Hello everyone,

 

a few things I have just bought a Ford Focus zetec on a 11 plate.

been driving around all day was just sitting there programming the stereo and had a battery low warning come on.

is it the actually car battery that is low should I change it???

also got this plastic tab on my windscreen any clues if it’s meant to be there as I can’t get it out

    The plastic tab might be a ticket holder as Stoney871 said photos would help.

    Pretty sure that's not a 'Ford' thing, looks like some sort of cable tidy for a dash cam or SatNav?

    Nah, definitely a carpark ticket holder.

    What about the battery low message???

    im thinking it might be the battery in the key fob rather then the car battery???

    Change the key battery first.

    Better a couple of quid than the hassle / cost of the car battery.

    You need a cr2032.
