OK so here we go again.

This week it has stopped again. Accelerating to overtake a van from 40MPH on a 60MPH road, glowe plug light comes on and loses all power.

My sister has had it back to garage that carried out service and replaced the intercooler, they reckon it's the fuel pump.

They didn't give her any error codes, have quoted her £750 fitted.

What would you recommend, I have read on many forums, this one included that the fuel pump gets blamed for many things, and that after replacement the same problems continue.

Do you reckon replacing the fuel filter with a genuine Ford on ewould be a good starting point? See if the problems continue after that?

At the moment she is seriously considering getting rid and getting the Peugeot 206 she wanted. I was the one who told her to get a Focus over a 206, for the sake of reliability and she's so far had to shell out £600 on various bits plus whatever this is going to cost her.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Chris
