gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks, looking at getting one myself. I'd imagine they're switch-able with LED bulbs :P first thing I'll do is whip out all the bulbs to replace anyways. I'm waiting for them to start releasing parts on ford parts site or I will just wait for some to show up on brokers yards on the web from a titanium. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ours is showing 38mpg at the min but its only covered 200 miles and the dealer reckons it will increase as the engine settles???? 99% of the miles are the wife extra urban driving and the other 1% me thrashing the life out of it going to the shops. (I also drive with no radio and window open slightly to hear the engine :-))))) Yeah I spoke to my dealer after I bought it just because the service book wasn't in the car and he asked me how I was getting on and I said "it's great only issue is slight lag in the turbo and the mpg" he said the mpg will take a while to get an proper average and the lag in the turbo will adjust to your driving. He said the car adjusts to your driving so it won't always give you the arrow to change gear at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loz Cheung Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I had a petrol zetec s last time and that was great but this just flies makes driving really fun. Revving is much better it doesn't sound like its screaming all the time, you can just hear the turbo revving. Much better. Starting it up is a bit weird almost like a diesel sound. Once you get going it's really good. Glad to hear :) I do miss how manic the engine got above 4000rpm, but the lack of muscle low down did used to frustrate! bet the extra torque is bliss!

plymlad19 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've ordered one in white. Told it will take 8 weeks so another 4 weeks to wait! Bob have you got any photos of your white zetec s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'll probably order this week, not sure if red or white yet but I want the red accented interior :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I will try to get a good one tonight. It took a week to receive ours, if that! The first white one in West Yorkshire, that's my claim to fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They all come with the 17 inch alloys on that I really don't want, so it's going to end up a build for me -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'll probably order this week, not sure if red or white yet but I want the red accented interior :P don't get red please lol i didn't like it what about the dark blue??

b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Dark colours show scratches the most in my experience >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 That is true, just try not to get a scratch :) don't get red though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Meh, it's a nice enough red. Probably white though, just because my 15 month old car looks like a battleground with scratches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 did you say you don't want 17" alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nope, don't want them :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 why's that?? just don't like the look of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Mainly that they're too easily buckled on pot holes if honest, and probably going to change them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Fair enough mate good luck with your choice you can just order the 16" rims instead save you a small fortune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'd replace the wheels with 16 inch's too so can just transfer the tyres across to save more money :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregberry Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 black rims though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Probably yeah, can get some Monza R's for £350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymlad19 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I've just got the standard zetec s wheels. Not seen any photos of the car with the standard alloys apart from the one on the ford website! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 What's the tyre profile on the standard rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymlad19 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 16"x6.5" 12spoke fitted with 195/45 tyres. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b1g_dav3 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Hmm, just they were supposed to have larger profile tyres and they used to be 45's, just I've not found anyone who can say for sure what profile they are >.< lol All the Titanium's have 50 profile, not found out about Zetec S 16's >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie316 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So ford have actually changed the profile from the old titanium 195/45/16's to 195/50/16's. interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
