Ford Focus Kaput

Post by Walenut »

Looks like the diesel pump has gone on the misses car; apparently it’s a common fault on them, I find out now. :(

£1400 from Ford :eek2 , just had a look at a place in Blackburn called Diesel Bob they recondition them, anyone had any experience of them?

If you’ve got a Diesel Focus sell it now, I could have brought another bike for that :evil:

Just had a quick look myself on ebay:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-FOCUS-TURBO- ... dZViewItem

Obviously this might not be the right year for your car or yours may not be a turbo, but they are about secondhand for a lot less than £1400 :!:

Not that easy unfortunately modern diesel pumps have a microprocessor built into them, it that that’s gone, can’t get one from a breaker as they have to be coded to the cars CPU.

Modern emissions, marvellous. :evil:
