  • Ford Focus II (2004 - 2007) - 07 1.8 TDCI Cambelt change 19 Nov 2009 (Forum)
    I've just been told by my local Ford dealer that the cambelt change interval on my 2007 Focus 1.8TDCI is 125,000 miles or 10 years. 125,000 miles! Thats the biggest interval I've ever seen for a cambelt - is that right? Seems a massive mileage. I'm on 75,000 now so I expected around 80-100,000
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8 Valve clearance adjustment necessary ? 31 Mar 2009 (Forum)

  • Used Ford Foci. 10 Jan 2005 (Forum)
