The engine is calibrated to run at a higher load when started so as to get the catalytic converter hot as quickly as possible. This is normal operation.

Usage a bit high because I got stuck in traffic but managed to snap this when I arrived home.

As part of maintenance procedures, I replaced the following just recently: * Timing belt kit and waterpump @195,000km * Coolant, might as well if replacing waterpump * Oil and Oil filter @197,000km * Fuel Filter @ 199,000km * Tyres @194,000km Also, just replaced the silicon pad on driver's door window controls. As the carbon that touches the circuit board has degraded, making driver's window inoperable. $20 on eBay, only used the silicon pad inside, and threw the rest away. |

What year it is? 2006
Body type? Hatch What series? Ls What Variant/badge? Zetec What transmission? Manual And of course, how many km's did it run? Bought it with 142,000 ish, up to 146,500. Problems? *Rear passenger door didnt lock with the others (little plastic bit in lock was worn down, replaced locking motor) *Has vibrations when sat at the lights (probably motor mouts, so intend to replace them) *When you accelerate get a noise, most likely suspects are wheel bearings or inner CV of Drive shafts (intend to replace both Wheel bearings and drive shafts) *oil residue on valve cover by the ignition coils (rocker cover gasker probably.) |

LR LX Auto 2002 Sedan 295000km purchased new by my Mother.
Car has only needed maintenance, new shocks/front mounts usual consumables. Twice damaged when getting service, resulting in a bent bonnet and causing a hose to split. Everything is self serviced now as much as possible. It has been an outstanding car, now used by Nephew. LR ST-170 2003 @140000 km. Stock, clean car. Needs a clutch, some clear coat needs work due to being under a cover for too long. Will stay stock. LR ST-170 2003 @293000 km. Daily driver, sitting up on jack stands for a clutch. Yes that’s fun getting to. Will get a major refurb, 70% of parts are ready to go. With a nice exhaust and minor mods/ecu tune this car is my favorite. Needs some exhaust parts/headers ceramic heat shielded. The 4-1 miltek is the surface of the sun. This car is begging to get the MTX75 from the zetec with single mass flywheel/zetec engine output shaft conversion. I will post about that potential mod later. OEM sucks! If I only had the stock car I’d do everything this has to it. The purists can buy their own stock car like the one thats been on the market for months in WA. When running this car gets driven for the sake of it, 3 hour cruises on great roads in the Hunter. Every moment is driving pleasure! LR Zetec Man 2004 @160 000 bought from a friend but never driven by me. Is used to refurbish and rotate parts. Could be driven after some minor work. I love the LR series, they are extremely well mannered on the road and have stood the test of time. I have some clips on tiktok ST170inAus Just messing around there and talking to UK/US owners. I haven’t done any driving ones yet. I have a you tube channel for that but no content yet. |

UPDATE
2007 CL LS Focus Sedan in Jeans Blue (Smooth Pack) for 20,990 AUD (2007 prices) 18/5/2007 - 2/4/2021 337,490 km (IIRC) (at least). Very close to 340 k km. Died of old age, I think the seals/rings and gaskets went. When it went there was the billowing of white smoke, no power and it did not want to change gear. Suspected clutch but mechanic who bought it off me for parts said nope, more likely I was smelling coolant. Much work New engine mounts (me) New serpentine & AC belt (me) New stupid bonnet key Flushed radiator a couple of times (me) Stupid spark plus bolt chewed tapped threads and there was one eventually that would not come out Did a lot of servicing myself, services were generally good here and at independent mechanics or dealers Got the death rattles (SWIRL FLAPS) in 2019 IIRC whilst traveling through Khnacoban to Jindabyne then back down Eucumbene to Talbingo  Biggest issue really was the brake discs needed rehoning a couple of times after about 150k km. Got ripped off once on that, Northern Beaches. I also reckon they were a bit hard on batteries the old Focuses, but maybe I needed a new alternator. I had electrical failure once, on the hill out past Goulburn coming back up to Sydney. Pulled over, restart, no issues. Then there was the seatbelt warning indicator which was incorrectly programmed and turned on whenever I reversed no matter what when I first got it. I never had to drive backwards when I drove it out of the lot on delivery! Car was great until after 220 k km, still drove okay out to about 280k km, then it was an absolute box. Car quality, comfort, performance definitely dropped after 180k km. Drive a VW Jetta and a Prado now, but I loved that silly little blue car. From new. They are safe up to about 140 km / 155 km per hour, but over 145 km the engine struggles. At 170 km/hr, I totally do not recommend, they get airborne. As bad as a 1982 VH Commodore doing 185 km /hr. As the car aged, the plugs got noticeably more dirty. It was a very easy car to look after. EXCEPT for the stupid AC pipe outlet that got clogged with pollen and flooded my car. I actually enjoyed fixing this little car. Despite the skinned knuckles and swearing, it was great. |

Oh god. How can I forget the drive shaft replacement and then the epic driveshaft failure in early 2018 (IIRC?).

What year it is? - 2011
What Variant/badge? - 2.0 TDCi What series? - LV What transmission? Manual and of course, how many km's has it done? - 239,330km __________________________________________________ _____________ Just an update on my Focus. The car is still running pretty well! Fuel efficiency is still at 5.7L/100km. I've been putting Lucas Oil additive on every full tank. Just read about the new 'New Vehicle Efficiency Standard' thing today. Being in curious mind, I've visited Ford UK website and found out that they are still selling the Focus! All of their variants are using Hybrid though. Our diesel Focus is more economical, if not the same. Fuel efficiency on their Hybrid is slightly higher with combined figure at 5.8L/100km. Cheers, RadioactiveX |
