• New Focus Dash 27 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  Flicking through Autoexpress last night whilst in the supermarket I noticed a feature and supposed picture of the new Focus dash. It must have taken a lot of imagination by Ford to decide to 'borrow' the instrument cluster from Audi - same layout, same Aluminium trim, same computer readout block

  An attack by vandals has left deep scratches in the roof of my year-old metallic grey Ford. My dealer is talking re-spray, but I've seen adverts for firms which paint only the scratches. Many of these companies apparently work out of the back of a van. Has anyone used one of these firms? Can

  Taking my 1.8 petrol Escort to have it's cambelt changed at the Ford main agent, they've told me i'll need to drop it off this evening instead of tomorrow morning as it has to stand for a few hours first.
