Hi all

Well I have this problem with my 99 1.8 focus ghia that I can be driving down the road as normal with no problems at all and then the speedo will stop working and there is a drop in power and as you put your foot down on the clutch the engine will cut out!!

Restart the engine and away you go but still down on power and no working speedo but then a few miles down the road the speedo will come back on and yiu can feel the power come back and then when you put your foot on the clutch there is no problem at all

Has anyone else had this problem as any help or advice would greatful appreciated

Cheers Jay
