ford focus instrument cluster fault

[ATOMICSKI]

my 2003 1.8 tdci focus has an intermitent fault , all dials gauges stop working for a few seconds then come back to life. it seems that there are many focus with the same fault. is it worth going to the dealers to check or what does anybody recomend

I have a Focus (diesel) that had an instrument cluster failure before Xmas (all lights were flashing, alarm sounding, no speedo or fuel guage). My normal garage fiddled with it & got it working and then a few days later it went again. Took it to Ford and it cost me �377! I keep vowing to get rid of the damned thing - it is a total lemon. Currently suffering from loss of power (again).

I personally cant help but try one of the very good focus car forum sites such as www.focusowners.com . Its free advice and there will be other people on there that have experienced the same fault and cures for it too .
Good luck with it .
