Default Anyone on FFOC forum?

Tried registering but never got a validation email. Emailed admin but never got a response.

Got some very Focus specific questions that I am struggling to find answers to!

I heard it had a bad reputation. Problem is, most Ford forums are pretty crap now if you need technical help. They're all dead.

Need info and dimensions on flywheels and clutches for MK1 Focus. I'd also quite like to buy a flywheel for a MK1 Focus 2.0, but that seems surprisingly difficult!

The joys of social media. The way it's killing forums seems to mean that a lot of expertise has disappeared. Used to be so easy to get the answer to technical questions. Facebook etc just aren't as good for that sort of thing.

Don’t do faceache and don’t intend to either, I’m a member on another model specific RS forum and it’s pretty lively on there, always plenty of members online to help you out with tech info, they also send you stuff for free to help you out even if you’re a new member on there, regional meets, club stands at shows, long and short of it plenty going on without the bull crap on certain other sites

Whenever I need to know anything about a car I look up posts on a forum and you generally find the info or help you need....that doesn’t work on face book.

It is such a shame that it kills the traffic on forums, I don’t get it though as many of us miss the forums.

Yeah it's a shame. I actually got more help on a US Focus forum than I did on any UK site, but still never got a true answer to my question. Just had to buy some parts and try to work it out myself!
