Hi all. Had my focus about a month now and it's been nothing but trouble. 56plate mk2 1.6 diesel lx model 

 

Anyway the clocks are going wappy quite often into what I would say is limp mode cannot accelerate or pretty much drive. Seems its an electrical problem as a tap on the dash rectifies this till its next episode which could be minutes or days. 

Read up that you can take clock appart and re solder the pins. I really don't fancy doing this so would I be able to buy second hand clocks and swap plug and play no problems?

If I was to get it fixed professionally who would be best person to go to. Auto electrician? A garage? Or somewhere else

    If I buy a mk2.5 is it simple swap or does it require modification of wires or anything? Also will I need to have anything re programmed

    If the clocks are anything like the MK1 focus it'll be just 4 screws n 2 plugs nothing more 👍
