oil I should use for oil changes.  Also, how frequently should I get an
oil change?

engine stall when engine is warm.  Once it stalled, I can restart but it
will stop shortly after that.  Dealer has replaced fuel filter and checked
fuel pressure.  Could not find the problem.  Any idea what could be the
problem?

It just so happens that I've already had issues with my Focus, but
today was baaaad. I was on my way out, got my kiddo strapped into her
carseat and went to start the car. The steering wheel LOCKED into place
and I couldn't get it to un-lock. I'm not a whiz with cars but anyone

I just bought a manual transmission 2005 ZX3, and it is pretty tricky
to shift into reverse.  It won't shift into reverse when I move the
shifter all the way to the right and down. Is it supposed to be this
hard?

I recently bought a 2005 Focus ZX3, and I am surprised that it has no
tachometer. Is there any way to install one?

I've noticed lately that the wipers on my 2003 Focus ZX5 (North
American) are behaving strange.  If I turn them off in mid-wipe, most

I have a 2001 1.8 Focus turbo diesel with about 52,000 miles on the
clock. I have started to notice that it smokes a bit from the exhaust
when accelerating between about 1200 and 2000 RPM (pulling away from a
roundabout or traffic lights for example). It is most noticeable from

I have a 2000 ZX3 with the Radio/CD combo. Occasionally the radio will
be off when I start the car. When I turn the radio on I get this on the
display;"1HR" and the radio/CD works normally except for turning off
unexpectedly at times. I have no idea what it means.

On my way to work Fri morning all my dashboard instruments failed, speedo,
tacho, fuel guage etc and the indicators.  I called the breakdown man out
and he said it could be the Alternator on the way out.  I could still start
and drive the car etc...  Anyway I had a tow to my ...

i have a 2001 1.6 ford focus and just come against this problem; when
i come to accelerate, mainly in 1st and 2nd gears, the car doesnt
respond that instance, then may judder slightly as if going over a
pothole etc, this is not happening everytime but quite often now.
