you have ac, use it :p
Lol, that's your opinion.
The AC is shit in the Focus, another thing I miss from VAG life lol. It works, and the gas been topped up, it's just not at all effective in hot sun. Occasionally get wafts of cool air but it can't cool the whole car down. Uses a tonne of fuel as well while it's not working well so I just keep the windows down until cruising at '70' on the dual carriageway.

Got it up on stands, dropped the oil, proceded to open the bonnet and **** yep wouldnt open.
Was a right faff to get the bonnet open. He was shitting bricks about not being able to get it open because he wasnt driving anywhere with no oil in his car
Eventualy got it open by ripping the grill out and some very very fiddly and bent hands trickery.
In the end it was a plastc clip that broke but on the plus side it was only a few quid from ford, still a shit design tho.
Yeah it's a common issue. Stupid system really, should just use a cable inside lol!!
Not only does it break but it's so easy to put your keys on the engine cover while checking oil or screenwash...then close the bonnet. Fortunately I was at home with the front door unlocked so I could get the spare...
