Anyone know if it's possible to get a TDCi engine in the US?  And if so,
roughly how much?

I have a 1999 Ford Focus 2.0i Ghia.  When you come to stop the revs stick at
approx 2000 rpm for a few seconds and then die away so that the car is
struggling to keep running.  Sometimes it cuts out altogether.  I have
changed the plugs and leads and today have had a new idle ...

I have a ford focus ghia 1.6i,1991.Someimes there are stuttering type
movements whilst accelerating,this can happen at any speed but only when
accelerating,its fine when idling.It doesnt happen all the time,any help
appreciated.

Everyone seems to be of the opinion the interval for changing the timing
belt is 10,000km.  Is this correct - I thought it was 10,000 miles.  I
have a 1999 1.6 Zetec.
Having said that, I had my focus second hand and the history showed that a

I have a 2000 Focus with a Zetec engine. My engine has almost 100,000 km  on
it and is due for a timing belt change.
Has anyone changed this belt on their own?   if so what problems did they
have????

If they do can I ask about the state of the leather seats? Mine's gone all
baggy but I think Ford have a revised Sparco seat with stitching which
prevents this.. Anyone know?

Have a focus and the windows steam all the time if  I have the heating on.
How can I avoid steaming windows and use the heating.

I see the car must be dependable as I do not see to many complaints and no
posts. How would one go about doing up my 2.0 Zetec. Thanks

Can anyone tell me what the diiferences were in  2003 between the
California cars and others?

A question for TDCi owners.  How soon after an oil change is your oil black?
I was surprised to see the oil already black within a short time.  My Mazda
MX-5 could do 10'000 km on synthetic and it would still come out dark gold.
But then again, this is my first diesel, so I don't ...

Looking for a performance cam for my buddy's focus 2.0 sohc spi. Can't seem
to find much for this particular engine, although there are lots of
offerings for the zetec and svt versions. Does anyone know of a
manufacturer who makes something for this application? If not, does anyone

I just bought a barely used  '03 ZX3.  It has a mix of options--no pwr locks
or windows, but fog lights, 6cd changer, cruise, ABS I think.  Anyway, I
love it.
But, I notice that now that cold weather has set in--35-40 farenheit

My S reg 1.8 Zetec makes a most disconcerting metallic rotating (schwip
schwip schwip schwip) type sound at 3500rpm regardless of gear.
Any ideas?
thanks!
