing the stamp for 25k but i am sure this would have been done, the rest are there. All have used genuine ford parts. - 12483 E.C Autocare Cambridge - 37483 E.C Autocare Cambridge - 50987 Marshall Ford Cambridge (authorised Cambridgeford dealer) - 60706 E.C Autocare Cambridge - 78596 E.C Autocare Cambridge - 92401 John Grose Group LTD Diss - 108372 P N Ward Norwich (Major service ticked so I presume cambelt) - 120172 P N Ward Norwich When I got the car it has no receipts with it so I contacted John Grose (Main ford dealership) to see if they had any history for the vehicle and they confirmed that they had done some work 20/08/2010 at 120561 miles. They sent through the account invoice for this, so I have proof. The invoice is for: *Timing belt - Key, Kit V-Belt, Gear Crankshaft, Bolt Hex. head. *Carry out repair replace leaking no 2 injector - Tube Assy, Injector Assy,Injector Assy (I believe two were changed) *Carry out repair replace split throttle unit - Body air intake. A common problem with these cars is the turbo oil feed pipe blocking up where it connects to the turbo due to contamination in the oil. A couple of weeks ago the turbo started whining, I had a look and the turbine shaft was a bit loose so I brought a replacement turbo to be on the safe side (from a 2009 model) which was absolutely immaculate. This was fitted at the begining of the week along with fresh oil and oil filter. (It was done by a mate so dont have a receipt for labor but have invoice for the turbo, oil and oil filter as proof). As above I put it in for an MOT today and it passed but did recieve the following advisorys: *Nearside rear directional indicator slightly discoloured (Changed) *Offside rear directional indicator slightly discoloured (Changed) *Nearside front road wheel with a slightly distorted bead rim *Offside tyre worn on inner edge (Being replaced this week) The only bads bit are a small dent in the front wing but it is pretty small (Picture below) One missing one wheel trim. Interior is a bit dirty but would come up mint with a valet (no rips, scuffs, bolster is perfect) Looking for £3000 Call me (Alfie) on 07795660688 or Pm me and I will get back to you asap

Most automotive shops will sell them. Wilco, halfrauds ect. If your unsure just ask an assistant in the shop and they will be happy to help you.

Looking good mate, my licence is a pain in the ar*e too as im diabetic, have to renew it ever three years ect.
-
Anybody have the part number? Or a link to where I can buy an aftermarket one? Cheers
-
Ok cheers
-
Does anybody know the part number for this? I have found a 'rear brake hose' for £7.04 but this seems very cheap if I need both the rubber and solid pipe.
-
Oh thats a pain. Its coming from the metal connection about 20mm from the bolt. So the whole thing will need to be replaced.

I replaced the rear brake pads and disks on my lupo this morning and noticed a small fluid leak from the flexi pipe which comes straight from the caliper. Is it possible to replace just the small flexi pipe? Ive never replaced brake pipes so dont have much knowlege on them. The pipe is about 200mm long and one end bolts straight to the caliper with a banjo like connection and hte other is connected to the solid brake pipe, with another connection. How do I connect the new brake pipe to the solid one as I cant figure out how they are joined. Does anybody know the part number for this? Its a 52' Lupo Sport. Thank you

how to remove steering wheel?
lupohillman replied to lupohillman's topic in Car Care, Maintenance and Mechanical
Is it difficult to put back on? I dont mind having difficulty taking it off but dont want to get stuck putting it back -
How do you remove the steering wheel on a lupo sport? thanks
-
Sounds easy enough, thanks.

Same here, what fuses did you change?
-
A few weeks ago my front wiper jets kept spraying themselves randomly, i kept telling myself 'i will get them fixed soon'. Now the wipers/jets dont work at all. Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this? All fuses are ok, I have taken the steering wheel casing off to look at all connections to the wiper stalk and these all seem intact.

If the indicators were removed is there any restrictions to where they have to be on the front?
