Hi Craig 

The 1.6 Volvo engine in the ford focus doesn't have a ford engine cover available although it really should have done; because the windscreen washer jets the seals around those between the bonnet and the jet

Leaks rain water on to the top of the engine; really affects the 1.6 petrol model focus from 2005-2011 because of its location under the Bonnet; that rain water gets in around the coils and rusts inside the engine.

A common problem and a common modification is to seal around the windscreen washer jets by applying silicone around them under the bonnet,

Also fitting a 1.6 volvo engine cover to the ford focus is another common solution; there's guides with links to the correct parts. 

Heres one on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/22034912778?iid=221662425971 

Cheaper from Geemany but may be subject to import tax
