Hi Guys,Hope you guys can help quickly.Just picked up my 2.2 yesterday with the wrong instruction book,on the way home my wife was playing with the radio and said were is the DAB setting?(no dab logo on the radio)Thought it was standerd on the Ghia? The car was a demo (6miles) never used says the salesman,and was first registerd on the 22/07/09,my question is has this car been sitting in a yard for over a year before it was registerd as 2008 cars never came with DAB. The car has leather seats as an extra,it also has sun blinds on the 2nd and 3rd row are these extras or standerd?also has 3rd row aircon. My worry is that I tow a caravan and that when the Mk3 came out the towball limit was only 75kg (no god to man nor beast) but the latest ones have a 90kg limit. One other thing does anyone know how to read a VIN number?I looked up the net for a free VIN check and the number is not reconised. Hope I am way off the mark with this.

Hi Gang Saga gos on and on,just about ordered 2.2 ghia,car was built in june so cant get factory fitted extras dealer wants to charge for fitting roof bars and tonneau cover ,my question is can i fit these things my self? I have looked at a zetec and in the back of the car it looks like the tonneau just clips in as the supports are already there,do the roof rails just sit in the grove in the roof and lock into place? thank you

Anyone have any idea what the a new build time is..some dealers say 13ish others say 6 -10wks

I was just about the to buy a 2.2 Gal,got a very good price for a new car trade in not to bad (mk2 Gal).Ok I said now what extras can I get ? Oh said the salesman the car he quoted for has been prebult we cant do that price on a new build and it takes 13 wks so I walked away...is he talking mince on the price and build time?

Thanks for the help guys but it turns out to 90 Kg which is pretty good.

Hi guys can anyone tell me what the max tow ball weight on the MK3 2.2 plz

Hi guys ,I have got a loan of my father inlaws 05 plate mk 1 focus and have a slow puncture,my problem is he has lost the locking wheel nut,are they all the same and can i get one from my local dealer?

Anyone any idea when the Galaxy Titanium is coming out? Can find info on it on the net but no word on the Ford site... :unsure:

When are you due to get?My car is due to be change in september and with the summer holidays looming I dont know when to order one.Did you trade a mk2 in ?If so did you get a good deal?Sorry for so many questions

Does anyone have one of these cars yet?

Dellybeanhead its not the towball that dictates the nose weight,its the car its self,getting a tow bar thats says its 100kg does not matter you still cannt have the nose weight more than 80 kg.As a caravaner myself I know your problem,its one of the reasons I might buy Land Rover next time I buy a new car as 80kg is very low and hard to meet.

Cancel the car and see what they do

How come you can get info on 2.2 / spec on the net and from a dealer or from the Ford website? :lol:

I would tell were he could stick the car and go to another dealer.... :lol:

Me again,just been on another site and a guy there said,according to the fithgear program the engine is a renault unit which also powers the citreon c crosser.

Thanks for the info guys...is it the same engine that both off you guys are on about? :D

Hi Guys I know its a bit of a dumb question ,but were is the new 2.2 engine from ? i.e is from Landrover or is it in house?
