Hi I am new to this so please guide me to the right place for answers. Thanks…

I am looking for a little bit of advice/your opinions on what is best to do. I have a 2018 Ford focus, st-line, 1L ecoboost that I have had nothing but trouble with over the last few months. Every time I pay to fix something and assume surely that’s it for a while now, something else goes wrong! I have spent £3k now. 

I have replaced the wet belt, clutch, vac pump. turbo work done and an issue with starting. This has all been done over the last 2 months. Surely there’s nothing else to go wrong?! It is currently running as it should but I have major anxiety thinking what is next while driving. 
 

after paying to fix all of the above, would you keep it or would you get rid of it giving all the problems are happening very close together. 
 

any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    I assume this must be a Focus Mk3.5 ?

    What would you change it for, another Ford or another make ?
