Yes half leather and heated too. Another thing that annoys me is that EATC is only an option on the ST2. I'm sure I'll still love the car though even with no extras

Mine is the 1.6 petrol Titanium and I love it . I used to get about 37 ish mpg before I moved, which was on a combination of motorway, town and country roads, but you could get 40 or more if you drive carefully. The trip computer tends to show about 6 more mpg than what it really gets.

 

I think you should go for it, compared to a 1.0 this is in a different league. I recently had a 1.0 Citroen C1 as a courtesy car and it seemed so slow in comparison. One thing you'll notice is you can actually go up hills in 5th gear.

Thanks, that's what I expected. It will probably be a few months before I buy the car, so maybe Ford will have come to their senses by then. Do they not realise there are motorways in the UK? You can't have a car costing nearly 20 grand without cruise control...

I had another look in the Haynes manual but still can't find any information on the gap. The front sections are introduction followed by roadside repairs, however in the servicing specifications section it says "spark plugs - refer to Ford dealer or parts specialist". The plugs are AYFS22CB. I still need to measure the new plugs, couldn't find a checking tool so might have to go and buy one.

Thanks for the advice, however I've now heard of 3 different gaps to use ranging from 0.9mm to 1.3mm. How did you find out it was supposed to be 1.3? I still need to measure the new plugs so I'll post again later.
