  • Ford Ka 54 - Sump plug helicoil 21 Feb 2010 (Forum)
    I see in Telegraph Motoring 20/02/10 that HJ blames road humps for a stripped sump plug thread in a 54 Ka. I would prefer to point the finger at the service 'gorillas' who give the sump plugs an extra tweak 'for luck'. The modern Fords appear to have their plugs at the rear of the (soft) aluminium

    I am not sure how but I have lost the key for my Ford locking wheel nuts on my Focus.

When I had finished my 'Reginald Molehusband' manoeuvre I was astonished to discover a blue oval 'Ford' badge and the word 'Focus' impressed into a chrome strip along the boot. Closer inspection revealed that it was a Focus coupe. It had a UK plate and was right

    Today I had the orange coolant replaced on my ford focus (petrol). When the technician at the Ford garage was doing the job I heard him reving the engine and holding it there for about 1-2 minutes. Is it usual to do this when changing out the coolant and would it do any damage to the engine
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 1999 1.8 petrol- coolant question ? 10 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    I own a Ford Focus 1.8 petrol and it is a T reg (1999) with nearly 77k miles. The coolant has never been completely renewed because Ford say 10 years for this. Also, because I am not the original owner, I think that the coolant pump is still the original and so I am worried that it might either
  • Ford Focus (1998 - 2004) - 2001/51 1.6 Zetec Cambelt 28 Jan 2008 (Forum)
    Hi All, I'm looking at buying a 2001/51 1.6 Zetec Ford Focus. Done 40k miles, but can't see evidence of cambelt change - it's from a franchised Ford dealer, and they can't seem to say for sure when it should have this done. They're telling me it that on a Zetec engine it's at 100k miles/10 years
