    Based on the supplied user information you have a 2003 focus. A 2003 Focus is a focus MK1.5.

    All symptons point to a defective VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor). This is a common problem on the focus MK1/MK1.5. The VSS is located on the top of the gearbox. Changing the VSS should solve the problem.
