its certainly not a rolling restoration project but for someone who is willing to stump up for a new heritage shell it would yield a lot of parts

I have always been wary of covers,unless the car is clean and dry to start with the inside of the cover will pick up dust/dirt and use it to mark the paintwork with wind flapping ,I think they are best used as dust covers for cars that are stored under cover

I knew that would get attention!
No, honestly, her Focus has been driving like a pig for months now with a low-revs mis-fire that had good days and bad. It had had new plugs and coil pack but there was no ryme or reason to it.
Anyway, she's got a trip to Derby 5-up soon so I gave it a service and risked new plug leads and yet another coil pack. It was the coil-pack! It's never going to drive well but the improvement is stunning. How it knew you were entering a roundabout so's it could mis-fire I will never know!
Anyway. Lesson to be learned. Don't buy the "cheaper" option coil-pack.
was the "cheaper" version by inter-motor by chance?

QuoteYes tried all of that.
It seems to be more apparent on the estate. It seems the only thing that really clears it is the air con, but i shouldn't really have to put it on to clear it, that is what the demisters for. I am not the only one with this problem as it has all been posted before thru various members
I've never had a problem with misting on my estate, it always clears v.quick.
mine clears easy as well

Ah yes - SP60 was the one they were incorrectly using - it's now been withdrawn and you can apply to the courts to have it corrected to the relevant (SP30/50) code.
SP60 was "Undefined speeding offence" and usually carried a heavy insurance cost penalty when an SP30 (or SP50) would not have done.
More about this here - the documentation on the DVLA site appears to have 'vanished':

[edit] Oh as it was 6 years ago in your case, you should apply to have it removed from your license (it's no longer valid for totting up purposes and should have expired now, I believe)
thanks for the info,it didn't affect my insurance at the time,they just said they allow one speed offence(didn't even ask for the specific code)
