im tempted to go the meet tomorrow, anyone good going?

 

well test drove a 06 plate mondeo st tdci in silver today 50k miles was very impressed it was like sitting in an armchair bags of room and the boot is massive was offered £3200 for jos fiesta so not bad

im after a blue one but needed to have a good look round one

budget is about 7.5k with 3k trade in

was stuck in old trafford ford dealership for an hour and a half

god its dead in here

 

nice

you can get low mileage titaniums for less than 4k if you look. not a great deal of difference

 

prefer the look of the ST i did think about the tit x but the look just doesnt cut it

 

Well looked at 2 blue ones today one was a dog and the other sold as I got there gutted as it wasnt half bad

 

i know what you mean mate, the st is so much better looking than any other mondeo, just take your time justin, there are good ones about mate so worth waiting, have you looked on the stoc and the like?

 

Sort of the problem is I need to use the fiesta as part ex worth about £3200

Theres another blue one coming in this week thats only got 48k on it the guy said it should be mint lets hope so. Ive 2 week more off so got lots of time to look

 

I need to get some jack covers on mine, lost one of them. Need to sort new alloys out as well as the st 18" are cr@p (hairline cracks develop on the inside which results in tyres deflating - cost me 2 tyres)

 

well taken the plunge bought this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...ge/1?logcode=p

it has the odd mark on it but its swirly heaven lol needs a good polish

Jay where is the 6 disk changer?

 

looks nice mate, youll love it when you get to drive it more, the cd player is the head unit, just press load and it will keep loading all 6 discs mate, very good head unit as well as it should have the sony one

 

ah thats why i couldn't find it we pick it up on monday does the unit play mp3 disks


the car is for jo i will also need to get the wheels refirbed as they have the usual corrosion they all suffer with

 

doesnt play mp3. although unit says sony it is actually made by visteon. they are poor units and suffer from disc read problems.

 

nice car btw hope you took it for a decent run and accelerated hard in 4th

 

jay you must of bought the worst st in the country, my sony head unit was brilliant. the wheels are diamond cut so may cost a bot more to get refurb'd

 

Ste when I say poor I meant by the failure rates (a check of ford forums will confirm). When they work they are ok, nothing more though.

and yes i did buy the worst st!

Svs the focus rs wheels look good on the st seem better quality as well I have one on mine as i got it as a spare

 

Just had a quote of 125 per wheel to diamond cut my wheels seems expensive

Why floor it in 4th?

 

flooring in 4th should show up any fuelling issues which can be expensive to rectify. look on ebay for the wheels, company in blackpool do refurb for about £250 ish drive in drive out or take them in and they swap them for refurb wheels. choice of finish as well

 

svs, check here for refurb wheels These are powder coated

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/0080-x4-Li...item4ab73dd24c

 

I see the wheels ive been quoted 65 per wheel for ford silver powdercoated by www.wheelrite.co.uk
I might judt do that as I can buy new alloys for the cost of the diamond cut

Need some new mats and ive ordered some cleaning gear needed clay and some iron x

 

may give them a shout to get 2 of my wheels repaired

 

ha ha, just come back from hols and someone has nicked the 2 damaged wheels!

 

Lol jippos thst I bet

Im liking the rs wheels just missed a genuine set fot 320 quid delivered


Would they go on with no problems some say use a 15mm spacer but I dont want any rubbing issues

 

which are the rs wheels? If its the same I have it fits with no spacer

 

can get a set of st wheels with tyres for £200 off a petrol st. Good condition as well. could get them then sell mine, and I would still make a bit of profit based on current ebay prices

 

just come back from 2 nights camping in a place called Plassey by wrexham, great weekend with a load of us and the kids, couldnt fault the weather which i suppose makes it really.

Spotted a scooby cosworth there as well, didnt look like 50ks of car to me haha

 

missed out on these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3604590843...#ht_1935wt_698

but theres also copys with a better off set like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3305684420...9#ht_751wt_932

 

prefer the standard st wheels to those to be honest.

I haveone of these in black, seems to suit the st

there like the old venoms not my cup of tea picked the car up before impressed with the drive even in 6th it pulls

 

had a nice day out today at wellybobs farm - gave me chance to streach the ST`s legs very nice and the cruise control is great

question i could only manage 46 mpg shouldnt it do over 50?

would cleaning out egr and inlet manifold help maybe carbon build up

a lot of people seem to blank the egr with the plate with the little hole in it so it keeps the ecu happy and doesnt cell up
