Hey guys,not a biggie but you can save a bit.
I made up a couple of cat sensor tubes with some 3/16th brake pipe.
The tube nut is m10x1.25 pitch thread.
Slide em on the tube,flare the ends and you have two tubes ready to go
for under £10.
The alloy pipe seems tough,but if it can`t take the heat i`ll remake them in
stainless.
If you dont have the tools i could make some up for you if your desperate. biggrin




Wiper blades,happened to notice the blades on a f*** focus looked exactly the same
as the lambo ones,so popped down to local dealer,quick measure yep 26" nice.
Not real cheap at £60 the pair,but less than half price for lambo ones.
Make no mistake,these are exactly the same, they also have a wear sensor on them.
You have to get two drivers side blades,cos on a focus the pass side is shorter.
Hope this helps someone out.Cheers

Great post! I don't suppose you have found an alternative source for the missfire sensors?

Many thanks.
