Default Strange Request...

Hi All,

I just wanted to know if there is a part from the interior of my car missing (3dr LR Focus) the following photo is taken from the drivers seat foot well... should there be a little shroud where that hole is marked?



thanks

That's not a strange request at all and to my mind it looks like you're missing the little cap that's meant to cover the "kill" switch.

BTW Welcome to the Forums etc. Is that your Focus ST170 in your Avatar? Fantastic car and not common at all.

Yep, 2003 model ST170... im currently working on getting it as close to showroom condition as i can, with a few little tweaks along the way

I wonder if the 5dr focus has the same panel in the foot-well, if it does i might have a better chance of finding one umongst a written off, garden variety focus

5 door is exactly the same, but I don't think anything is missing. I think that is the hole to give you access to the kill switch (Focus has a safety feature that if you roll, or take a very big bump, it will cut off the fuel supply. The switch behind that hole lets you reactivate the fuel pump)

I'll take a look tonight and see what mine looks like
