I now have a haynes on the way so will get this sorted I hope
Cleaner on my list for tomorrow then Richie
Thanks again.
It IS the Zetec-S engine, this is the ONLY engine in this capacity that they are avaliable with, this was then a new engine and was launched in the Focus when it was laucned in 1998. It has now found it's way into other models as well now.
The larger capacity engines are Zetec-E engines, which were borrowed from early Mondeos, these have the inlet manifold at the back and the exahust at the front, so the complete opposite of the engine you have, incidentally your inlet manifold is also made of plastic
