Ah right ill have a read here, but im more than satisfied with the JBL setup in my exec, its not BOOM BOOM loud but its good and clear. The best test i found for an audio system is nessum dorma its so loud bad speakers start to crackle like they did in my aunts 3 series but not in the Exec.

At some point, this topic may even meander back to Bailes and his Ford Focus! :cheesy:

the titles of posts is not the most reliable thing on this website with all the meandering that happens on here, lets dig a channel back to the main subject before it ends up as an oxbow lake (ha geographical humour). Lets focus in on the subject; what about the lambada sensors?

Well, this seems an opportune time & place to do a little Hocus-Pocus type enquiring. :lol:

My lad's Y-reg Focus has problems with both front lecky windows - from his utterly non-technical description, I gather the windows have some form of flexible drive, ("the wire's broke") and the glass then drops to the bottom of the slides. The other one is "sticky" :roll:

What I'm hoping some of you learned Ford fixers can tell me is whether this is likely to be a scrappy job, or a case of replacing something relatively cheap / available?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
