sparkymatt Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I ordered my ST at the end of March and have been told that the factory have given an estimated build date of around mid May, so hopefully should be delivered middle of June.

Nick58894 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Well, she’s arrived at last! Ordered 31st Jan 2022 and on my driveway this evening. Had a very short drive and so far it exceeds my expectations. Getting dashcam fitted tomorrow, hopefully give it a good wash and wax and then road trip on Friday to North Devon. I’ll post some updates when I have a feel for the car. Hope the rest of you that are waiting get yours soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick58894 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Yep 🙄 It was a long wait, like a lot of posters on here have endured. But I got a 10k discount on Auto Ebid, so can’t complain too much… Now I’ve had a chance to test it out on some nice A and B roads, I can say it was worth the wait! I’m really happy with it. Pulls far better than a 1l eco boost has any right to, handles great and looks really good imo. Just wish I’d specced the matrix headlamps. Very glad I went for the ST Line Vignale (X) instead of the standard St Line - little extras like the digital dash make all the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 The demonstration mk4.5 at my dealership had some crappy placeholder screen fitted. It was the same width as the sync4 screen but only half the height, the functionality was limited also. Luckily my new car came with the correct 13.2" screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time race red was free, white was £250 the rest were £500+ iirc . I’m thinking I’ll save some £ on a cheaper colour and spend on hud or reverse camera or something. Has your engine got an engine cover on it? Some of the later Mk4s didn’t. Sorry bout all the questions, I’m close to ordering one now that lead times are reasonable.

Just checked under the bonnet and there's no engine cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 None of the 1.0 EcoBoost Focus's have had an engine cover since late 2020 build afaik. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea why this is Tom? The now 1L mh has more horses than some of the older 1.5L engines. Not that that should even be a factor. I’ve seen photos of engines without covers. Basically looks like they need a cover! 😐 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.S Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I’ve read people buying and fitting engine covers but for me Motability won’t allow that. If it’s not fitted in the factory it’s a ‘100% no modifications’ from MB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw I know you didn’t qualify but AP for STLX is down at £1600. But then paint and maybe an extra pack talking way over £2k. Next quarter is June 1st. I’m getting reviewed now by social security Scotland. You know what it’s like, stressful AF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamb0_1874 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 So I was heading to the airport this morning and hit a big old wood pigeon that hopped off the kerb Infront of me. Anyway, it's done a real job on the lower front grill. Had anybody got any ideas of the part number or how easy it would be to replace?

The black square on the right, is that just a cover or is it the radar for something like active cruise or emergency braking? Someone on here will know.
