Not really. It's less than 30000 for work completed. I'll update bill after everything is over. Thanks Ford for keeping spares cheap.

Next up is a paint job. I love the Focus Blue but would like a little more darker but I'm keeping that in mind.

I'll list the approximate cost, though the final bill including labour is awaited.
1. Engine Oil/Filter/Gasket - Rs.1000
2. Brake/Clutch Fluid - Rs.310
3. Brake Rotors - Rs.2500
4. Door Mirror Pads - RS-Rs.375, LS-Rs.355
5. Accessory Belt Kit - Rs.1700
6. Gear Oil - Rs.1350
7. Fuel filter - Rs.600
8. Air Filter - Rs.210
9. Timing Belt + tension-er bearing - Rs.4500 + labour
10. 1.6 Logo - Rs.200
11. Wind Shield - Rs.3888 + Rs.650 (Rubber Beading)+Rs.1000(Paste) + Labour- Rs.1000
12. Clutch - Disc and Pressure Plate - Rs.2500 + Rs.1700 (release Bearing)
i guess all above including labour would be Rs.26-27K.

In any case, Ill update the details after final bill.[:)]

4. ABS module found to be defective and that was the cause for spongy brakes. The module was not pumping oil to one of the wheels. Replaced with a used one. New one costs 54k????!!!!!

The prices are pretty interesting... Prices are of a Ford Service Center right ? If that's the case I'll have to soon go for a shopping spree [;)]

ABS module bought for 8000 as against 54k. Still I think is a little expensive
The parts and make are same. The prices are from Eureka Ford who distributes Ford parts. They are cheap and you have the license to go on a shopping spree. I've left the car with a garage run by former Ford mechanics who worked 7 years in Ford ASS.

Draining the engine oil as well, it was long due.

The old steering hose. There is no leaks however few cars which came for the recall had minor/major leaks. Everything fixed FOC.

Had some sound from the front end. It sounded like the metal parts were scrapping. It occurred very rarely, though it itched me a lot. Found out that the stabilizer bar bushes went off and the stabilizer was scrapping with the front wishbone. New bushes goes in.
