plwsm Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I just picked up a new Focus Titanium (2 days ago) and while I was reversing on the drive tonight, this part fell on my foot from somewhere under the steering column. Does anyone recognize this part? Is it important? Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeebowhite Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I dont think its a "part" as such, I think its a tool? It looks like its used for moving the coloumns or something? Im presuming that it has a handle with finger grips on the right side of the picture, and so it was probably left there by someone who put the car together... What is the part number on the handle, I can see its there but cant quite make it out on that picture? I would be surprised if it is a genuine required "part", because why would Ford put a part on there that has a nice handle that would make its customers lives easier? (or its mechanics lives for that matter!) Let us know what the findings are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catch Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I must admit I was perplexed by the fact it appears to have a hand grip on it. jeebowhite the wife has cousins in Strood, Gillingham, and the Isle of Grain. They were born in Yorkshire but their father got a job working at the BP refinery on the Isle of Grain. He nearly tempted me down there, as he said management liked Northern bred workers, because they were not as lazy and soft as Southerners :P ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAHAM46 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I remember years ago removing the front springs on a Lada Riva and finding a pair of pliers that had been left there probably when it was built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I cant find a part of your comment to disagree with ;) More on topic, I dont think it will be too bad, but take it down, and watch the embarassment on Ford's face when they realise that some tool has left his tool inside your car! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordpartsman Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Is there a part number such as 4m51-18k939-ab or alike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITEyy118 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's got to be some kind of tool because like someone above has said that is definitely a handle with a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plwsm Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Is there a part number such as 4m51-18k939-ab or alike Hi fordpartsman. It's labelled "4M51-3C734-BD BXMEB" and is made of plastic. I spoke to the dealer about it but he is still trying to find out what it is. I'll post his response when I get it. Thanks for all your inputs so far.

jeebowhite Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I did check the ford etis website and tried googling the various part numbers, but nothing can be found. email Ford @Parts Plus - with the part number and ask them to look into the part number, they should be able to advise. I would expect Ford will get back to you in the new year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Largebona Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi PLWSM, Guess wot I found in my boot after purchasing a 2008 Focus TDCI two weeks ago?? Yes the very same part.....I took it back to the dealer (general car sales)and he said it look like something of a golf cart (idiot) Since January have you been able to find out what it is and where it come from off your car??? I am just as baffled <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo2001 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I once received a wooden crate with a consignment of machine parts. The lid was hammered shut and when I opened the crate the hammer was inside !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
