Hi there

Every now and then I notice the Speed Needle drop to zero for a few seconds then it goes back to normal. At the same time the car feels like it has dropped a gear, I can feel the power seem to drop. It would do this maybe once every few months but recently it has done it 3 times in a few weeks. Even though the car drives ok still. The Car is a MK1 T reg Ford Focus 1.8 Petrol.

The funny thing is it always does it around the same time after starting the car, about 10-15 minutes into my trip and around the strip of road.

Possibley the speed valve sensor? The car is regularly serviced and has had the coil pack/HT leads/Battery changed within the year.

Thanks guys

So does it need fixing? If it just does it now and then for a few seconds or can it lead to a bigger problem?

Thanks
