I do sympathise but its not typical of Ford. I have had a continuous run 
of Fords owner****p since 1994 (x2 Focus, x2 Mondeo) and I wouldn't still 
be buying them if there was a serious problem. My original Focus was 
bought new in 1999 and I still own it (wife drives it now). It has had 
very little go wrong with it and I think I've spent about £150 on 
non-service related defects.

My current Focus 2.0 TDCi is coincidentally in the dealer****p at the 
moment trying to overcome a warm start problem which has already seen 
the fuel injectors replaced at a cost of £1000 but luckily its under 
warranty. Shame the new injectors didn't fix the problem and engine now 
sounds like a tractor with modified injectors :-(
