Ford Focus 1.8 1999 speedo drops to zero - dazza
Help.My speedo on my 1999 1.8 focus keeps droping to zero the engine looses power and then the mileage blanks out reading ----.After a couple of minutes the engine picks back up the speedo starts working again and the milage comes back on.Iv been told that it could be the (vss)vehicle speed sensor and there is a easy fix using a cable tie.Anybody got any solutions or tips so i can do the repair myself.Thanks.

Dazza,

A quick Forum Search (right hand menu >>) entering 'Focus Speedo' got me this thread

Looks like a new speed sensor.
