I'd always chose petrol over diesel. Even a modern 2.0 petrol engine can do 40mpg these days.

The same deisel might do 50 on a run, but for the rest of its life it will trundle around town blocking up its DPF and smashing its DMF pieces.

I doubt a 2004 Focus has a DPF.

Petrol cars dont consume DMF's at the same rate as diesels.

i give you that one, but its not as expensive to revert your DMF to a single flywheel.

It still works out cheaper to buy petrol in the first place lol.

Focus 1.8 petrol is the best combination.

1.4 too slow and painful
1.6 too thirsty

Possibly, as I had a 2004 307 that had a DPF and Ford share the same engine. Might be a 54 reg mkII knocking about with one.
