Ford Focus Servicing

[The Sherman]

My car has 83k on clock and I bought it at 63k and dont know what the service history of the car is.

Am thinking the timing belt might need replaced and was looking for advice on how much this might cost and if i definately need it done

cheers

Hi, I would def get the car serviced for your own piece of mind, take it to a small family VAT reg garage & ask to use fords own Filters Etc, I would when getting the Cam belt changed also get your fan belt done at the same time, when they do the Cam belt the kit comes with a new Tension er Etc, The cost with the service would be within �200--�230. they will also stamp you service book, by doing what I & many would suggest will keep the car in a good serviceable way especially now with Summer coming.

Hi, As said now that Summer is ahead of us,Motorway travelling Etc, that's the part that takes it's toll on unserviced cars, you have seen it yourself people scratching their heads on the EVIL hard shoulder just because they could not be bothered to check their car out before a journey, providing the belts are changed you should not get any problems.
