General Car Chat / Focus brake bleeding
« on: 26 January 2019, 16:17:40 »
Howdy y'all
Having a bit of a mare here, I've completely drained the brake system on a 59 reg focus to change the axle, I've refilled it and pressure bled the system with a gunsons Ezibleed but can I buggery get a hard pedal, shoved a litre through the system and not getting any more bubbles out but still no braking
I have some software that will bleed the ABS system and am planning on trying this in the morning but any other suggestions welcome

General Car Chat / Main dealer/ shoddy work
« on: 18 November 2018, 09:58:12 »
The 2.2 I am breaking currently had a brand new engine fitted by a local main dealer which I imagine would have cost a small fortune, I removed the gearbox yesterday and was surprised to see it being attached with a variety of odd bolts, nuts and bolts not even of the right size and worst of all a couple of manky old exhaust studs had been cobbled into it , disgraceful

Need to replace 2 roll pins that hold the manual gearbox rods together but by christ what a pin in the arse it is, seems the hole is 4 ml ( sized with a drill bit) but can't get a 4 ml roll pin into the bloody hole, any specific technique required ? Tried squeezing it with mole grips to no avail

Just back off hols in Lanzarote, all lovely. Arrived home very weary at 3 AM and as approaching the house thought " The wheely bin don't half pong a bit" as I opened the front door and instinctively went for the light switch the realisation hit me that the house was actually completely rammed with gas, turns out Father in law ( stone deaf ) had kindly brought some milk etc that morning and had inadvertently knocked one of the gas rings on and this had been hissing away in the sealed up house for nigh on 15 hrs 
Stupidly went in and opened every door and window, Christ it was potent, BG emergency where round in half an hour or so and after a while the sniffer said it had dissipated enough to go in.
I'll remember to turn off the mains next time, something I've never considered doing before. Won't tell FIL as he'd be distraught
Free carbon monoxide detector was a bonus

General Car Chat / Possible V6 needed NW area
« on: 09 July 2018, 14:32:07 »
One of our North Western Bretheren's Mig has been on the receiving end of another car...twice ... not sure what will be happening repair wise but they are keen to replace with a mig if the worst happens, thought I would be helpful see if there are any reasonably priced V6 models within the fold needing a new home?
Also I still want any dead/scrap Omegas around the same area !!

Posting this on behalf of one of our members Ray who hasn't got internet currently so I will relay any answers back
2002 2.2 dti CDX, power steering is getting heavy at low speed but works as normal at motorway speeds, Power steering fuse is fine apparently as is fluid level
Would this have servotronic ?
