    What engine is it?  i.e. 1.6 TDCi or 1.8 petrol etc.

    could be absolutely anything, without codes its a needle in a hay stack, intermittent faults are notorious hard to track down.

    but, I did some googling and there are some suggestions that it might actually be related to a common problem with early Ford Focus's and it could be something to do with the cluster.

    but that's a guess, keep running it and see if you get any other messages / warnings

    I'm thinking you mean the 1.4L? :)
