Thank you for your advice Dave, is the solenoid part of the latch or can it be bought separately? Whilst I had the door card off I did notice getting the latch off is going to be a bitch.

It's a REALLY common problem. I only know of one person who's had a problem with fuse 63 but the good old internet makes out that's the more common fault. I've had 4 mk1 Focus's in both 3 and 5 four guise and I've had to change a front door solenoid on every single one.
