    This must be rectified by the dealer. Check very carefully in bright
    sunshine (if possible) for good colour match after the repair and reject it
    if your not 100% happy.
     
     

    Known problem, not only with Ford, but most other makes who use RSW's. The
    area of the glass immediatley infront of the sensor must be clean and grease
    free.
     

    Common fault with the mk1 Focus, looks like they're still using the same
    sender in the mk2!!
     

    Very common fault from the mk1, mine does it, though about 30seconds after
    a/c switch on. No cure known as far as I know.

    You have to be perfectly still when selecting the reverse, otherwise
    it makes that sound, like in every car.
     

    Not much rain in my place, but when it did rain the RSW worked fine.
     

    Same thing happened in the C-Max model. The dealer will change your
    A/C but its performance won't be the same.

    The mk3 has an all synchro box and shouldnt grate going into reverse unless
    the clutch is dragging, inwhich case you would have to force the lever
    fairly firmly to slot it into place.

    Have the clutch examined by the dealer before the reverse synchro is
    knackered.

    Thank’s Tim...

    What does bug me is the A/C Noise and the Reverse gear. I have
    requested a Ford Technician to look at the car as the local dealer
    does not not how to repair the A/C. If the fault is not repaired then
    things could get interesting as I have spoken to Ford about consumer
    rights!!!

    This is the 4th Focus I have had, the other 3 were fine but this one
    is very poor quality, I honestly think it was built on Friday
    afternoon as it seems to have been thrown together.

    Also I tip, don’t always believe the dealer, I asked for a copy of the
    repair report and to my suprise they only spent 10 mins checking my
    car even though they had it all day, and then trying on the
    ’charactristic story’......
