04 1.6 - Flashing management/battery lights - girls
Can you please advise or help me please, I have a Ford Focus C-Max 1.6 & it's a 54 plate.

My car started juddering and had lack of power and was like a knocking sound, so my Dad took the car to a garage and he was told the HT Leads so we changed them. The noise hadn't gone completely but was quieter!.Because the noise still remained we took it back to the garage and we changed the Spark Plugs and also changed the Coil Pack. The car worked fine for aprox 3-4 week. Then I was going round a traffic island and the car was struggling and lost power but I still managed to make it round. I then pulled-over and tried to re-start the engine but during this time the engine management light was flashing. I finally made it home. The next day I tried the car and the Battery light had come and engine mangement light was flashing on. The engine wouldn't start but was ticking. All the CD player etc work but I have no idea what's wrong with it can you please help me I don't just want to keep changing parts for the sake of it and hoping it will cure the problem. Just fed up with paying for problems all the time.


Thank you

Haley
