Thanks for the reply.I also get a slight ticking on start-up sometimes would that be the thermostat also
No. That will be the tappets. Solid on the 1.6 Focus engine and need checking and shimming (iif necessary) every (from memory) 60,000 miles. Easy to check, a pig to shim unles you have the Ford tool and a box of shims.
If its only slight don't bother.
But sometimes an injector can make a tapping/ticking noise on startup as well. Can be difficult to tell which it is.
