Walking back from dropping the car off at the garage, they reckon it's probably the discs have warped but will know more when they strip it down

What a great car you ended up getting! I do love a good Focus thread. The non ST/RS models aren't the most exciting, but they're so reliable. Great cars. Thanks for constantly updating the thread.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with it considering it didn't cost a lot to buy.

Yes it is, I had thought it might need some new front brakes soon anyway.

Just spent an hour cleaning the cockpit of the car, not perfect but an improvement on before.

Parcel arrived from Peanut Gallery today thank you very much PG. I have a couple of days off later in the week so hopefully will be able to fit the parts then.

Plan for this weekend changed a bit with the coronavirus situation so tomorrow the Focus will be having a run out to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Used the estate bit of mine for the first time on Tuesday since buying it, a visit to B&Q for some loft boards, 8 packs only had to put the 60% split back seat down!!! Made me really appreciate having an estate again just being able to slide the packs in and out of the car!!!!

You do get a lot in the back! Randomly pulled our baby car seat out of its box, and found the headrest from my old car.

I remember carrying over half a ton of builders sand home in mine, it was a rather slow drive...

Enjoy!
