  1. Just Had to fill the Focus up and was a little pissed off when i looked at the price of V-Power!!! £1.08.9 Basically £1.09!!!! Put 45.17L in and cost me £49.19!!!
  2. These new modern engines look more space-age everyday with these plastic covers.... Let us know BHP results when you get it set up on the rollers
  3. I picked up a cheap XR3 with a 1.8ZVH CVH engine, had a miss fire and wouldn’t rev up properly, checked the compression and it was 120 125 155 185psi (1-4) all the other basic stuff I checked so though maybe head gasket as it also would get warm in traffic. But there appeared to be no oil to water mix. Took the head off today to find some old bits, 1st I found it to have a KENT CAM vernier (and cam maybe?) what cant be too much of a bad thing, and also some odd scratch marks on a couple of the piston's and all 4 of the pistons have marks where valves have touched. But there aren’t marks on the valves. Possibly the Zetec bottom end mite of come from a Zetec with cam belt failure. Poorly set up vernier? Think I am going to have to get the head tested and see what happens. Anyone got any other ideas? Thanks
  4. I got one and use it quite alot, good for oil and tools. Dont normally buy halfords parts.... Def worth getting one!!!

Think its 12" When i was running the 1300 engine and using it everyday changed to a kenlowe elec cos i had the same thing never seemed to warm up to well in the winter, and in the summer if the temp looked to be getting a little high nothin really u could do, but the elec one on and was better alround
