A bit off topic but anyway, got a small problem with my ford focus the gear stick doesnt return to the centre and i've found the gear selector spring to be broken.

My question is how easy is it to fit a new one and where can i get a new selector spring from?

Don't want to pay a main dealer for such a simple job.... but my car repair skills are very limited to non-existent :confused

Any car mechanics out there???

Cheers
Chris.

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

No longer owning a ford (last one was a Cortina Mk4 with some 5 bits)

There are the two forum enthusiast sites , focusfanatics.com and and I think focusowners.co.uk out there

Alternatively if you did buy the spring from a dealer, Im sure the man behind the counter would call out the greasemonkey from the back for a couple of minutes chat.
