could be the alternator brushes but only if when it goes quiet etc the battery light comes on / the headlights go very dim etc..

best bet is to get the ecu checked for fault codes tbh

sounds silly, make sure the battery cables are on properly
or try the alternator, very common fault in the focus range

Nothing to do with electrical problems that relate to the instrument panels? When I had my Focus, it did something similar but alternator was fine. I was pretty sure it was an electrical fault as it was on Watchdog the other day too....
