cressws1 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I have a similar age 1.8 Focus. Check for rust on the underside of the wing mirrors and door sills. Check for damp in the passenger footwell, This is caused by a dodgy pollen filter cover, Had to replace mine at a cost of about 30 quid but worth checking.
