WES180 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Should be the same set up as my Cmax was and my mate managed to unbolt the lock mechanism by reaching up under the car with a small ratchet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IINexusII Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 cost be about 80quid to get it fixed by ford, they replaced the lock cylinder. so expect that much as the maximum if its not covered by warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaloti Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Worst case is your key is worn and that has damaged your lock. New grill New lock assembly New key. Best case is worn key. New blade Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaloti Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 New blade is cheaper than dis-assembling and re-assembling the unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 New blade is cheaper than dis-assembling and re-assembling the unit. Unless you fix it yourself free of charge!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummondjhn Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 well now fixed the small white plastic part had snapped that was replaced but soon as any pressure was put on nothing worked turned out the wire inside rubber had snapped all replaced under warranty thanks for help everyone quick question just something ive been wondering if a spring or shock was to need replaced on a zetec s is it same parts as other focus models cheers john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 The ride height is a bit lower on the Zetec S as far as im aware so would suggest the springs to be different spec. Someone else will be able to give a definitive answer on that for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
