General Car Chat / Re: Just found out

Focus CC has the window "drop" I remember back in [was it 2009 or '10 when we had that really bad winter with heavy snow?]I couldn't get into one as the windows had frozen to the seals and wouldn't drop so the door couldn't be opened!

The Focus CC was just a bad car all round really. They really skimped on the folding roof - it's one section too few which puts a lot of stress on the seals which then leak when the car is out of warranty!

You forgot to mention that it's rather ugly as sin.

General Car Chat / Re: Is it worth it??

« on: 24 August 2015, 13:05:44 »

I would say its worth selling as is due to rarity --but omegas dont hold money yet--give it 10 years or so and the should--It amazes me that people buy newish cars--I would not buy one myself only buy classics--as I bought a rover P6 for 600 and did a bit on it got MOT too--total was 850 including purchase and sold it for 1600 3 weeks later

General Car Chat / Re: 2.6 cdx front tyre ware

« on: 24 August 2015, 12:59:35 »

Camber on front is wrong--its too positive and need to be negative--basically the wheel is tilting out at top when viewed from side and it should be tilted back--Unfortunately tracking is irrelevant when camber is concerned

Chop it as a 'proper' LEAD SLED Mercury......

General Car Chat / Re: Whine'y diff noise type thing ?

« on: 29 April 2015, 22:36:20 »

On my mot it says rear wheel bearing slight whine . So had both rear bearings checked and no noise but the front nearside wheel bearing was knackered  Still got whine'y noise like diff sound ? Diff full of oil so lost as to what it is 

Could it be something like prop bearing knackered 

check center bearing
