mk1 focus 1600 , idles great with no electrical or air con turned on , soon as a/c is on the idle is up and down and generally too slow
in an effort to fix this i have replaced the vac hose thats common to fail on these , cleaned the tb , and replaced the idle valve , then reset the ecu by disconecting the battery as per the haynes book of lies
any ideas what i can look at ...surley its got some doo dahh that raises the idle to compensate for the extra loads ?

how about a pic of what you are doing?
remember you will need to get in there to grind the welds afterwards

stanley blade the old adhesive so its flat as possible
use the furry ball thing with the kit to wipe on a inch wide band of the adhesive primer all the way around the car body aperture and let dry 10 mins
cut the nozzle of the adhesive so that you apply an upside down V all the way around the aperture , carefully inspect the adhesive so that theres no missed bits or gaps , a wet finger can be used to tap down any dodgy bits
then with a help plonk the screen in place , use lolly sticks or whatever to wedge under the gap to make it sit with a even gap
helps to stand the adhesive in warm water so it pumps out nice

yeah as long as its happy to suck up water go for that , warm water and soap in a spray bottle , mist them down and scrub with a microfibre towel or soft brush , suck the water and repeat until they're nice , i like to go over them with plain water so you don't leave soap residue

erm yeah damp sponge /applicator
doesnt seem to have much cleaning ability so yeah polish first
its pretty nice to use..easy on/off although I'm not sure i would buy it again
tell you what is outstanding ...sonax bsd , mist on and wipe and it beads like a mofo for weeks , so easy you can redo it every wash

anyone else had bother using the cig lighter with a sat nav plugged in
with the radio on , if i plug the sat nav it blows the fuse
I'm thinking its because its a 8a , would upgrading to a 16a mean fire and explosions?

make sure theres an agreement in writing to put right any damage , its not unknown to have cameras and alsorts stuck all over the bodywork , i forget who it was now but some guy with a classic had to have it resprayed at the filmmakers cost , so don't expect them to love it like you do , its just a prop to them

i think he should mention the pay
if its £2000 a day it might encourage more owners to take a day off work ,tax the car and make thier way across london than if its no pay

look at the valve..you need to clamp it fully in the direction it would be if the car was fully loaded
the rears don't seem that keen to bleed on the ones ive had , so make sure the valve is fully rammed into the loaded position and maybe try a little more pressure like 25psi

yep well worth doing an oil change at least yearly on even the cheapest bangers , keeps em going
so yeah oil n filter change would be great , then sinse it sounds like an unloved banger just keep a keen eye on the levels and top it up , as long as its running ok with no mess in the tank etc it should keep going unless you let the levels drop
