It has done it since new, so I guess it is just a defective part from the factory.

Very nice :D

Are you allowed to keep the car longer if you like it enough?

Can I lick it?

Sorry :P

Looks lovely, your signature will be three pages long soon! ;)

Well I'm tempted to twist it in December for a white one.

I can keep it if i choose too.

Mega pleased with the sync 2 nav, privacy glass and reversing camera.

I think all wheels are a phoenix silver colour unless you specify otherwise

Think you would more than likely get a puncture repair kit rather than a spare.

Best bet is to buy a full size spare or if you want a spacesaver go for one of those

I doubt spacesaver will fit over the ST brakes.

If you get a full size spare, it won't fit in the bootwell either. :(

I used to get between 40 and 50 mpg on my old 2.0 163 diesel, depends on type of journeys.

According to the pictures on the STOC Forum (http://www.focusstoc.com) the 19" are silver.

Driving how you want you can't get it. Below 40mpg.

Sensible your get mid 50s

happy with that

I've done 700 miles already. It can only get better mpg!

Just wish they remove the flipping ECO- stats on the ST! Not required.

As Well it has got start stop ! Laugh out loud. I generally have the Middle screen set to digital speed read out.

The ride is superb and putting into sport mode is a press of the button and turns into a different car. Similarly turning off stop start, just one press. Enjoy!

It's got a mini space saver steel wheel.

STs have different spare wheels to other models as stated before with brakes etc...

Surprised you got a spare wheel, I didn't think they would fit.

I only got an inflation kit...

Yeah it was standard on the Focus ST.

On the fiesta ST it was a option. I wanted to swap and put it in the her Zetec fiesta. We couldn't as it was too big. Fair the play to dealer located one and swapped it over so no cost there. :-)

Inflation kits are a waste of time! The liquid / glue has a expiry date.

Every year there check that at service time and happily charge you £50 for a new pot.

I have found the extra depth in the boot useful though... Lol.

How's your car going Alex, did you get your rattle sorted ?

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC

Not yet, the part is on back order and last I checked Ford hadn't released one from the factory in Germany.

I think all parts are going to the assembly line, and as my exhaust still works (albeit with a rattle) it is probably considered low priority...

What's affected all focus's or just 1.5?

I think the part is just faulty on my car, not a recall or anything that I am aware of

Ordered a new fully loaded Focus titanium x 182 Ecoboost 2 weeks ago but still no build date, rang dealer who is going to chase with ford after the Easter break but is this normal not to have a date by now.
