Hi, i have just bought a focus st from Evans Halshaw Ford dealership, i noticed when i got it home last week that reverse light wasn't working so took it back an they explained that it was the reverse switch on the gearbox, does anyone know if its a big job to change them because at first they said they were ordering the part in an it would only take 5 mins to fit, however now they want it for a full day, they said the gearbox has to be dropped to change the switch, just seemed a little intense for such a small part, i know i'm not paying for it as i have standard 3 month warranty plus extended 2 year warranty but it just bugged me a little.

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light (excuse the pun!) on this situation. Thanks

 

engine mount does need dropping as its in a terrible position which cant get a socket on properly or a ring spanner.1 hour tops i reckon

 

Cheers, thanks for that, at least they have gave us a courtesy car for the day.....probably a Ka good job the girlfriend is dropping the ST off an picking it up so i shouldnt see the courtesy car with a bit of luck

 

Alright mate, do you know where the reverse switch is located on the gear box and is it actually impossible to do it without dropping the gear box? Thanks
