Ford Focus instrumnets - the show goes on

Posted by Steve Orme on November 3, 2008 9:21 AM | 

Really, by now I thought we would have wrung the cloth out dry but no, that old Ford thunder rumbles on.
Here it the lastest:

I

'I have a 2002 Ford Focus Auto Estate. My instrument panel also fails at times. I have today been quoted £365 for a new cluster. I am heartened by the news that it can be fixed for £99. Hopefully that will be that, but thanks are due to this web site and Watch Dog for highlighting this, for many of us would have felt that we have little choice but to pay through the nose on this matter. I will let you know if everything goes as promised. Best wishes, Peter Elkin'.

Working on the old newspaper presumption that for every one letter writer there are many more who are affected but disinclined to put pen to paper, there must be one hell of a lot of Focus owners out there with instrument problems.
No matter how old this story is getting it won't go away. I for one will not let it.
As James Taylor didn't sing, if your Focus is is troubling you, you've got a friend.
