However far "back" I try and push the armrest it won't "click" to allow the armrest to come down into the correct position. So, I'm now left with an armrest that I can't use (and I miss it LOTS!). Any ideas on how I can correct this? The Haynes manual was comprehensively useless!

Ive read the FFOC forums and it appears in the faults lists. Seems like Ford know about it, but as yours is a 2002, I'm not sure if they'd look at it for free. -- http://www.needmyhelp.com Tito View Public Profile Find all posts by Tito Add Tito to Your Buddy List   #3   09-09-2006, 07:58 PM Guest Guest   Posts: n/a Drivers Arm Rest on 2002 UK Focus Ghia You have damaged the ratchet mechanism usually caused by pressing down too hard on the arm rest. There is a pawl inside the unit which snaps off. The good news is that by pulling of a spring clip the arm rest can be easily removed. The bad news is that Ford charged me approx £55.00 for a new one as the only spare for the unit is a new arm rest.

I've tried taking the armrest apart but it seems its atached to the back of the seat frame and I can't seem to remove it. The armrest was handy but now its broken and I want to remove it altogether unless it can be easily replaced. Seeing your comments I was just wondering how you got on with your armrest and whether you got it repaired or not. Let me know if you could please.
