Title: Focus1.6 cam belt change
Post by: rockabilly on 23 April 2013, 20:12:52

Hi to you all
3 and a  half years later and we still have the Desmond, EML light on but not to worry, two trips to Folkestone and many trips to the midlands all from South /Glos, and all ways arrive home safe and sound.

Question to you all,the wife new car is a Focus 1.6 ,55 plate with all old MOTs fully stamped service history by Fords with only 27,500 miles on the clock.
We cant get sense has to when to change the cam belt, even from Fords what your thoughts.
Car will be 8 years old on the 1st Nov this year.
I think then?
