Officially from Ford the replacement interval is 160k kms or 10 years on 1.2/ 1.4/ 1.6 petrol fords. But would usually recommend it around 140k kms(100k mls)or 8/9 years. Price should be somewhere between 3-400€

Could be numerous things McG, but obviously 1 sensor has picked up a fault, if left unfixed it is possible that another sensor or component could become faulty. So best advice would be get it checked as soon as you can.

If it is an E46, yer probably looking at one of an exhaust sensor, a coolant temperature sensor or an airflow meter. 

If it is an E90, it could be anything, take yer pick from the turbo, engine oil breather, ignition coils (if it is a petrol) , various sensors, or worse again, the timing chain is out , a lot of these models were recalled by BMW to have a replacement timing chain adjuster fitted.

Quick question for you 9F, how much would I be looking at to replace a rear wheel bearing? It's a '97 VW Polo. Cheers Thumbs Up

I'd say that wheel barring would cost more than a 97 VW Polo.

He wouldn't set me free,

less than a tenner online for the bearing and kit ( seal nut grease and a split pin/circlip ). handy enough fit

When does the timing belt need replaced on a 09 Focus? 1.6 Petrol. Currently 59k on the clock. Some lad I was chatting to the other week reckons I should be looking a changing it once I hit the 70k mark.

Same as DG80 above. All 1.2/ 1.4/ 1.6 petrol fords from 1998ish up to 2012ish are 160k kms or 10 years but around 140k kms or 8 years is when i'd recommend. ( I'm a former Ford technician)

Yep Daboi is right.
In a garage you'd be looking at €60-€80 to do the job

Looking for a bit of advice 9fingers.

Need to get myself a car to get to and from a new job in January.

I'm open to any make or model (would prefer small engine with petrol in mind). Just need something reliable enough and nct'd preferably.

Have about 1k to 1.5k to spend.

Any suggestions? (Or even better do you or anyone else know someone selling an alright motor?)

Any advice or suggestions from anyone appreciated as my head is melted browsing carzone, carsireland,etc and I don't know much about cars at all, bar how to drive one!!!!

No. Say for example his cert expired 3/9/10 the next time he gets it tested the cert expiry date will be 3/9/14.

The only thing that ever changes on a cert is the year. The day and month will always remain the same
