Wondering if any ones had a problem with a speeedo on a T reg focus 1.4 zetec?. Can be driving along an the speedo and milleage just stops working then comes back on when it wants.

 

Faulty speed sensor which plugs into the gearbox. That is one of the known issues. Sensor is around the Ł130 mark.

yeah more than likely the vehicle speed sensor is faulty although theres a possibility that the dash cluster itself has packed up.needs checking out to see if theres a code set for vss

 

bonus - means there'll be less miles on it when you come to sell

 

probably the clocks themselves
they go all the time, very common
there was even a feature on watchdog about it a while back
all the stupid cunts with a 8 year old focus were wanting it recalled and done for nothing
needless to say ford told them where to go

 

we had that with a 2mth old st3 it even read in reverse and would stick at 30 mph for days
omc never found anything wrong though

 

had this on my 51 plate, was speed sensor.

 

Yup, it'll be the VSS vehicle speed sensor that sits in the gearbox. Good luck getting it out, you'll need it

 

if its the clocks i can supply you the internals to a focus clocks, basicly remove the dials, take back off takes two secs, and pull off board and replace, i can also supply it to any mileage required.


not a add by the way its just something i can actually advice on and offer for once on here lol

 

I would contact ford, as I am not sure about the date but do know they were replacing back to a good few years FOC a new cluster, if it's that.

lol ill vouch for that.if you get a good one they come right out.if you dont then its drilling down the centre with a long self taper through middle it is.can be a right arsebag to get out
