Shortly after, I changed the LHM, which was a nice green, for Hydraflush and...

I presume you took the hose off in the process of trying the other clamp? If so you probably let some air in the pipe, thus the difficulty getting it to prime at first.

Agree with Kowalski - a locating stud. I've just done same on my '98 Xantia est. I was expecting the usual cross head screw but it was the locating pin. It didn't take much to move it, can't remember if I used a small spanner or mole grips.

I never realised you could get such large pop rivets 7.5mm.

Citroën have deliberatly changed the pitch of the coning on the piston rods so that you can't fit the wrong strut to the top mounting, so some how or another you are going to need to know what type you already have.

Looking round at ZX 16v brake discs (see my other post) there seems to be two different disc sizes, are these different front / rear or are they bigger fronts on the later models etc? (I know there were 2 different power outputs) if this is the case, will the bigger discs fit the smaller carriers without modification?

The 167bhp ones may have had the bigger discs but I still dont believe any were sold in this country as they only came out in mid 96. One bloke said 15 were and ive had 3 people tell me they owned one. One wouldnt send me a photo, 2 did and they were 150/155's as given away by inlet manifold

The battery sounds like the problem. Modern batteries are capable of delivering enough current to start the engine until they have lost most of their capacity, but it takes a cold morning to show it. Jump starting will never be as efficient due to the voltage drop along the leads, so you wouldn't expect it to start as well. The 'clattering' would...

If the Focus is like any modern car, replacement of headlamp bulb will be a pain! For example:-

I think you'll find there has been a retrospective modification of the thermostat at some time since production. I've removed 92?degree stats from both of our cars and the replacements have both been 82 degree ones.

Modern cars usually come with fully welded exhaust systems from the factory - when a part needs replacement you use an angle grinder and cut it at the appropriate place and slot in the replacement section. On the other hand if your'e going to keep the car for a reasonable time it would be worth fitting a stainless system.
