CasuallyDressed Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Also is it just me or can I see condensation inside your headlights? I wouldn't be surprised because mine gets that quite badly.Yep, the headlights were misted up when it arrived. she said it might be because of the jet wash she just ran it through but I'm not convinced, especially coming from the woman who described what were quite clearly and blatantly scratches as 'not scratches.' OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmizz93 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Scratches are quite concerning.. You'll have to find out as to whether they're scratches or just swirl marks.. Give the car a nice bath and polish afterwards and see if the marks disappear, if not I'd be marching right back to ford and having it out with them.

OK. It's reassuring to know that new cars have the condensation problem too, I thought I'd caused it myself by changing the bulbs. Mine were the same when I picked it up. Next time I checked they were all clear and not seen it since I think it depends where you are or what the temperature is outside. I notice it more often at my parents' than I do at home. Do you keep yours in a garage? I don't but I heard that can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope out on the road. Was a fairly warm day that I picked it up too, but it had also just been 'valeted'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelzi2lv Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Does the bluetooth allow you to play music through your phone, or just naswer calls?., my fiesta now only lets me answer calls and wont actually play music via bluetooth, Not liking how people are having issues with the aux/bluetooth, mine better be okay lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yes it does let you play music via bluetooth. I can't really comment on how well that works though because I play my music from a USB stick instead. I've heard you lose some quality with bluetooth, not that you would notice with the road noise, but it will probably drain your phone battery too.

Philf1 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I used bluetooth for music/phone/satnav and it works fine. I did have a permanent power feed to the phone though as it killed the battery. Changed now to a micro usb for music as phone memory was full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have a good look round,, make sure your happy with the colour match on the bumpers, make sure the rear bumper isn't loose where it meets the wheel arches ( the bumper does flex but some people have had the bumper be loose on one side), side skirts aren't loose, has it got the locking wheel nut key and filler funnel. And go to a garage and check the tyre pressures, most garage s over inflate the rears and it ruins the ride, lok at the decal on the passenger B pillar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Other than the usual walk around the vehicle.. Definitely walk around and carefully look for scratches. I did this but not carefully enough, missed a scratch on the roof but luckily when I took it to the dealer they polished it out. Other than that, there's nothing really to worry about with it being covered by a warranty. There are some common rattles on the inside but they might not be a problem at first.

CasuallyDressed Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Hello everyone, not posted for a while; been busy enjoying the new motor! 😊 Anyway, might be a silly question but do the wingmirrors on this thing not fold in? The manual says to set the mirror selection to the middle and press the down directional button, but that doesn't do anything. Put around 600 urban miles on her and averaging 29.7MPG. Average speed is 19mph. God damn traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What spec is yours? ST3s do but only ST2s with the convienience pack which includes keyless entry. If your mirrors are meant to fold in there will be a wing mirror symbol at the bottom of the switch, if you have this they could be disabled in the settings menu, they usually come from the factory switched on.

It's an ST-2, so that means I can't ever fold y mirrors in? Seems a bit daft. Also having a bit of an issue with Sync. Just upgraded from a Windows Phone to an iPhone. Everything's working except it won't read out texts to me. The Windows Phone worked fine and would always read them out. With the iPhone, Sync will still make and receive calls, play music, use voice commands etc., but it won't read out my texts. Bit annoying! Any ideas?

CookieM Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 When I was at fords getting my sisters car we were chatting about the iPhone compatibility and he was adamant that they just never read out texts. I was sure I'd seen my mates one working (ios7). Maybe he was right.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's an ST-2, so that means I can't ever fold y mirrors in?Seems a bit daft. Push them in with your hand. Did you not look into what the car comes with as standard or what the options were? Also having a bit of an issue with Sync. Just upgraded from a Windows Phone to an iPhone.

With the iPhone, Sync will still make and receive calls, play music, use voice commands etc., but it won't read out my texts. Bit annoying! Any ideas? Could be to do with iOS 8 if that's what you have, if not I think you have to turn notifications on in the phones bluetooth settings. I think as I can't be bothered with it on my ST.
