    It appears you have a lot of ‘U’  can bus communication error codes, 2006-2011 focuses sometimes suffer from dry solder joints in the instrument cluster affecting tha can busses . A slap on the dash just above the IC can temporarily make the circuits contact and can be an indication that may be the issue.  Resoldering the ic pcb. Is the simplest route if this is the case and many companies do this  usually about £100

    worth checking

    Hi, As RL123 says, it's the cluster solders.

    Search on Ebay for "Focus MK2 Instrument cluster repair" and send your cluster off.

    Clear fault codes when you refit repaired cluster.

    Hi Dave,  Sorry, I am just reading your message. Thanks a lot for responding to my advert. Please see my Local Ford Service Center Report and cost to replace it. As its expensive and its not worth spending that much money I said no to them. I am looking for a local garage who can do this for less. I will look on ebay now. Thanks a lot again.image.thumb.png.b3857f1ea336d5c60b798e0eafd9e1be.png

    Yes, post it off buddy. My Brother-in-law got his back in 2 days.

    Remember to clear DTCs when you refit repaired cluster

    Just so you know, car will not work without cluster in
