On my 2001 euro model Focus 'wagon' I cannot find any control that
dims the dashboard instrument light(s).

Hello, I have just bought a 1.8tddi (my first diesel) which seems to

I just bought a leftover Focus and am happy with the choice.  The oil was
the only thing I questioned, 5-20 synthetic blend?  I assume that full

I have been round all the steering / suspension joints and bushes with a

I have a brand new Focus (UK) . It is a fine car, but I am disappointed with
the heating / ventilation system. I cannot find how to keep my feet warm &
my head cool. The face-level vents all blow heated air, there is no fresh

charged battery and heated engine.
