2003 Ford Focus Diesel Manual Hatchback by Jackie72 • 5th May 2012
Ball of dung!! I had a black 03 Focus 1.8 TDCi 115 Zetec which I bought with 93k on the clock, F.F.S.H and one lady owner. Ok it was a nice enough driving car and it was pretty nippy but that's where the good points end. Thank god the fella I bought it from was dead on and his brother was a mechanic, he always got any problems fixed for me. Though at one stage not even Lindsay Ford in Craigavon couldn't find the fault with it. On a normal summers morning the car would struggle to start after new injectors and battery and when it did start, a lot of black and blue smoke came out of it. Anyway, the gearbox was done after 110k and the clutch was on its way out too. Thankfully I wrote the car off and got exactly what I paid for it 2 years earlier through insurance. My neighbour has the exact same engine in his 2004 MK1 Focus and it's giving huge problems, I only thought mine was bad.. Stay well away from Ford!
