Ford Focus Brochure - ISOFIX Issue
Discussion
Does anyone by chance have access to a 2006/07 Ford UK Focus brochure? (It's a 2008 car but it was one of the last registered pre-facelift models, so I think it's a 2006 brochure we're after)
The car was bought new with the long term view of it being our family car, our first is arriving a bit later than planned so we've never checked the ISOFIX aside from knowing it was installed when we bought the car. Our ISOFIX base/car seat etc arrived this week, after an hour messing around with no luck installing the thing (the owners manual said nothing aside from yes, the car has ISOFIX points, and to push the base into the seat until it clicks, essentially.) After a bit of digging online it appears the stingy folk at Ford would only actually prepare the car for ISOFIX from new if you specifically asked when ordering it (we were not asked), unsurprisingly they now want to charge a significant amount to retrofit it.
Annoyingly I came across many forum posts from a Talk Ford member asking people to scan their brochures for them so they could build a free resource, ironically you now have to pay to see them, classy!
