Re: Just a Survey: How many Kilometers Your Focus has Done?
 

Year: December 2010 (first registered May 2011)
Body: Hatch
Series: LV MkII
Badge: TDCI
Trans: 6sp manual
Kilometres: 100,080
Problems: Water leak in the hatch, fixed under warranty (known issue). Two broken grilles (upper and lower) caused by a duck and a magpie.

Re: Just a Survey: How many Kilometers Your Focus has Done?
 

Good day, thank you for all your replies! hopefully this thread would continue to help the focus future buyers decide deeper and help existing owners with issues :)

Re: Just a Survey: How many Kilometers Your Focus has Done?
 

Year: 12/12 (rego Jan 13)
Body: Hatch
Series: S
Trans: Powershift
Kms: 24,000
Probs: None, other than a strange resonance that has started to occur at just over 2200 rpm.

Still I worry about the longevity of the transmission and the huge cost if something does go wrong outside warranty.

Re: Just a Survey: How many Kilometers Your Focus has Done?
 

What year it is? 2004
What Variant/badge? 1.6 Hatch (NZ new)
What series? LR
What transmission? 5 SPD MANUAL
Kms 194.000
Problems - gearbox noise fixed under warranty, rear wheel bearing replaced, lambda sensor replaced, Nothing else other than normal maintenance, owned for 10 years.

Re: Just a Survey: How many Kilometers Your Focus has Done?
 

What year it is? 2002
What Variant/badge? CL Sedan
What series? LR
What transmission? Auto
KM's? 183,000

Bought second had from a dealer in 2005 with 42,000 on the clock.

Work other than consumables:

67,000 - replace HT leads

93,000 - replace alternator

101,000 - replace fan speed resistor

116,000 - servo broke and small metal pieces in auto trans, causing error code. servo replaced.

128,000 - timing belt replaced. leaking rocker cover gasket and leaking camshaft seals replaced. cracked thermostat housing replaced.

167,000 - power steering pump leaking - overhauled. leaking coolant - replaced coolant reservoir. air con gone - compressor cracked - hasn't been replaced due to cost.

172,000 - breakdown, loss of power. fuel pump replaced.

172,000 - breakdown, wouldn't start. starter motor replaced.

174,000 - failed rego inspection. vacuum hose replaced.

178,000 - breakdown, wouldn't start. fuel leak - lines replaced.

183,000 - cracked thermostat housing again, replaced.

I've decided the most recent expense is the last, and yes, too late maybe. These days it's a second car and it's mostly used for getting to/from the train station.

I'd be unlikely to buy ford again.
