    Hey buddy. Just wanted to say thanks for the guide. You explained it really great, and you saved me. I have my night shift today, and both of my bulbs didn't work anymore. My car mechanic and others didn't work anymore, because it's friday in Germany. So I had to take things into my own hands. Keep up the good work!

    Another great and informative video. Oh, the joy of old brittle plastic.
    I personally would spray the clips with GT85 (with PTFE) to clean and lubricate to ease the removal and refitting, particularly with old brittle plastic, perhaps using another cloth too to get rid of dust/grit/muck on the clips and where they fit.

      @@CarSpyTV They are great cars. We have a 10 plate, 1.6 TDCI on 180 thousand. Still going strong on original turbo, clutch and dual mass flywheel, though the flywheel is a bit chattery. And on occasion we get a check engine light for a stuck EGR, but it always goes away.

      That's good going. Our Focus Mk2 is quite a bit older but it's done fewer miles. If you're curious to see the differences, I released a review video a while ago. Link below.

    I come to you for all my Focus needs. Do you have a video on mk2 brakes at all? My brakes were screeching for some time. I had brand new pads and rotors installed and lubricated but still getting the same issue. Its really annoying. Any ideas?

    • @CarSpyTV
      @CarSpyTV  2 года назад +3

      I once had this issue on a different type of car.
      In my case, the pads contained too much metal and that made them squeak. The noise was worse when the brakes were hot, e.g. after braking a lot on hot days.
      I had the pads replaced under warranty. That sorted it. The better quality pads were fine.

    I need some advice. I've got a 2005 Focus and I was on the motorway yesterday and noticed the bonnet lifting up slightly and shaking about. I think the wind from driving along is going through the tiny slit at the front of the bonnet and lifting the bonnet up. I'm not sure if it's always done this and i just haven't noticed it or if it's done it for the first time yesterday. When I got out, with my finger tips lifted the bonnet, it comes up about an inch before the bonnet latch stops it. -When I was driving I was terrified the bonnet might flip up and hit the windscreen. Haha! Anny advice or have you experienced this problem. I opened the bonnet and there's nothing that seems loose and broken with the bonnet latch ( I don't think anyway) Thanks!!
