Of course it could be the switch , but .....
Do you get the ability to put the ignition on? How about 'stage one' - accessories? The steering lock may be your culprit given the error message. Can ... |

I’m taking it very slow getting apart having never done anything like this before. I’ve got the cambelt off and believe I now need to put the ... |

If you're replacing the injector supply pipes (as recommended) then you'll find Ford equivalents cheaper.
Do you have the ford code numbers please
Sorry, but I think if you spend a short tim ... |

| I preemptively replaced mine during lockdown. The key is to get the LR part which supersedes the original chill cast camshaft . In the aftermarket you'll find chill cast camshafts out there. The corre ... |
