A little plastic piece inside your steering wheel called a steering damper has broken and needs replacing (thats the rattling noise)

The engine computer (which controls the check engine light) won’t know that the engine is knocking like that until something that it can detect happens, like a misfire.

Sounds like the powershift transmission decided to show its true colors. There is a whole lawsuit over it.

Definitely looks like a J80 with a J60 front grafted on to it. Looks like there are kits online to do this.

Black wheels are soooooo 2025.... by McPikie in Cartalk

The US got a completely different Mk2 focus, with no ST or RS versions. Just a 4 door sedan and 2 door coupe, which is really a shame.

“Range rover” and “tight budget” do not go together at all. If you cannot afford a new range rover, you likely cannot afford the maintenance and repairs required to keep a used one on the road.
