Focus 1.8 petrol 2001 - Crinkly Dave
Friend's car, recently retired and bought a few months ago as a retirement present to last them for a few years. Previously owned by a women who did few miles, but subject to FSH by Ford, but just out of warranty. Mainly used for local trips of less than 2 miles, with a few longer runs. No previous problems or hiccups.
Used yesterday to go about 1½ miles, then park for 3 hours, then return. On the way back it stopped 3 times. Started OK this am
Suggested a severe Italian tune, and trip to local independent (mentioned on HJ's list of good garages).
I seem to remember a mention on previous topics of a problem with the speed sensor
Will check details more precisely later, but anyone any ideas or similar problems
