For sale is our company car for the last 17 years. It's a 2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca, 3.0 petrol Auto, 4WD and around 160k miles.

Why Focus mk2 front drop links need replacement #ford #fordfocus
Can I use the same interior for my Focus, even though it’s not the same as yours? It doesn’t have an armrest, and the cigarette lighter isn’t in the same place-it’s located near the gear shifter.
I think it is possible with a slight mod to the fixings, but i never done it before.
Do you need to unplug the battery before you replace this? Mines just startd playing up!!
Not necessarily as ignition was off and it is just a connector that we unplug and plug back in. If more wiring work was needed with exposed wires, then the battery should be disconnected, but this isnt the case
Thanks. I'll look to buy one. Just need to find the oe number so I get the right part.
Bought one this morning and replaced it. Works perfectly fine now. Done exactly how you mentioned in the video. 👍 Not good for big hands though!!
@ thanks, glad it helped. Yes, working on this car with big hands can be tricky
Thank you, doing this job soon on my 2008 Focus.
Nice one, good luck!

You should first remove the small vent, you have access to the tabs through the vent itself, that give you access to the tabs of the big vent, without breaking anything.
Fair point. This was done nearly 4 years ago so we learn a few things during that time
This happened to my focus wheel nuts . Solid chrome nuts are available from euro car parts at a very affordable price 😊
Yes, this was done nearly 4 years ago and they didn't sell this stuff. Mind you, these were cheap and still going strong
Its worth bearing in mind that not all have the under engine plastic tray even from the factory 😊
Good, one thing less to do.
It's a bit difficult to see what "the right way round" is when you keep spinning the blades around.
Everyone else managed...
@@GentilsGarage Who knows?
Not sure what model or trim level MK3 focus that is but my 2014 mk3 titanium has parking lights adjustable from the control panel below the right side air vent👍🏽
That could be unique to the titanium trim
You can see that there is no great difficulty in carrying out the task, but rather a good will, some tools and a little knowledge to not mess things up. Your video is spectacular. Thank you.
Thank you very much
Does anyone have any idea how much this would cost at a garage? Is it worth me doing this myself. Thanks
I expect a garage to charge a couple of hours of labour. It is worth doing it yourself
Great video. Anyone done mk2 cmax struts. Nightmare wiper mechanism has to be removed to get a third nut
Thank you!
We now have a 2005 Renault Scenic, and we want to buy a 1.2 TCe 130 Scenic after this one. How's the reliability? Sound isolation?
I don't know much about the 1.2tce, but sound insulation on these cars is good
Thanks dude! Was lookin for a new parcel shelf, you've saved me a lot!
Thank you, glad it helped
Portuguese chap? I’ve always been fond on the mk2 Focus, maybe because of Top Gear, maybe because it was launched when I was young. It aged gracefully, which is always a plus, and the 2.5 of the ST or RS sounds beautiful
Yes, I am! Indeed, they are still excellent cars and I do think they might outlast many MK3's
You could just put a bluetooth speaker in your BMW or in any car and use that, right? In stead of the built-in speakers
Yes, but the built in speaker would be just a temporary solution. I will use a cassette bluetooth adapter once the radio is fixed.
Brought the same thing had to cut down the bolt a bit because it was knocking on the cross member when driving
That must have been very annoying
I got error code D900, what does this one mean because it’s not on your list. And also my navigation system is suddenly not working anymore, it is stuck on the loading screen with the ford logo. Is this maybe why I got that code. Do you know how I can fix it?
Sorry, can't help with that ás the list of codes I had was limited. Have you removed the unit and disconnected it? Might need a few minutes to be unplugged from power to reset
thanks for the video. in my opinion, the car has the most beautiful color that Renault offered on the Scénic III. Genuine Renault 17" Black Sari or Black Pragma rims would suit your car very well.
Thank you. Yes I like the blue colour which is a change from the monotony of greys, blacks and whites. I agree that different wheels would make it look better
Yeah, i'm not so keen on the rear of the STD Mk3 I think the grand looks a little better (even the MK2's better) looks a little better and they definately sorted it out by the MK4
I completely agree
Please help. I have only 1 key. It snapped in half and the key bit dropped off. I have lost the imoboliser chip somewhere i looked everywhere. Its defo somewhere on the driveway. What can i do now? Can i get a new key cover and transfer the board over and program a new imboliser chip that is in the new key this way??? Or is it a dealer only job??
Hi, since you lost the immobiliser, I'm afraid that's only a dealer job
Great video. Straight to point. Explanation exemplary. Edited to perfection, e.g. not watching undoing all screws to remove glovebox, like many tubers would. You have gained another sub
Thank you very much. I try and do my best, although I have dragged on some other videos. Practice makes it perfect 🙂
Thank you so much.👍
Thank you, glad it helped
Excellent video
Thank you very much
simple and clear! ❤Ford focus mk2
Thank you
Can you make a update video about the jack 4 years later
Not much to say except that it's still working great and never failed.
A good video, and thank you. But as I have already said this is rubbish engineering / design in the first place. This is what happens when cars are made by some kid with a computer game......
Thank you. I feel that this car was a step back in quality compared to the Mk2
Basically, it boils down to Ford's lousy engineering /design ! (Yes, I know they're not alone ! )
Yes. All down to cost
Who does this CRAP text ? eg. When he says "wet vac" that is put "wet back" - a mistake due to his slight accent !
I think it might be the auto translator ás it sometimes it can misinterpret words. I'll try and manually correct it later.
My mk2.5 ford focus uses h11 front fog bulbs are they same as h8?
Not quite the same as the connector tabs are slightly different
That would be a nice project for Furious Driving 😅
did you replace because of rumble and vibration or just vibration... thank you
Just vibration
Would love to take it on as a project, but too many projects here as it is and no room. Unless you'd swap fro a mk3 rusty golf :D
Bodywork repairs are not my strongest point 😂
I don’t get it why airbag is connected with the seat. I thought this cable was only for seatbelt alarm.
The front seats have an occupancy sensor connected to the airbags.
@ Thank you for answer !
Very good video! Did this cure the problem?
Thank you. Yes, and 3 years on the car is still dry as a bone
