I've got a 2003 Zetec 1.6 where the cooling fan is always on if you have the

seems to be the opposite of a couple of other postings here where the
cooling fan doesn't come on at all when idling.

Mother-in-law is giving me Ford Focus Zx3, year: 2000.
Has been garaged for almost three years, less than 500 miles on it.
It has not been driven.
What precautions should I observe before adding gas and starting car for the

I have to post this as I am so happy that my 2001 Focus wagon is
finally  fixed after 35000 miles and three or four different alignment
shops, shock replacement and other. The left rear tire on my wagon had

I'm looking to buy a new Focus saloon ghia (as I can't find what I want
used) and I'd wondered if anyone has purchased a car from an internet

When I hit the horn on my Focus all I hear is a clicking sound coming from
the vicinity of the glove box. Is the horn itself blown or is it just a
blown fuse/relay? Anyone have any ideas? Is it a DIY fix or something best

Well finally my pioneer mp3 player has annialated the speakers in my
focus.
My darling 2 year old goddaughter managed to find the remote in the
door pocket and switch to full blast, just as a rather heavy drum and

Any one got any ideas on where i can buy, a set of ST170 alloys for my TDCi,
and will they go straight on ?

   Am wondering if someone could explain this problem to me before I go and
seriously have it out with the Ford dealer I bought the car from.
   I have noticed in the passenger footwell that the carpet is damp. ??? I

Is there any way of easily getting to the inside of the rear panels
on a 3 door 03 Focus? I managed to dent it just in front of the
wheel, its not bad and looks like it could just push back out if
I could get to the inside of it. I have tried a dent puller to do it

How do I remove the 6 disc cd changer from my 2002 Focus? I think I have a

In 1999 I bought a Focus 1.6 Zetec 5 door.
It came with a list of problems.
My local dealer had it in repeatedly and even managed to fix some of them.
Finally I almost managed to stop the tailgate rattling.
