-Tranny flaushes, Im one my 4th Scheduled one
-Fuel filter done every year

-Power steering flush done every year
-Timing belt done at 100k

Most of this stuff was done bymyself except for the timing belt and water pump, that saved me some serious cash.
Now for the good stuff....

-Seat handle broke again shortly after, f*** it.
-3 Wheel bearings

-New valve cover gasket
-front o2 sensor
-2 X Control arm brace (the part thats between the front strut and brake assembly)
-Ignition lock cylinder
-MAF wiring harness
-New wiring for the trunk release and rear wiper
-Re paint 1/4 panels due to paint flaking off (no rust here, just paint coming right off)
I'm sur theres more, but im getting depressed writing this. :lol:
Its truly a love hate relationship I have with the focus. I love driving it, hate maintaining it.
And before meford and all the ford lovers pipe up, this was pre turbo, only mods I had was a CAI and exhaust.
