From memory TG drives a Focus

So how many miles did you get out of your clutch TG? Heard that the focus was fond of chewing clutches?

Would that not depend on a few things, i.e. type of driving you're doing, urban, commute etc, etc and how fond you were of riding the f**k out of the thing!

I got about 80k from mine before the flywheel went.

Re: rattles/noises in the car. One way to sort them all out - turn up the radio!!

Of course...but I'd heard that the focus and the civic needed changing quicker than they should compared to other vehicles doing similar driving.

I got 150k out of my 05 vectra before changing. Fair few motorway miles in that

GJL, (or anyone else for that matter) do you do any respraying of cars or do you know how much it would cost? Its a Saab and the patch that needs resprayed following a knock is no bigger that the size of a big hand? Mid Ulster area

I don't do it my self but my cousin does. The size does not matter as you need to do the whole panel at least and depending on colour you might need to blow into the next panel to get a good colour match. £150 - £200 for a professional job. I'm sure some boyo could do it cheaper but you very much get what you pay for in this game.

Go straight to Hursts and tell them you know your rights. They MUST stand over any issues under the sale of goods act. Don't let them wriggle out of it.

they give us 6 months warranty. after 1 month we had to get the steering column replaced & 2 pads and now they are saying if its a wiring issue they aren't standing over it. i cant see it being anything but a wiring issue.

It matters not if it is a wiring issue they MUST stand over it. Mention Trading Standards to them and watch them jump!

Tap of the sledge will sort that problem out.
