It only cost me $125...almost everything was under warranty...the brake light was low brake fluid, no leaks found...(I'll keep an eye on this one make sure I don't have the same issue you do)...swaybar bushing worn both replaced under warranty, both rear lower control arm bushings replaced under warranty as well as two or three front upper and lower bushings all replaced under warranty...he told me just labor to do all that because they have to drill out the old bushings in the rear would have been almost what I paid for my extended warranty. They charged me for new wipers and installing my new 139 decible horn. Tomorrow is oil/filter, summer tires, balancing and alignment...and I'll be set.
Do you know yet if you'll show up at Storyland?????

nice, kinda makes me wish i had bought the extended warranty. i wouldnt think that you would have anything with the clutch master cylinder if you havent had any opther issues with the clutch because it hink they go hand in hand, but the thing to look for is a drip running down the arm of the clutch pedal, and the face of the pedal looks like its collecting dirt (because it is! with all the brake fluid)
ill do some figurin tonight and have an answer for you this weekend, cause ill need to get a room soon...the only thing that makes me debate is i have to be in tewksbury mass for 6pm sunday for a roller league i play goalie for, so i kinda cant miss it...ill get back to you this weekend for sure
we shall see...get paid tomorrow, so well see how my debt to income ratio will look. im in a hotspot once again, after being laid off all winter and losing out on $300 from sidework, hopefully i can make ends meet to get there...
Well I had an eventful day, after having two tires mounted and balanced, the shop drove the car outside, went inside to get the sales bill, came back outside to the car being stalled, wouldn't start, would crank but wouldn't start. Had it towed to my local shop, after putzing around with it for about 3 hours we fixed it, it just needed a new coil pack.
I jst replaced both of the front sway bar end links. $27.50 on EBay. the one on the passenger side was broken right off. The new set should help the Focus stick a little better in the turns.

I would tell you my day after I thought my coolant (thermostat) issue was covered only to find a puddle I would drown in when I parked in my driveway...it figures...the thermostat they installed was faulty..and there isn't one to be had in New England...you'd think they were looking for a supercharger...then my day got worse but, I don't have time to bore you with the story..I already bored Joe with it...at least, they are going to refund me my $180 and go ahead and replace 4 more bushings that they didn't because they were cracked but not completely gone for free...so I'm okay with that...
Now for my Honduh..never mind I can't even get into it...
Maybe we should all go together and trade in our foci...and get a Honda Si or WRX...if we all go together, we may get a good deal...

Or perhaps reward myself and not be so hard on myself...and by an STi or something...we all make mistakes.... I actually like my truck...it is better for everyday driving especially winter driving...

Yeah I was installing the new suspension on Saturday, so i was MIA for that one, but i did make it down for Sunday, but you weren't there and Joe had already left so I hng around for a while and jetted. I'll have to look into Owl's head and see if i have someone to watch the kids while i'm on the track. If i can get someone to watch them, then i'll be there.
