Hi Guys

Had a Mondeo for less than a month which i didn't really like.I got a Ford Focus on a 99 plate (V),its the 1.8 Ghia saloon.Its a very nice car to drive,i was just wondering what to look out for really,bad points etc..I am gathering it will be the Mk1 but really have no idea..Also what sort of battery goes in the Key?..and is there anywhere i can get another key cheapish or at least a remote for the central locking.

Thanks For Reading

Wiz.
