    Hi, thankyou for the welcome.

    I have a 2001(Y) Ford Focus 2.0.

    The Steering wheel alignment sensor needs replacing and it cannot be programmed by the new IDS System.

    A local Ford Garage fitted a new one, then removed it again as they cannot programme it and tun out the

    dash light.

    Ford Tech and Customer Services are all saying it needs to go onto a WDS syatem and not the IDS system, but

    no-one seems to be using it anymore.

    I have spent hours on the phone with Ford UK, I was just hoping someone could help me on here.

    Thanks again for the welcome.
