Well I bought my new car yesterday. It's a Ford Focus 1.5 3 door with the 115ps 1.8 TDCi engine. Only got the dealer pictures at the moment until I get some better ones when the weather is decent!
It needs a hefty detail so I can't wait to start on it when the weather improves.
Plans, and no doubt will happen next year are lowered on coilovers, decat and remap and maybe black alloys but not sure yet as i've only just got it.
Pics!
Better pics to come! I'm well pleased with it though, I've seriously missed all the torque. 90 mile trip and the diesel gauge barely even moved.
Started on the intercooler today. Was pretty bad but as expected on 120,000 miles.
With the cover removed. Caked in dirt blocking the air to pass through easily.
The boost pipes were covered in oil too.
So armed with De-greaser and APC I soaked the intercooler and scrubbed it, hosing through all the dirt to give me this. Mucher better now!
I also filled the IC with turps, degreaser and WD-40 and shook it around after sealing both ends with rubber gloves. Removed the sensor and cleaned that too. When I poured the cocktail of cleaner this came out !
Put it all back on the car.
Random pic of the car!
I needed some new tyres badly. Quite shocked at how bad they really were, can't believe I drove it home with them like this :O
Much better!
Another pic but a really blurry one as my hands were cold.
Someone had also bodged the heated rear window, crimped the connectors really badly so thats all fixed and working too.
Dan.
