Re: Bloody Focus broke again
Could be worse, I've just spent the evening messing around with a citroen berlingo. French. Meh.

Re: Bloody Focus broke again
Window regulator broke - but not just broke, the flippin' motor spat the metal wire off the reel! It basically looks like a tangled up fishing reel now...
Ordered a new one off Ebay for £55, and duct taped my window in for now. Whatever will go wrong with it next...give it a week! YC - I feel for you. Never had to work on one, in fact I have limited experience of different makes, I have just been spoilt (car-wise) really by working on German cars (old BMWs). They really are in a different league! |

Re: Bloody Focus broke again
You would have thought they'd have made the injector leak pipes diesel proof. And maybe piped them to somewhere where the air bubbles from a leaky one wouldn't make it run like crap.
Sorted that out, and now heater plugs have packed up for no apparent reason.

Re: Bloody Focus broke again
I quite like the 2 1/4 petrol landies. Just use a hammer.

Re: Bloody Focus broke again
i used to have an 03 focus - never had a problem apart from the aircon needed re-gassing. Is yours a pre-2003 model by any chance? Just wondering
