    Hi There,

    This is a common problem with the focus, your problem is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is on it's way out, my advice is to get to Ford as soon as and get this replaced.

    Hope this is of help.

    I second that. It is most definitely your Vehicle Speed Sensor. I had a lot of the same problems and changed the sensor last weekend and it's all been fine since. A new sensor cost me about £36 and you'll need the retaining pin also (£2). Mine was a massive effort to get out, guess that's what 100,000 miles does to it! It's a simple procedure, just need a lot of patience!
