Might require a new instrument cluster. Prob cost about €400 from a ford service centre. Think it is a common enough issue with the focus.

Cleaning the contacts on the back of the cluster has been known to remedy this. If not you can buy a cluster from ebay alot cheaper than the €400 ford would quote for one.
