Pick up a Haynes manual for a regular focus if you want to know how to do basic mechanical stuff like brakes and suspension.

You could also take a look on youtube. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't done a video on MK3 focus brakes.

Yep I wouldn't buy an EV that doesn't have liquid TMS on the battery.

16B02 expired in 2017 so they will do nothing. Further the wiring harnesses aren't covered by the warranty so you are SOL there too. Luckily (TSB) 20-2004 looks like it also covers the same as 16B02 so you should be golden. My guess is water ingress and corrosion to the battery connector. Good luck ...

Glad to see one get to 100k miles!

Now all we need to do is find 430 higher energy density cells with the same dimensions at a reasonable cost and rebuild the pack

considering they were only made in that color for what 1 year. and there was somewhere between 1k and 3k IIRC made the last couple years of the FFE, they may have only made a handful of them.

let us know what battery you get. last I heard they were all refurbed 23 kWh packs not new.

Battery has to fail for a warranty replacement. I want to say it's been about a year now that the warranty replacement gets you a refurbished battery not a new one. The warranty is clear that there is no degradation guarantee.

seems like it's learn how to troubleshoot and fix yourself or disposable car. Since any failure out of warranty will be very expensive.

But how do you come to know that the locksmith you have hired can do the replacement or not.

Simple, you ask them before hiring them.
