Had this before..

knocked the bottom of my focus on some raise bit on way to work.
engine warning light came on. took it to for.. it was a sensor in the
exhaust that had taken the impact. he said its nothing major but a new
sensor..?250. ok.. same bit of road done it again.. should forward my
bills to the councill. already done 4 tyres in the past year due to
pot holes. anyway

is there anything i can do rather rather than taking to a garage.. my
old man is a ?old school? mechanic and im more electrical..

any advice would be great

Obviously the post cat o2 sensor, which on the ST is under the car- not
incorporated into the downpipe as it is on the standard 1.8 and 2 litre
engines.

The o2 sensor is just that, an o2 sensor, and Mr Ford Dealer should not be
charging you #250 for a sensor and 15mins fitting time.

Obviously slow right down for these speed bumps!!!

Why not go aftermarket and do it yourself? The part should be a lot cheaper
anywhere but the dealership.
