When I press the rear windscreen heater switch the green light does not come
on, I'm unsure whether the heater comes on. Also the a/c switch next to it
also fails to light up when pressed. The fuses are OK so what do I do to fix
the problem?

The air blower in my Focus no longer heats up the air - just blows out cold

Bit of a pain trying to demist/defrost the car on these icy mornings with no

coolant both look fine. When I pulled the plugs I noticed that one of

My car was running perfectly today. I had excellent power. I then
turned off the motor for a few minutes, and when I went to restart it,
I heard this aweful pinging noise from my motor and it was tough to
start my car and keep it running.

I replaced the cluthch about 18 months ago- under warranty-FORD also
changed the flywheel FOC- car is out of warranty now and yet again the
flywheel has gone tits up-I am being quoted over 600 quid to replace
clutch and flywheel- the mechanic says you have to have duo mass-
