I am proposing to keep this old un' and have been searching for the lamps in the dashboard "small display unit". There are descriptive letters and numbers on the board - 20DU, Bulb BRD, 5387?6080B and there are 18 filament lamps indicating open/brake failure/outside frost etc. etc.. These small...

I propose to relamp the general display unit behind the steering wheel and replace all the lamps due to the random lifetime of these; (it's still a lucky dip). There is limited space, even with the steering wheel dropped to the lowest and best position, using the positioning lever. There are...

Hey, I have '99 Focus sedan and as a tall guy I'm fed up with the tiny seats that make my back hurt. Plus they are ugly. So I'm going to change them to better bolstered and more comfortable ones. Preferably leather or half-leather. Do any Mondeo seats fit? Or the newer model Focus seats? Really...

I am trying to identify the part name for this bracket which has snapped where it screws in just above the spark plugs. (Attach a couple of photos) Any idea what the part is so I can try and find a replacement please. Many thanks!

I replaced the motor blower heat resistor on my focus mk1 focus last week. This got the fan working again on all its settings, and the AC button lit up again. I replaced the pollen/ cabin filter too. I thought all was good - however, now on the lower fan settings there is a fume-like burning...

It's been a long time since I posted on here, but I'm trying to work out how rare one of my Mk1's is. I bought a very tidy 1996 aubergine Ghia X 24v Estate earlier this year and the reason for thinking it may be extremely rare is it's an estate with a full phase 2 RS bodykit fitted, I know of...

Hi everyone, I have a 2003 Ford Focus Mk1 1.6, I wanted to get my brakes changed but i don't know which brands are the best for my style of driving. I'm a very, let's say aggressive driver, and I harsh brake and wheel spin occasionally so I wouldn't want my brakes to catch fire. I was looking...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help here. My 1.6 Focus recently failed its MOT due to the Lambda reading. 1.07 when it is supposed to be 0.97 to 1.03. All other readings are ok (HC 55ppm, CO2 14.19%, O2 1.42%) The garage recommended some injector cleaner put through it and "an italian tune up" to...

Hi all, just replaced the two short banded pipes leading into my inter cooler, took car out and when I accelerate past 2000rpm in all gears the revs will jump to about 4500rpm with slow acceleration. It eventually speeds up and is normal again. Looks like oil is spraying out of the grill from...
