Default BIG Thanks to Matt Lewis

I gave Matt a phone call just before Christmas asking did he have a crank case hose for a Focus RS, he didn't but said if i could get one to him he'd have it made up. Well like always, he never fails to deliver & got a pic yesterday of the hose made up & asking could a get the other part of the hose sent to him so he can sell the sets.

Thanks Arkid...

I've just ordered a shed load of parts off Matt for the focus, he even sourced me some valves from america. He also offered me all his part numbers so i could get the parts cheaper from work.

Not many would do that, obviously i refused and told him just to sort it all

i got stuff from matt a month ago,
whatever happened my card details did nt go through for him,
he still posted the stuff cause he knew i was in a rush for it,
even tho it was nt paid for and just wrote on the invoice to contact him
not many traders would do that
top service as always

Is that the hose for the one way valve that goes onto the inlet manifold?

Ahh right thought it looked like the one......roose already make a replacement kit for them, they are prone for splitting aren't they causing allsorts of running issues/misfires!
But to be honest, the roose ones are made ever so slightly too thick and tend to pop off so hope these are better and made of slightly thinner gauge hose
