- The mk2 ford focus face lifted version introduced in 2007,
After having a good look at the titanium 1,6 litre petrol model i have to say , what a nice looking motor car with what would seem , not all that many faults. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It's not a Focus, but I recently lucked out with acquiring an '08 Mondeo 2.0 Titanium... and I'm blown away by how good of a car you can get these days for £2k. It's quick, beautiful, comfortable, economical and reliable. The bodywork is practically immaculate and it even came with a near-flawless MOT history. I mean what the heck more could you want! Absolutely loving it 😍
@Back in the Day Yes, she definitely was! 😎
Hi Alan it sounds great. Just to add the mondeo from 08 sufferers from the same bonnet release mechanism issue as the fucus.
@@brianfearn4246 Cheers Brian 👍🏼 I've not even opened the bonnet yet 😄 but it's going in for a full service very soon. Wasn't aware of any bonnet issues with these, but definitely good to know!
Same here, I bought few days ago 08 Mondeo Titanium 2.0 Gasoline + LPG for less than 5kEUR in Bulgaria, which considering the current second hand car market situation is almost a good deal. You get a lot of car for your money with an old school reliable engine and the only irritating downside generally for this Focus/Mondeo generation is the quality of the dashboard plastics - they are covered with a very low quality coating and wear off laughably bad.
Oh, and one more thing on topic: My gf has the Focus Mk 2.5 2010 1.6 Zetec engine + LPG. Great cheap little car for city driving, but kinda sluggish on open roads no matter on gasoline or LPG.
2009 1.6 TDCi estate. One of the best cars I've had. Handling wise it is miles ahead of say the Golf. It's big enough but not too big. And the diesel gets insane milage. Looks ok too.
lol, fanboy. Drive a real car sometimes.
Yes the fact they all have decent rear suspension helps a lot with the handling
but MPG to power. its so poor. a 2.0 CR in BMW consumptiom less fuel and its faster. and of course all these leaks in 1.6 HDi
@@Fonz89uk i dont think so. e46 almost nothing to reapair at now in focus i buy 3 turbos in 3 times leaks of ON under injectors e46 only 1 turbo change. its silent, good handling and fast car if i need. focus is so British car for me. poor quality many problems PSA tdci still leak.
@@Fonz89uk focus 1.6 tdci cost me an another engine block. mechanic want money for swap too. but you are right used and new parts for E46 is not cheap. For focus there was many parts but worn out.
As a MK2 1.6 owner myself, I welcome more Focus videos 😄
This is the most comprehensive video I’ve ever seen on a car👏🏾👏🏾
cheers e m
Been looking at reviews for the MK 2.5 as I want one as a first car, a 2 day old review that I've randomly come across at 1am in 2022 is my sign to get one 😂
I used to look after a fleet of about 40 mark 1 focus models when they first came out , I was fitting clutch kits before the dealers as they were used nearly 24hours a day , mobile opticians during the day and emergency doctors at night , the rear suspension arms are crap for bolts seizing, could springs easy if you have special tools like we have Alan , had one once that blew many control units inside the car , it was under warranty, turned out to be faulty Ford spark plugs giving out an EMF , blowing hrw , radio , heated front window , speakers , all sorts , took the Ford guru 2 months to sort it at the dealership, keep at it Alan 💪💪💪💪👍👍
Just Bought my very first Mk2 Focus and a 1.6 petrol, after my MK4 mondeo was written off.
Very Suprised how quick and economical it is, had to fix the heater resistor but that's about it 2 owners from new and stamp services since February this year.
Price £1500
1.6 16v 74kw 2006, ostaće u mojoj porodici, zauvek... pozdrav za tebe iz Srbije...
We have two of those Mk2 Face-lift Focuses, both in Zetec specs with 1.8tdci and both had wet belt to chain concersion..
your TH-cam legacy continues..
Got my Mk2 2006 Focus Ghia during Covid and cant complain. Sacked off my diesel for a petrol (glad I did now) due to DPF and the complexities of diesels. These Zetec petrol engines are cheap as old boots to fix, just as you said though if you look after them then they look after you! That goes for any car really. Apart from the typical Ford rust issues its been a reliable beast. Ive replaced a fair few bits on it as it had been a school run car previously and run into the ground. Engine was mint though. Its so quiet its like driving an old coach on the motorway with cruise on. The heated windows are a god-send. I know I will need to replace it at some point but Im loathed to as all the newer cars need to be plugged into Nasa to sort them out. Got a friend with an Audi that literally had to program his new battery to his car....WTF!!! You can sod that!!!!!
I'll do you one better: 2005 Ford Focus. 2.0 petrol (Duratec HE). Titanium spec. 3dr. still going strong in 2022. the only real issue I've had has been the AC which has been quite delicate (split pipes, replaced condensor, regassing etc) other than the boot leaking (common fault) and the instrument cluster starting to fail (again another common fault among the mk2 and mk2.5 (facelift) its been a solid car. its took me to plenty of places and all taken in its stride. who would've thought stuffing a mondeo engine into a focus would be a stroke of genius, as its super fun to drive, but is equally at home munching motorway miles.
to be honest I've took what i consider to be good care of it. to the point that i could have the bodywork cleaned up, stick a private reg on it, and no-one would ever believe its a 17/18 year old car.
oh and SIDENOTE: the Mk2 was introduced in 2005. not 2003. its more common to see the mk1 as an '05, with some of the EARLY early mk2s being a '54 plate.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: the Mk2 is better looking than the facelift, imo.
We had an 07 mk3 1.8 zetec. An absolute cracking motor. Bought it in 2010, sold it in 2021, we did about 70k miles on it. Had it serviced regularly as well and the engine was sweet as a nut . Cost wise, a coil pack, radiator, tyres, coil spring here and there, brake pads and shoes and a battery. We only got rid because we were going done to one car and it wanted some work doing for its mot. Which is the the reason i fell out with the local ford dealer, as they tried to rip me off. I sold it to my cousin, who is still using it. One of the best value money cars i have ever had.
Had a 1.6 Zetec '10 plate for a few years. Reliable, dependable, nothing went wrong and flew through all the MOT's until I had to trade it in for a Galaxy. But I agree so much plastic in that interior! Lovely to drive.
Hi Alan Nice one !! I have always liked the Focus, and with today's so called modern ish stuff with add blue injectors and DPF's giving any amount of problems. In my book it's about having a decent vehicle and getting from A to B and NOT having to call out a mechanic every five minutes to sort out stupid problems. ❤ THE CHANNEL.
Had 4 and still got 2, easy to fix and cheap to run 👍
Such a nice car!!!! I love Ford! and excelent cinema production too.
Nice vid. My ex-wife has a mk4 1.6i Titanium with Powershift. Nice car to drive and easy to maintain.
I've got the rareish mk 2.5 2011 Focus "Sport" with the same engine. I've owned the car since 2013 and it had 8k on the clock when I bought it. I've just hit 90k on the clock! It has NEVER left me down. The biggest thing I had to replace was the clutch last year. I've not had to replace anything that wasn't age related such as the windscreen seal at the bottom.
The car has been perfect! I drive it like I stole it and still get 38mpg. I've saved up for a new car a number of times over the years but i end up just spending the money on the family as my car still works fine!
RIP Focus😢. Doesn't seem too long ago when the mk1 was launched. In October 1998 at the NEC, I was among thousands upon thousands of people sitting in a hall surrounding a brand new State Blue Focus Ghia, watching Michaela Strachan demonstrating to us how to open the bonnet.🤣God, I am old!
Had one in the family 2008 for 13 years never gave trouble only the 1.4 was sluggish and the drums stuck occasionally
Original coil pack only expense was the timing belt and water pump and battery very reliable
I've seen loads of the mk2 and mk3 focus rear trailing arm bushes splitting from the centre or breaking away around the outside, made my own tool that fits perfectly for pushing the old bush all the way though
I bought a -07 Mk2 pre facelift 1.8 Flexifuel in August for the equivalent of 800 pounds with 310000 kilometres (close to 200000 miles) behind it. MOT with a broken spring Monday, fixed and clean MOT yesterday. Runs like a champ. You really don't feel the miles. A bit of surface rust underneath but to be expected with Swedish salty winter roads. And the throttle body needs a clean. But besides that an awesome car. Thanks for your great videos. Cheers from Sweden 🍻
Two holes in bottom i have. and trunk leak, a door handle not working, of course ECU on front wheel some crash and cost is giant. many problems with repairs example rear drum breaks (adjusting a handbrak isn't easy), and breaking cables in doors. Bigger than old golf 4 but more crapy and rusty than golf 5.
I have a 2007 petrol 1,6 l. The best car I’ve ever owned. Everything still works. Only issue after 255.000 km it’s going up and down in idling when the engine gets hot.
Great review Alan. I always liked the Mk2 Focus. Never owned one myself, but rented a good few of them in Spain over the years. They drive superbly. That Titanium looks the business. Cheers. Vivian
I had a 2009 Fiesta which looks to have the same 1.6 petrol engine as this. Fuel economy wasn't amazing, I'd get low 40s on a motorway run but it was pretty solid - I owned the car from 7k miles and took it up to 125k miles in 3 years and in that time the only thing I ever had to do beyond normal basic servicing was a new clutch, a new radiator fan and a replacement throttle body. I gave it to my father in law a few years back and while it's had to have a few parts replaced due to age (AC condenser, couple of suspension bushes and a few other bits and pieces), it's now on 168k miles and the engine is still going strong. It's really quite impressive but I guess the 118k I put on it being almost all motorway miles was quite an easy life for it since it didn't even need a single suspension component changing until about 145k miles.
Good video Alan, I've had my 2010 focus since virtually new its just done over 100k I've done all the basic maintenance myself and recently had the timing belt and water pump replaced the only thing that failed recently was the bonnet catch mechanism behind the grill and yes it happens when the bonnet is closed and won't open .I've replaced it with a new plastic arm version from amazon. If this does happen you just need to pull up the plastic grill from the bottom and remove the key barrel from behind and brutally pull off the old cable from the bonnet lock until your left with a screw driver slot at the lock itself and your able to use a crew driver to unlock the bonnet.
Hole in one Alan, very good. We had a Mk1 that stayed in the family until the cill rot got it. Mechanics were still great. We now have a Volvo V40 series 2. (Focus with different badge) lovely motor.
Good stuff Monika and Alan, them mk2 Focus were a good dependable car👌👍🙂
Got given a 1.6 petrol cmax zetec with 30k miles. Lovely town drive but really wish it was the diesel. Costing a fortune at 32mpg!
Think the Mondeo mk4 which was from the same era as the mk2 Focus definitely aged better then the Focus especially the estates
Had a few recovered to me by the AA needing "Starters" also mysteriously having abs faults : ) ,ECU testing are the guys to sort those clusters, nice little earner.
Good vid alan .. yeah I agree with you there not bad cars for the money ...cheers for tonight's vid have a good weekend ADIOS
Cheer Alan....good timing as I just bought one😁 bit more thirsty than my old mk1 focus..both 1.6 petrol...like it really...Will keep it around👍🏖
My wifes mark one focus 1.6 ebeny is still going strong in was a run out Edition so it came with lots of extras like leather seats it is also very good on sipping fuel it can out corner most of the monde cars on the road
My stepsister has had hers for donkey years and she doesn't look after it. They are good cars Alan
THANKIOU
Yeah was using one that had done 114,000 in first three years still drove and looked like new including interior probably motorway miles, mind did need few suspension components for first mot.
We have a mk2 2.0 tdci ghia estate. I really like the looks of the car. It is reliable if looked after, ours was gutted before we bought it, so it has no cat and dpf. It was also remaped, so the engine is very punchy, but the flywheel rattles a lot. Handling is very nice and precise, gears also feel solid and precise. I would say rust is an issue with the front fenders. They rot at the bottom, but then again ours got no plastic trim there, maybe its because its pre facelift, idk. The car has good stock music, speaking for the sony player from the heigher trim, very clear noise, solid base. It has a built in aux port, so id say its actually better than my honda accords premium audio system from the same age. Overall you get a lot of car for the money, id say one of the nicer options from vehicles of the same class and era.
Great vid Alan can beat a ford reliable and easy to fix and not a bad price on parts 👍
I have a mk2 18 TDCI est. love this car 50 plus mpg 2006 156000 miles. No oil leaks or use any oil
Got 140,000 on my 09 1.8tdci, gonna see it to 200,000 then wetbelt etc needs done again so I'll get rid as I'm not paying that again 😀
Hi. Bought a 2006 Focus Zetec automatic for my daughter 5 years ago for €500 , now the asking price was three times that but I haggled really well. The only problem was the instrument cluster, sometimes it wouldn't start and throw out all kinds of faults. Little tip when this happens, slap the top of dash over instrument cluster and it will kick into life. I removed the cluster myself dropped into a local company and they soldered the the connections on the circuit board for €100.
Hello Allen just repaired my Audi 2.0 tdi CAGB engine after cam belt failure, teeth came away allowing it to go out of time only after 2 years and 40,000 mls.
Like your engines the valves are vertical to the pistons broke the rockers and lifters but valves ok this info might be useful to some of your viewers. Greetings from Ireland.
MK2.5 ❤❤❤❤
😊
My youngest lad is learning to drive in a automatic and I will be looking for a facelift mk2 Focus.
The zetec engines are bombproof and these have proper old school auto boxes instead of the dodgy dual clutch fitted to the mk3s.
My girlfriend had a Focus cabriolet and it never missed a beat upto 140k.
Great cars.
Mazda 4F27E boxes are very reliable! That's the perfect choice
Nice one Alan! We have a Mk2.5 1.6 Auto, similar spec to this one but no keyless start or heated seats. 105k miles and the interior still looks new. It's been great. Look out for water in the boot, especially in this weather. Ours leaks where the bumper joins the bodywork on the right, under the tailgate. A bead of silicone sorts it out. Engine is a bit noisy for the first 5 minutes from cold (I noticed the one in your video sounds very similar) but our local dealer said that it's nothing to worry about.
thanks shaun
ford focus. i bought one my bro found as i needed a car..love it.. 2.0tdci, goes like a cut cat.. 5 lt 100..2008, only done 170 ks.. bro has the 2.5t duratec. kills commodores here in aus.. very fast. i sound like a 16 yr old.. im 65..@@alan4x
I wouldn’t call it economical at 32-35mpg. My mk1 same setup did 35ish mpg but obv lighter. With the Mazda auto box they’re pretty solid. Good machine polish and that one featured would be quite nice! Love your enthusiasm for the old Fords Alan
its only stable at high speed. nothing more. many parts die fast and
and these thresholds with the floor. although there is varnish underneath, they can be rusty.
I had a mk2 1.6 ghia... Was a nice car, was really slow and got 195 miles from a full tank about 19/25mpg that's why I sold it for a diesel, maybe mine was broken, and there was always a pool of water in the boot
Good bread and butter cars as we'd say
Had a mk1 focus & the mk2 only issue was the bonnet latch which is a common fault but a great car to drive
I've got a mk4 focus estate now 2.0 tdci 140 chipped to 170 Its a proper sleeper car leaves golf gtds for dust
to the left, to the right , you pump it up, you pump it up it`s all right👌👌 ......
How I wish you lived in Belgium!!! I would come to you even for 200 km.
Love my focus zetec 1.6 tdci on 145000 still going strong.
Common faults are clocks bushes. Not much goes wrong cam belt do before 125000. I am getting 48mpg around town and 57mpg on motorway
with 350kkm you got another engine. its can leaks everywhere
and Bmw 2.0 Commonrail get 6,6 L per 100km with more power (its a fast car not daily focus)
Good afternoon Mr mondingo man woohoo 🙌 I’ve got a 1.6 tdci with 190,000 on it 😊I change the oil every 10k and it runs as sweet as a nut 🔩 Them bonnet catches are a right pain in the butt to do if they fail like mine did 😮Maybe if you do get a failed that you can’t open the bonnet it might make a good video 🤔 Until the next time see ya 👋🏻
Mazda 3 generation III and that ford focus share the same chassis and running gear. I've a 160000 on my 3 and it still handles like it's on rails. Slava Ukrani 💛💙
excellant
oh good love that car ri have 2007 ff2 1.8 but feclift looks good
Loved my MK2.5 focus. And yes it was the 1.6TDCI which had absolutely no problem IF you looked after it. Modded in auto wipers lights, the fancy digital cluster, headlamp washers, rear disc brakes, ST boost / oil temp cluster and oil separator oh, and mapped it to 145hp. I couldn't recommend it enough, but, If you don't service every 6k and keep the DPF clear you will have issues, terminal issues! The mk MK3.5 is by comparison, somewhat boring but more comfortable and my mk4 is garbage.
Please keep mk2 focus’s video’s coming Alan 😀👍👍👍
2006 Ghia. Well equipped, good to drive. Wheel bearing needed replacing and water was getting into the cabin. Not sure if that's a common problem. Tried to fix the issue, couldn't so sold it.
😊
I've had 3 Mk3 Mondeo's, the last being a Ghia X diesel auto. My lad has a very good ST TDCi hatchback. I see that your example has cruise control, probably an option with the push button starting. That's been the problem for me buying a Focus, I'd probably have to go 2.0 petrol auto and either Ghia or a model with cruise as I consider that essential. I also wouldn't drive anything with a Powershift gearbox so I'm rather limiting my choices.
Buttons on the right of the steering wheel are for cruise control speed adjust and ‘Resume’ There is a separate stalk to the left of the column for the radio. I’m surprised you didn’t know this being a Mondeo man as they are the same.
There is a rear coil removal tool for these from Laser tools, the one we have , coil packs are nearly a service item too, dont fail many on mot other than the stuff you pointed out , overall they are good.
No tool required for rear springs, drop the lower arm.
@@boabm6522 Bob the bolts seize in the bush sleeve thats why they brought out the tool, it was stated in the video.
@@clueless6559 sorry, read comments before watching.
Mk2 facelift focus is a solid and dependable dayliy. Don't rate the AF27E gearbox at all but all the engines are good solid choices.
I have the same model, but for 10£ you can easily undercoat with spray tar the whole bottom.
Piston slap on that Focus at idle it sounds like, had a 1.25 that sounded similar - new engine under warranty.
I have a 2008 Zetec 1.6 Facelift petrol model and I love it. It's one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned along with the two Mondeo's I once owned. It's comfortable on long trips perhaps a little bit thirsty on fuel but a nice smooth engine nevertheless and nice smooth manual gear-change on mine. Only niggle I've ever had is the bonnet lock mechanism which I've had to replace a couple of times. Just a very poor design feature. The internal release is better by far. I've been looking at the Mk3's but in all honesty I much prefer the design of Mk2 and I'd much rather have the 1.6 engine over the new tiny little 1.0 Ecoboost.
cheers for your comment michael
Four of the last five cars I’ve had have either been Focus mk2s or C-Max mk1/1.5. It’s likely that my next car will also be a Focus mk2. And probably the one after that.
My mk2.5 was a great car mpg was shocking though at 33mpg apart from that awsome little car
I have a 2009 Mondeo SW 2.5 litre. Love love it. But the seats get dirty easily.
My dad had a escort mk1 focus and mk2 they have been really good cars not much that goes wrong but the mk1 died in the end of an electrical issue but the mk2 is proving well but I do like my fords
😊
i LOVE keyless, got 9 fords and 4 (Mondeo mk4) got keyless and its sooo nice :)
is it really a strain to put a key in ignition and turn it?
@@robevans8625 Yes. 😁
Got a Focus 2011,the 1.6 petrol one with 101 hp classic one. It s been a tank in terms or reliability.
I have focus 2(2006) duratec 2.0 mechanical gear. Perfect car.
😊
Down side is the 1.6 only has rear drum brakes. But you can swap the rear bearings disc , brake calipers and handbrake cable from the 1.8 or 20 lt. into the 1.6. Which make better braking. Done it on sons. Car
Perhaps. But is it really necessary on a little car or just a sales fad, like having 5 wheel nuts..
Guy's what can is say more, this car is really, really good consturction to drive, engine with changes engine oil every 10 000km, and withouts problems, also 7/100km liter benzin this is nothing ^_^
I hate it when i see a shiny looking car, and the undercarriage looks like this, i keep my car the exact opposite looking fresh,clean and maintained under and decent on the outside, thats the right way i think
Hi Alan another cracking and informative video. These focus seem to be quite decent vehicles. How come your boss only acquires used cars for the fleet as opposed to new?. Adios amigo!!....
Didn't care much for the "button thing" either - that is, until I got one myself.
Now? I wouldn't have it any other way.
Yea, reminds me of stop/start, hated the idea and would never have one myself....until I got one, and now if I sit in someone elses car and it doesn't turn off at the lights, I snigger.
Hi Alan . I need your help I have a mk4 Mondo diesel wagon 2008 300000k plus and been having lots of problems with the power steering ok so 8 or 9 months ago the OG rack started locking up turning left so we change the rack was fine for 4 months and the pump started whining and shaundering so put another pump on it was a bitch to bleed but got there in the end was fine for a few weeks and got hard to steer again so did some research and replaced reservoir and filter new green fluid again flushed it with a 1 liter and bleed again . Again good for another week or so fluid smelling burnt so did more research and replaced high pressure line thinking it might of been collapsing more fresh fluid can't get it to bleed no power steering so talked to the people we got the rack from and got another one put it in still the same . Got a vacuum bleeder still can't get it to work . Striped both pumps and old racks to have a look how they worked . all the vanes in the pumps are free in the pumps the OG one looks ok but is way more worn them the other cleaned the pump and put it back on still nothing . Can't work it out any Ideas thanks .. Glen
I have a 2010 titanium limusine with 1.6 tdci,i think is a good car.😁
Mk3.5 focus facelift of the silver one a few cars away
had titanium mk 4 mondeo lowed to the bits , now hawe mk 5 mondeo still miss the mk 4 😢
yeah nice on alan get a mk1 ford focus on the channel cheers.
RIP Fiesta x
Hi Alan, how you doing? I know you are a big Ford fan! What do you think about Alfa’s do you sometimes work on them?
Mk2 came out in 2005 not 2003….you could get 54 plate Mk1’s….😊
You need to tell us more about the diesel versions
Heard many 1.6 petrol with tapping from the small end probably down to lack of servicing as I live in South East London, but also heard many a bad story from fords engine plant , so listen carefully to engine before buying one
Mk2 Focus came along in 2005 and facelift in 2008.
Mk2 focus is a brilliant car 🚙 I’ve got a 2.0 Ghia auto. Has you company cornered the market for mk2 focus’s ? Lol
I have a 2008 Titanium with the half leather seats and 2.0 Duratec engine. I was looking to replace it with Focus MK IV, but it has no decent engines anymore, unless I want the ST version. Which I'm not allowed to buy according to my girlfriend. So I guess I'm just going to keep it until it shits the bed.
lmao, you made me laugh, all the best
If you take those plastic sil covers off there will be rust holes where they screw into
Fords are really reliable cars. I don’t know where the fix once repair daily slogan comes from?
I have a question for you Alan, I have a 2008 Mondeo Titanium x 2.0 TDCI and it's bloody AWFUL on fuel, like stupid bad, i had a Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 diesel before it and that did more on the fuel than my Mondeo, Are they that bad or could there be something wrong ? Thanks mate.
Bloody love the sigma engines. Got one in a fiesta the 1.25 version and it’s done 145k miles now and it just keeps going. Wanting to replace it with the last of the mk7 fiestas as they’re the last shape to have that engine in unfortunately.
2017 is the last year they were made for them and the focus. The last of the old-school zetec lumps. Brilliant engines. In the UK in the last 50 years there are some notable engines that have been the beating heart of the average family street - the A-series, K-series, Pinto, CVH, GM Family One a few more to add... and the Sigma 'Zetec' engine.
Lol I have my mk2 estate 2.0 diesel on 235k , love it,, shame ford are pulling the plug on them in 2025 along with the fiesta in 2023
Your next video is quite likely to be "How to open a bonnet and change the broken lock on a Ford Focus Mk2.5"
Didn't the1.8/ 2.0 duratec have an issue with oil burning due to low tension rings this then blocks the egr valve and causes a mot emission's fail, scrapped at 90k but no rust. I also had a mk1 2.0 blacktop esp version with eibach springs that was bulletproof afraid the sills and subframes rotted out at 180k loved that car
Apparently it was the 'Spanish' oil rings that weren't of particularly good quality that saw the demise of the early duratecs and also problems with the pcv valves. A friend's of mine knew someone who had a mk3 1.8 mondeo that consumed a sumps worth oil every 500 miles and I'm not joking!
My 2005 2L Duratec is at 79K and does not burn oil and passes the MOT fine. So perhaps that the problem was fixed.
Still looks modern, can see close relation to 3rd gen Mondeo , shame Ford seem to be coming away from good mechanicals and also going to naff SUVs too
If you were changing front coil springs on mk focus 2 1.8tdci would you just change the anti friction bearing supports, or would you change top strut mounts as well, this car is nearly 15 years old now, Cheers Ian.
you would be best to replace the spring along with new top strut mount/bearing assembly
@@alan4x Cheers
Why do the door seals fall off the focus , for several years know different models , just seems to happen on the focus only not other fords .
Only mk3
the fuel filler nozzle stops you putting a diesel nozzle in by mistake, you "may" get 3 "passengers" in the back, BUT 3 adults, they`d be squashed mate after a VERY short time.
