You just need to change the stalk - doing so is a piece of cake:

...although since you live in the UK the dealer will probably rip you
off on the price of the part :-)

Mark,

Check first how many wires are going to the existing switch. Search here:-

http://forum.ffoc.co.uk/forum

Ther price and finis codes can also be found. IIRC it is also possible to
use certain Mondeo switches, these are apparantly cheaper than the one for
the Focus!

I seem to recall that if 10 wires are present, it's a straight swap, if only
9 then you need to add a wire. Unless experienced in such things you may not
want to do that.
