It's an age thing, I remember Cibie Supers, along with Carlos Fandango wide wheels, bubble arches, Cherry Bomb silencers, Peco Big Bore exhausts, CB radios, window slats.........oh those were the days, when as a teenager it was a rite of passage to buy a car that was as much filler and chicken wire as bodywork, servicing it was an afterthought whereas "souping it up" was important, scraping it through an MOT each year if you hadn't crashed it in the meantime, and evening meets in car parks were all about what you'd done to your car not paid someone else to do for you!!!
Born in 1970, teenager during the 80's.

Wella steelies and KC daylighters if ya don't mind,

The engine mount is being replaced on Monday along with an oil leak that the mechanic found getting sorted.

The Focus had a ride to York yesterday and Hornsea Garden Centre today. Now covered 16k miles since purchase.

Excellent, glad she enjoyed it. The engine mount and oil seal are now done, the next jobs to do are the Nearside front wheel bearing and rear shock absorbers.

The Focus reached 110k miles this morning

I see your tyre pressure monitor system doesn't work either!

No the system does work, the o/s/f tyre loses pressure for some reason, I suspect a bit of corrosion on the alloy wheel. I've pumped it back up to the right pressure now

Another mileometer moment yesterday, I doubt the Focus will do many more miles this year now, mostly going to and from work. It will have done around 11000 miles this year by the time New Year comes, though I need to get it in after Christmas to get a grumbling front wheel bearing changed. I'm also hoping to get up to Northumberland at some point to see the family, so that will be another 300+ miles added.

[Eyersey1234]

First update for 2023, the Focus has done around 300 miles since the last one. Been on taxi duty today taking my stepdaughter to and from work as there are no trains.

The Focus clicked over 111k miles on Monday.

Nice, well done!!

Another mileometer moment tonight

All done???

[Eyersey1234]

Yeah it's all done and sorted, much quieter now. I used the same mobile mechanic that did the cambelt. We move house tomorrow so the Focus will be doing a bit of running backwards and forwards between houses, we have a removals lorry coming but the smaller stuff can go in the cars.
