I think your keyboard needs replacing.

Yep, caps lock seems to be broken in addition to his newsreaders problems with line length.

Please don't leave! But please don't type all in caps ;)

Your posts are usually helpful and you appear to be well informed - I quite happily believe that you do work as a Ford mech.

Cheers

Alex (2002 Focus 1.8 Zetec - very happy with it!)

It's a dangerous time when people think they are so invaluable that their leaving a group would cause it to collapse.

After reading newsgroups for 4 or 5 years, this is not the first time I've seen this happen. People on the internet forget _very_ quickly.

And remember - the internet is archived. Know that whatever you say now will be available for anyone to view for the next 20 years. And no, hiding behind a handle will not hide your identity.

I'll second that!

And... ask badraptor a question.... any info on the intermittent starting problem on Focus TDCi's? Covered several times in this newsgroup, but no definitive answer ever reached!

If you're a Master Technician you'll most likely know what I'm referring to, but if you don't, let me know and I'll repost the details!

Thanks,

Gary.

then who am i? badraptor is my email too!but what is my real name? tell me this!and my street adress,and my phone number!

Dale, are you *sure* you want that information posted?

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus people - lighten up. Sheesh what a grouch! This is alt.autos.ford.focus, not alt.road.rage. Badraptor knows his s*it, I can tell BS from the real thing after working on cars since the 70s. The long tool against my ear stethoscope method he suggested was a trick I learned long ago by a seasoned aircraft mechanic neighbor, when I was 19, and had a '72 Impala. (good ol' days) I just forgot that method and needed reminding from a pro. John

Yes, the TDCi is a turbo diesel and I'm in the UK. Not much point detailing the problem then if you're across the Atlantic, since you presumably haven't worked on diesels. But thanks anyway! Any of your replies I've read have been a hell of a lot more informative than a lot of peoples! Lol.

I have never heard of an SVT Focus that came supercharged from the factory. Am I missing something?

Bob

Interesting. You are an SVT certified Ford dealer and you install superchargers on the SVT Focus. Did I get that right? So which supercharger system do you install?
