    Ibiza MK4 DAB 1.4 SE Replacement code for radio

    Mark thanks for this, I am now going to brave the elements and work out how to get the radio out of the car. Have not had to do that for a fair few years. Since my Fiesta XR2i in 1997!

    Idle Rev Limiter

    Anybody gone from 1.4 TSI Ibiza to a 2.0 TSI FR?

    I did and went for the Supercopa. No regrets what so ever. More leg room, boot space and less squeak rattle and bang. Mine is also now Stage one courtesy of REVO and is frankly the doggies danglies. Very pleased with it.

    Jealousy ?

    Focus RS Mk1 at work, stopped 5 students knocking the bejesus out of another one on campus, suspended all of them and in the end three got kicked out of College. Came out of work two weeks later and the whole of the drivers side keyed from front to back and ***** sprayed on the bonnet with a...

    New Member - Bocanegra

    I had Forge on my Red 59 plate Bocanegra. Seemed a bit more bwarp than the ITG, when revved and you could hear the air sucking in nicely when stood outside of it. Cons, hose routing sucks a bit on the pre battery in the boot cars is quite tight to the bracket that attaches to the front panel...

    What did you and your MK2 do today?

    First wash for three weeks. Ended up Claying the bottom half of the car, it was covered in tar. Bloody horrendous. Then paint cleaned, 2 coats of polish and one of wax. Did look mint in the sunshine! Happy New Year car!:D

Reason...

    A Huge Hughes thank you.

    Everyone has a different experience, mine was very positive and on more than one occasion. They worked hard to sort all the problems on the Bocanegra right to the end and pulled out all the stops when we were off to Florida and without a car. Rule of life for every positive comment in life...

    Supercopa purchase

    Forgot to mention I had a hefty discount on the car due to all the problems that I had with the Bocanegra. I saved 3K on the car and have the 3 years free servicing deal as well. :D:D this was the main reason I bought the Supercopa instead of the Focus ST. Have the same power out put as the ST...
