I'm lucky I've checked my cambelt and got a friend who's a retired mechanic it's all ready be done it's nearly brand after me ordering everything to do it but it's there when I need to do it but I do have a rumble when its cold ? I've sprayed everything with wd40 but it was stood for a while before bought it but it's only done 29000 and service stamp at 28000 I've found a bonnet lock with key second hand but a good one from a ford second parts seller from eBay £40 I've used them before when I had a alloy from them for a spare

Not all plastic is the same. The same goes for metal. I wouldn't worry about the plastic impeller if it's a genuine or OE pump (I think Pierburg is the company that makes them for Ford).

Excellent video Buddy

Great. Many thanks. Interesting seeing job done even though mine was done at my local garage 2 years ago.

My cam ends have been shattered too mate gonna have to replace them one day

Is cambiare an Italian sensor?

nice one matey i may use this guide on the mrs mk1. im shocked by the plastic impeller but if it is the original and has survived 150k and looked good its a proof its not so bad.

I changed mine at 117 000 its 1.6 04 model it had a plastic impeller (original) guess what local ford sold me same bloody one plastic grrr i just thought it was ment to be fed up now.

Excellent thank you, this is my next big job after I finish up with the rust, which is going nicely. By your advice, it is abit overdue but just about due according to the old advice. Mine is already on it’s second belt. Annoyingly already had to do the water pump. Can confirm the OEM part I received and old one I took out has plastic impellers. I noticed my rocker cover gasket is starting to leak so I am aiming to hit a few birds when I plan to do it within the next couple months.

been waiting for this

Fun fact: I did my 100000km (60k miles) main belt on tddi in two and a bit years! lol To be honest, I think you can do 150000km belt on diesels, because there is less load because it is going from pump to cam only

Just a correction just for clarity that I didn't make in the edit, Zetec engines have water pumps that are driven as usual by the auxiliary belt and not by the timing belt just like a Sigma.

Cool vid🎉

Andy ive got to change thermostat, if bolts come out intact i want to put in new bolts but cant find them. as ive never seen them im not sure the size ect i know its 8mm thats all have you any idea of part number or were to get them?? if they snap im able to drill out and retap myself but hope they come out lol.

Where can one obtain both plastic roof strips for the rain gutters, 04 ZX5' as mine are sun beating and curling up w/ rust and future water leakage. T.I.A😊

Where can I find a bonnet lock as mine when you put the key is it's all loose the latch is perfectly fine can't find one for a MK1 I bet it's a scrap yard job if I can get one need your advice

currently on sale for £237 (with the end of month 10% extra)

Awesome vid to explain the art of using a manual choke - actually prefer them! Give my bike full choke & no throttle & it fires up first or second kick. Unfortunately its a spring loaded all or nothing choke so leave it to warm up on full choke & get my gear on then when its just about to flood after a few mins, give it a few blips of the throttle to clear it and raise the revs as its knock off choke and settles. Just wish it had a nice lever to back it off gradually like your car 🤩

I saw your arrivals video but how on earth did i miss this video? Thank you for your kind words about my blue Rover 25. You sure know your stuff as he is indeed an Impression S! 👏

Hi I did a flush few weeks ago then added new oat coolant I had kept it running to get the air pockets preferably out of the system as I have no bleed valve so did it through the header tank. Left in idle for 15 minutes with heaters on felt the hot air with in seconds then gave it a rev on and off for a few minutes. The coolant had stayed at the same level more or less so top it up after few hours. Checker it every other day to make sure no sudden loss of level then after say a week it drop massive after driving then noticed a leak coming from the bottom bolt of the pump. Is this due to probably still got air in the system or will it be the seal as no issues appeared at the beginning or during the 1 St few days. Any intel or suggestions are welcome.

I had a leak, unbaknowanced to me, water filled up spare tire well about 1 inch and spare tire jack rusted through metal body( jack, foot/pad useless) and corroded the wing nut bolt that secures spare tire. 😢

It's great that someone still makes movies with 1.6 because UA-cam is full of 2.8 in e30 . Good job waiting for more videos with e30 😃

I would say the "World Car" that the Ford Focus was back in the day, did a very good job. The Engineers across all countries agreed. It was the shitty politicians who had to insert themselves that made the USA ZX3 an abomination vs a super cheap car to get to work.

Sorry, this is ultra levels of OCD.

Andrew with the never ending battle to hold back rust do you recommend any particular product I have used both waxoyl and Dinitrol 1000 and Dinitrol hs 3125 my galaxy did pass its mot but I noticed some corrosion that could do with treating

✌✌✌

It is sad the mk1.5 didn’t get the st as a hatch but if you look at our Honda civics people have loved the hatch and sedans. I’ve learned to really appreciate the body lines on the sedan. I will say rust became bad and the paint quality was terrible and never held up like the mk1 here in America. Paint would start chipping within just a few years or less

I’m in America, research has been very tough because most of what I find is European information. I have a mk1.5 (the face lift 05-07) then there’s the mk2 from 08-11. For a while I thought I had a mk2 till I found out since its facelift of mk1 it’s mk1.5😂

Love my ZX3 in twilight blue, I think it’s one of the best “hot hatch” designs of the era for sure. Timeless even. Mine still running strong nearly 25 years later. With some subtle visual mods she’s a real looker now. Too bad no power to back it up (yet)

I like everything about this, Andrew.

Funny you mention that our facelift cars are not as comely as the Mk1. Over here, its pretty much a 50 50 split as to which is prefered. Many of us with this year of car 2005 to 2007 convert ours over to the rare Street Appearance Package bumpers and diffuser with hatch wing and the SVT side skirts. My own car has had this treatment.

You have done well. You have obviously done your research. I would disagree with a few things and you missed some special edition packages, but you are on point for most everything.

I'd like to contact you. I have some things for you that may be of interest. I'm, i guess one could say, pretty knowledgabke of these cars over here. I'll answer any questions, if I can, that you may have.

Split port engine is a bad one lots of problems valve seats drop out is one the zetec engine is different to ours also if a cambelt goes on a us spec zetec the valves dont hit the pistons as there pistons have cut outs and ours dont maybe because of there fuels lower compression maybe

Another very interesting and well written video 👍. Speaking of CVH lumps, have you heard of the elusive 16v CVH? It would have been interesting if Ford would have actually given a 16v version a go 🤔.

Hello friend from Russia! You may not know, but in Russia, in 2001, a factory for the assembly of foreign-made cars was built for the first time. And it was our favorite Ford Focus 1! He had some interesting differences for the winter climate. As well as Russian-made parts! For example, an electric wiper motor. Personally, I have 2 FF1. 5 door saloon (we call it Sedan) GHIA, Zetec 1.8. And 5 door hatchback Rocam 1.6 with air conditioning (we call it an empty drum)) The car is slowly but surely gaining cult status. many Peoples who love this beautiful car If you are interested, you can write me on email for tell about FF1)!

Seeing the bumpers of the North American hatch 😮😱. Looks really weird though interesting leaning aboy the differences. I've seen the facelift North American mk1 in pictures before. They still look odd with the mk3 mondeo front end from a European perspective. Not arguing thoughvas Americans are used to them and fair enough.

you know im one of these people who converted their euro focus lights for american i just need the bumpers to complete the look

The svt was an interesting one. St 170 was tuned by cosworth but the svt had the same power but used a turbo.

euros got the better body styles for the base models imo, better taillights and headlights with real turn signals.

My ZXW street edition is still going strong 24 years later. The street edition spoiler makes the wagon a bit less brick shaped haha

Yenks have some funny expressions. :-) Tudor, and Fordor.. Small engine in the US means 2.0L, at least.

What is the solution for preignition in this model?

Glad that the engine was removed, which means another focus have been saved😊

Hi, my car is not moving in forward or reverse, just no motions at all, the cable from transmission is connected with the shifter and the dash shows whichever gear I select, but no movement at all. Fluid level is full and is red in colour any idea what could be the issue? Any guidance will be much appreciated. No error codes whatsoever. Also, when car is put in Park "P" it moved freely if you push it by hand, so my guess is the selector on the inside might be broken?

I used to work on cars and did welding for people but it's always can you do it cheap and people told people just got to much yes its people are lazy or have not got a clue i got sick of the hassle i work on my own car and not at garage as its expensive and the got the tools i do help friends as a favour as it works both ways but i will say you know your cars well and do a good job 👍 im starting a full engine service on my focus just waiting for my parts but im not like you where every thing has to be original and perfect but im using good quality brands as it will be my daily car and be looked after but won't be a show car but a tidy one and reliable as its very low mileage

Your toughts are exactly my toughts ! This guy is Gold .. 👌👌

Sooo i want to buy a mk1 focus manual , where do you recomend i supply it from? An online servise maybe? I would consider to pay more and having access to all car manuals , is that a thing anyway?
