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

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.

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?

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?

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.
Regards,
Robin

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus people - lighten up. Sheesh what a grouch!
This is alt.autos.ford.focus, not alt.road.rage.
Badraptor knows his sh.t, 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.

Intermittent starting problem with my daughter's 2002 Ford SVT Focus. Just
bought it with 34k miles, she was cleaning out the car on Sunday and tried
to start it, no noise, just no start, but later it started. Monday when
she went to leave work, tried to start it 4 times, no noise, just nothing,
no start. Time 5 started, she said the start seemed a bit "sluggish." I'm
taking it to Ford dealer tomorrow, but any tips so far on the intermittent
starting problem?
Thanks,
Tom

Sounds like a low voltage problem (maybe a failing battery) or perhaps a
relay. Shouldn't be too difficult or expensive for a decent shop to fix.
Diagnosis is everything in cases like this.

Don't go badraptor! Those of us in need of automotive knowledge and good
analysis appreciate your participation and especially your willingness to
devote your very valuable time to this forum. And thanks your suggestions
regarding my unusual air conditioning problem. It had my local dealer
stumped, but you took the time to chat with me and within a few minutes came
up with a very likely solution, which I will present to my dealer and get
the problem fixed. We need more people like you here and fewer
philosophers. And fewer flamers!
