| Nov 2014145050 miUS $13 | Brake pedal pad had worn down and become slippery. Replaced with F6DZ-2454-AA - $11.18. (Didn't make a huge difference, though. Keyless entry fob lettering had worn off. Replaced keypad with E-bay part for $0.65 | ||
| Dec 2014146000 miUS $160 | Coolant seep from radiator and heater hoses at housing in cold weather. R/R thermostat housing with early Focus housing (common failure item) and coolant tank (cloudy) and related hoses. Failure likely due to previous R/R of spring clamp. | ||
| Jan 2015146500 miUS $125 | Replaced right headlight bulb. Replace PCV Valve for Oil Leakage, but the problem was actually the valve cover gasket. Replaced brake drum with pressed-in bearing to correct roaring wheel bearing. Cheaper to buy both than to buy only the wearing and have a shop press it into the drum. | ||

Also replaced valve cover vent hose as preventive maintenance. Did not fix leak. Replaced leaking oil pressure switch - previously mis-diagnosed as oil pan gasket leak.

Following non-reported pad replacement, tried to bleed brakes and replaced brake fluid in entire system. Re-positioned brake pad retaining clip and accidentally twisted brake hose. Took car to shop, they fixed hose and tried to bleed brakes and mis-diagnosed problem as master cylinder failure. | ||
