The Focus isn't well :-(

[FarmerPug]

SE already has the silver dash, and white dials, my exec had a black dash (a bit hard to see buttons) and black dials, the white dials didnt look right until i put in the silver dash bits.

Although I do hope to god I get one without the JBL sound system

[highlander]

... d'oh

I was sure the SE just had the silver dash inserts. Maybe I saw a petrol SE though; the white dials were HDi-only.

[I'm going to try get a HDi 110 SE or Exec

Insurance is going to be around £400 more than my Focus a year but just going to bite the bullet and just get what I want.
I was goiing to get a HDi90 Rapier which is only ~£100 a year more than the Focus and fit an SE interior and get it remapped but it's not the same is it?

How much for a full-cream, non-decafinated 2.2? (you know you want to)

I'm limited to 120bhp
Otherwise I'd have Dai's HPi when he gets rid of his.

It would be nice to have the rarest 406 of all... but not on my pocket it won't be
I'm renewing in November, so I'm hoping they might move the limit upto 140bhp as that will open me up to the 2.2 Diesel and the HPi.
But I really really miss my old clattery XUD.

HPi's 143bhp Sam, you may have to settle for something more sedate.......
(like mine).

Stop being soft. Buy a Monaro.

[Bailes1992]

I love how this threads gone from Dai's Focus to what I'm getting in 10-11months time

I might just stick with a HDi 110, it's got more than enough power for me and when I get bored I can get it remapped and instant 140bhp

Thread wandered off topic? How unusual

Lots of long journeys - HDi
Lots of tiny journeys with the occasional long trip - petrol.

There's a Darwin award in it if you do

Going to be doing a minimum 50 miles a day, for the first 6 months probably around 100 miles a day

for a while i was doing 80 miles a day the hdi on a motorway will do 50mpg no bother.

Well back and fore Dai's it was a 35mile each way trip, mainly motorway/national dual carrigeway and was doing 70-80 and did 41mpg.
It's not bad but a diesel is much better on a good run
