Ive heard that there is a code to unlock your odometer on the focus so that you can get an mph read out, miles of petrol left and other info.

If anyone has this i would be greatful if you could share it with me!!

That's actually a great fun feature. I have used it to see, for example, how
fast the engine warms up on a winter morning. It's quite amazing how fast
this happens. The coolant temp can go from -30 C to the freezing point
before I get to the first stop sign a block away.

On the downside it shows how ineffective a petrol engine works,
transforming most energy just to heat.;(

Unless you live in the world's second coldest national capital, in which
case heat can be nice, waste or not :<)

Sure a good/fast working heat system is great, but a fraction of
the engine heat would be sufficient to heat the passenger room
just fine.

Thermal coefficient of a petrol car engine is about 22-30% in
real live. The remaining say 70-78% energy are exhaust + coolant
+ radiation. A 2l wouldn't need >100kw possible heat through
coolant just to heat up the interior. 1/10-1/20 would be pretty
fine to keep it comfortable even in Siberia. Ever stood in front
of a 5kw construction heater? Wink

I'm sure you are, in your own way...

Can I assume that you are using a web-based forum? If so, it might be better
to access through Usenet. The link you need appears, and works for me.

> So that is why i asked where it could be found!!

If you cannot get access through a proper news server, try Google groups
archive for the information you need.
