text: Brize passed us the weather for Gloucester and co-ordinated a self-positioned ILS straight in. The was nothing else on frequency as we were cleared immediately for the approach on handover, and again made full use of the autopilot. We were cleared to land on a runway that was “wet, wet, wet”. The runway lights were a welcome sight, and we landed, backtracked and parked up just as Cotswold Aero Club was closing down for the night.
  It was great to get a good airways flight in given the poorer weather, and this wouldn’t have been sensible for many other directions due to icing. Flexibility when planning a route really helps but even an IR can’t ensure that you’ll make a business or social appointment on a set day in advance. For that you’d need a much more expensive and capable aircraft.
  
  Well guys, I got a focus, not really all too familiar with the motor on these at all...it overheats with coolant leaking, usually when it gets driven but not in idle too bad. Are there any common issues known for these 16V Zetecs? It's a 2001 5 speed, good solid car, just some coolant issues, and a check engine light. Which I think is possibly an O2 sensor, I still need to get it scanned, took her out for a spin tonight and coolant was all over the hood inside and engine, I know the water pump is f**Ed as well, however there is a leaking on the right hand side as well, where it looks be the hoses go in...
  No one? HOw bad is replacing the waterpump on these? Engine Bay looks pretty tight.. replacing tstat housing tstat, all hoses, and waterpump.
  Can you actually see a leak at the water pump? Are you sure it's not pushing out of the overflow? Is the temperature steady when you're driving around?
  Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the water pump in a 16v 2001 Zetec buried behind the timing cover somewhere down in the middle of the motor......
  I know when i fill my overflow it starts relieving itself all over my driveway and first glance from under the car its coming out of the lower timing belt cover
  
  Alright here is the problem. I have the head light out again in the Fofo. This is the 6th head light in a year. Has anyone else had the head lights burning out quickly. It only seems to be the low beam.
  head light assembling might be loose. i had the same problem. guy put the new bumper but didn't put all the screws back.
  
  Halloween night a driver behind me on the highway didn't notice that traffic was slowing down and plowed right into me going about 75mph.
  My girlfriend and I walked away with just a little soreness for a couple days. I was surprised how well my focus took the impact. The exterior damage doesn't look too bad, but the frame was completely warped after the accident.
