Serviced the wife's Focus yesterday. Was real easy!

Spark plugs so accessable compared to mine!  :D

One thing though... i borrowed my mate's socket set and he gave me the socket with the plastic ring in so the s/plug would oull out once unscrewed..... i dont have these. is there simply a plastic fitment that wil slip inside my socket when i wana do plugs? or do i have to buy the socket with the fitment already?

cheers
thought you bought hellfrauds 150pc set?

Cheers mate. I did the kickdown a few times and you can really feel the difference from 4500rpm. Main difference is in Normal Drive mode, the spongy throttle responce is now much chrisper and more instant.
