GO TO THIS LINK. At 2min 38 sec. it shows the belt layout http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nsvDcUG_eo4Incase you can't here goes. Clock wise. Power steering, altenator, idler pulley, air con, cranck, tensioner, water pump back to power steering. Little space and quite tricky to get belt over all the pulleys without it popping of somewhere. I also have a problem with the belt supplied by spare shops. 6pk2100, its to small. at least on mine.

When rocking the steering there is usually some noise from a steering system that has a few miles on it especially from the majority of power steering types as not only is the rack slipper bearing likely to make noise but also the hydraulic spool valve and possibly even the rack end bush. Sometimes the clunking noises can be worrying they are so loud. If there are steering stops on the lower arms and hubs the noise can be very loud on full lock and a moving vehicle. There might be track rod problems but there is no point guessing - the car has to be inspected, jacked up and the wheels shook to check for wear and free play and on the ground the steering wheel has to rocked while the steering gear is inspected. If inspection finds nothing the noise is clearly caused by "acceptable" wear...

When you say will not crank over,do you mean it won't run or the starter won't turn the engine to start? IF the starter is turning the engine BUT it won't start,look on the side panel forward of the passenger door under the glove compartment area,you will see a hole.put your finger in and push down on the fuel reset switch,the car should run now.

What year is your focus ? Maybe controlled by a GEM - electronic module .

hiya cars dont have relays for brake lights as its too low power. If you have power across the switch you may want to check the connections to the bulb holders and then check the bulbs themselves. If no power at bulb holders you need to check the loom which, unless you have had some welding or similar disruption would be very odd. Check for a good earth at rear bulb holders too, quite oftena poor earth will cause many faults.

Has the vehicle been in a crash or minor accident recently? Have you installed any amps or anything under the seats? Are seatbelt tensioners working properly? These are typical issues.

This has 1 bolt use an extension grab with pliers

There's an emissions sticker under the hood that tells you if not auto zone or the Internet will tell you
