Focus MK2.5 Gear knob and gaiter problem

[diz79]

Hi

I seem to be having difficulty finding the correct gear knob and gaiter for my particular car, I have the ford focus mk2.5 facelift, its £100 with ford, you can find 1000s on eBay for £8-£20 but I cannot find the right one ive ordered a couple and they alwats come back too small, as I can only assume are for the MK2, has anyone else ran into this problem and/or have found a solution, id probably pay a bit more than £20 jut to get it sorted but £100 seems a bit steep. Ive found some old forum threads talking about it but because they are old te links to the gear knob dont work.

 

If anyone can help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

The MK2 facelift started in 2008.

so not a fl then ?

Hi thanks for the quick responses didnt expect that my model is 2008-11, Ive asked previous sellers and theyve said yes and it still is too small when arrived, the one Focue put looks good, but the seller isnt taking msgs as mailbox is full, it is notoriously difficult to find from the research ive done. I guess I will keep looking, if anyone sees any other sellers please let me know.

 

Many thanks

Erm...yes, it is a fl.  MK2 (pre-facelift) very late 2004 onwards, MK2.5 (facelift) 2008 onwards
