Stoney871 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Check the wiring to your Speedo sensor, it sits on top of the back of your gearbox. The sensor is a known problem on the Mk1 focus and is cheap to get a replacement but the removal of the old one can be a sod as it is a tight fit and the retaining pin snaps easily. If you source your own part i.e. from eBay, make sure you get a pin too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
