Should I fix my Ford Focus or trade it in?
I own a 2006 Ford Focus estate with 165,000 miles on the clock. I’ve been told the car needs a new duel mass fly wheel, which will cost approximately £800. I estimate the car to be worth £1200. Is it worth fixing the fly wheel or trading it in for another lower mileage focus?

It's not worth it, I'd recommend trading it in and getting something else.

My Ford Focus (2005 model) has stated leaking water into the cabin. The liquid enters though the dashboard and is becoming a real problem. Any idea how I can fix this?
