Comms error is how it translates, had a look here and this guy recons that a fuel filter change helped....

Thanks will it be ok to drive the car with the light on?

should be fine, its not a pressure switch issue so its not going to blow the airbags as your driving along!

Thanks again just need to find out what that code means so I can fix the problem...

Ideally you need to get a code reader on there and find the plain text version.

I tried a couple of garages but that want £50+ to have a look at it :(

Sadly that's the standard these days. Look at my signature and click 'got an error On your car?' read through and pick the best for you, if you get one that reads airbag codes specifically it will help you. They are cheap at 25 or so for a good diy kit or for that matter as little as 12 for a pc diagnostic

I know this is an old thread, but did changing the fuel filter solve this problem? Reason I ask is because my mate from work went to his car (2003 focus Ghia 1.6 petrol) yesterday after a days graft and it just would not start. Its happened to him before and so he had his fuel pump changed which cured it and it worked fine for a few months. Then, one day he ran out of petrol, he refilled it, gave the car a wobble (dunno if this works or is needed), it worked fine but then started stuttering and limped home, next day though it worked fine. Just last night he tried to start it and it wouldn't turn over (same as the original issue).

he's had the mechanic out and he said it was unlikely that it was the fuel pump again, so I'm thinking it might be a clogged fuel filter. I ran the internal diagnostic for any dtc codes (i have the same car, but the 1.8 tdci) and it came up with d262.

Try the MAF sensor, in my case was the wire plug for MAF !

Must be the season for ressurecting old threads.
