Dash Board Issues And Over-Revving On C-Max

Good Afternoon,

I bought a 54 plate 1.8 Ford Focus C-Max Zetec last month and it has a problem with the petrol and rev counter all dropping below the 0/empty lines and they are running below what they should when the car is running. Its hard to tell if the temperature gauge also has the same issue. Also I have found that the car is over revving when the car is stationary.

Does anyone know what the fault is? Is it a sensor fault?

At this time of year I don't have the money to go and get a fault diagnostics report done (The previous owner had got an engine one done prior to us buying it and it was clear)

Thank you in advance for any help/idea's to what it can be.

Emma

    Sounds like the speed sensor - quite a common fault that plays all sorts of tricks on the cluster.

    There are a fair few threads in the Focus section about it.

    Not sure on the over rev though

    Is it petrol or diesel?
