I have just bought a cracking Focus st 170 ,fantastic to drive and very good condition.Its a 52 plate with 78,000 miles and want to know when the cam belt needs replacing ? i am imagining about now! Also are there any nasty surprises i should be aware of on these models.

yep nows right just make sure you get a full timing kit fitted other than that make sure the pollemd filter doesnt leak into the pass footwell check under the carpet and make sure the rear lights and spoiler dont leak into the boot
