  • Ford Focus - engine misfire 20 Sep 2011 (Forum)
    causing tracking on the spark plug leads where they enter the engine and Ford recommend a dose of their silicon spray. Has anyone heard about this? It is not a great problem because it does not happen too much. They are the original plug leads so maybe it is to be expected?

    My Ford Focus has an annoying rattle which starts when the car reaches 50 mph.  It comes from behind the glovebox and sounds like a piece of paper or plastic trapped in the left vent. I have been in touch with another 2007 Focus owner with exactly the same problem.  He also
  • Ford Focus 2 - Soft paint 6 Jun 2011 (Forum)
    etc on it. These are only cosmetic, and don't go through the paint, but still look a mess. Is this the norm for modern paints,  are they particularly bad on Fords, or is it just the paint on my car that is poor? Does anyone else have any observations on this?

  • 2000 Ford Focus CL MK1 (hatch) - Why have different front and rear tyre sizes? 20 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    Hello, Is there any reason why you'd put different size wheels on a simple Ford Focus? I've just had mine serviced and the mechanic noticed the disparity. Front wheels are smaller than the rear ones but the previous owner would have had this done and I've no idea why (175/65/14 vs 175/70
  • Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) - 96 door lock problems 8 Jan 2011 (Forum)
    The drivers side door lock on my 96 fiesta has developed an annoying problem. It'll lock, but won't unlock. My 95 Mondeo had exactly the same problem not long back so I'm thinking this must be quite common with Ford door locks. My red key doesn't work either. I've tried squirting a bit of WD40
