Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec, 2001

Just purchased a 2008 Focus 4 door loaded. 20,000 miles (Is that a lot

charges. Also got the Easy Care Service plan good to 100,000 miles or 60
months. Int rate 6.9% payments 200 a month...Can someone tell me

Thanks.

Short of standing on my head, I've looked around under the dash and haven't
found it. I read someplace where it was inside a little panel with a cover
but all I've seen in there so far are fuses (I even checked ...

Speaking of timing (cam) belts and chains, does anyone know which,
if any, of the Focus engines are interference and which are
non-interference?
In an interference engine, the pistons and valves share some of the same
