Are there import duties from Guernsey?
![[TW]Fox](/data/man-of-honor/2009.png){kind=avatar}
Yes - and VAT on the import value, too, which will take it to the UK new price.
I guess this is why it's cheap. It's no use to those in the UK and realistically who in Guernsey wants a Focus RS? What would you even do with it?
You be amazed if you saw how many high performance cars there are over here....[TW]Fox;30041264 said:

Anyone help with this my engine has just lost most of its coolant on the way to work and the engine temp was going into the red at times. As I've just turned the car off the fans are still going aswell. What's happened? Take it I'm calling a tow truck? Lol.
Sure mine did something like that once.. some sort of a gasket on the air con I think... long time ago now but it definitely left a pool of something once.
Mmm.. that might have been oil actually.. man so much went wrong with it, my first one did not respond well to being a high mile commuter lol.
Turbo, drive shaft, some sort of gasket, air con, bent alloys allsorts..
It lost all its coolant and was overheating so rang breakdown he done some compression tests etc and said it looked like the Thermostat or waterpump. I had to get towed home 25 miles
. Mechanic has spent a couple hours on it and stripped a few parts and finally found a pipe had split near to the thermostat. It's a Ford only part and there is none in stock anywhere apparently they've been in order for a while so god knows how long this is gonna take to come in

Try ebay or a breaker.. I used that for my turbo and driveshaft, saved a packet and got the parts quickly.
As you might imagine there's no shortage of these things getting written off.
Least it wasn't something like the dreaded cracked liner, that's a pretty terminal way to lose lots of coolant.
For the hose is there an aftermarket hose you could get that does the same job? - Samco or similar maybe, or try ringing an ST specialist such as Collins?

In the end i got £500 back, 3 services, 2 Valets and a set of tyres.

Well we couldn't find any solid evidence of this and i showed them video's from youtube. They done some testing on another car but they weren't having success.
