Anyone own a Focus automatic?
I want to know how much of the Focus drive is affected by the auto
transmission, as opposed to manuals which are well known to be a great
drive.

Got a European (British) model 1999 Focus Ghia 1.8 16v petrol.
A while ago, it developed an intermittent fault.  Effectively, the
throttle would appear to stick.  You're be driving along, foot off the
the throttle, yet it would still be gradually accelerating when it

Problem:- Car starts OK but after about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile engine cuts
out.Numerous attempts to restart are successful but after a few seconds
engine cuts out again., either in idle or revs.Finally runs and is
eventually OK for rest of the day.

interchangeable?
Will these fit on my SVT? Has anyone used them?

Hello. Recently, we had a heavy snow here, and as I
was brushing off the snow from the roof of the car the antenna snapped off.
The insert broke, leaving half in the antenna, and half in the roof mount. I
am unable to get the insert out of the roof mount section  So, my question

My girlfriend bought a second hand Focus from a Ford main dealer about 18
months ago and paid ?499 for a three year Ford Protect warranty. The car is
with another Ford main dealer at the moment to have a small gearbox repair -
the centring spring for the gearstick has broken. The ...

Unable to listen to CD-Rs on my 2000 ZTS Ford Focus factory issued stereo
system.  Reduced the write speed which I burn to x4 with some improvement.
However, during the middle and end part of a audio disc, a scratching
sound can be heard.  Sometimes the disc refuses to play ...

I have no cold air, and the compressor cycles on/off frequently.  I'd like
to recharge the air conditioner system, but I can't find the recharge (low
pressure) port.  There is a port that sticks out of a cover at the front of
the engine compartment, just above the radiator, but it ...

Does anyone know the correct way to install this.  My car did not have one
fitted, the after market part I bought states "...replacement is the exact
reverse of removal..."  noting that you must take notice of "...which way
is up..."  Well guess what?  No old one to follow and the ...

I have just brought a 2004 focus and although the standard CD player is good
I already had a sony cd/mp3 player. I brought the wiring adapter from
Halfords and on install all was really easy and the my Sony stereo worked

Do the rear wheels on the Focus estate (1999) have any adjustment on them
for tracking or alignment like front wheels normally do?  I've heard this
might be the case with the Focus rear suspension set up, and one of my
rear tyres is worn more on the outside than the inside.

Anyone know or had problems with dashboard lights not working.  The
dashboard lights i am referring to are the ones that come on when you
turn on either dim or head lights.  The first time I thought a fuse
had gone so i got to the fusebox behind the glovebox and they started

the clock loses 2 minutes. every time that I put it right, the next day it
loses it again.

We have a 2002 Focus - 5-spd - nothing overly fancy; but we like it.
Problem is in the radio/stereo. It turns itself off whenever it gets the
urge. The dealer even replaced the unit once, but it still turns off
whenever it feels like it. Then it will turn it self back on when it's ...
