Andy.B1971 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 My utterly reliable and trusted 10 plate 1.6 TDCI has left my household, I loved it to bits someone is going to get a really nice car :(........... on the other hand I just bought a car 2 years older 1 owner and 24000 on the clock with 5 cylinders (BIG GRINS) it has a fuel gauge like a rev counter but hey you don't buy a toy if the fuel consumption bothers you ...do you........ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAIDER32 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I have the same urge for an extra cylinder, a few times I've had a peak at 2008 ST's on Auto Trader. Not many 'One Lady Owners' though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzetecs Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Been looking at st's for few weeks now problies a 2008 model aswell, trying to see one for about 7-7500k with decent miles on. Really dont thinks my 1.8 tdci excited me enough and sick of noisy diesels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy.B1971 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I live by Gatwick Airport, A couple of pointers BEFORE you take the plunge fuel consumption if your bothered about it don't do it , on a run 30-40 mpg round town etc mid 20's if you really hoof it 12-13. road tax I went from a type r to my diesel £290 down to £30 and now back to £290. Depending on age insurance can be HIGH or LOW Tyres being 18" can be pricey for quality rubber Fortunatly nick at st-focus.com is a TOP bloke and sorted a new set of hankooks for me I fitted them sunday and set the car up on the HUNTER HAWKEYE so now it is running straight.and true. mine is totally standard for now but the shopping list is extreamly long and very very expensive. I went to buy a blue one but it was sold it did me a favour really as this one is a 58 plate 1 owner and just done 25000 happy days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy.B1971 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 To ADD I bought my car from Nick at st-focus.com in crawley he is a real genuine guy with a wealth of knowledge about ST's. He has a regular turnover of ST's so be quick if you are interested , I have read that when people turn up to view his cars are dirty all I can say is that his premises are overlooked by big tall trees hence a little dusty. FINGERS UP to all the whingers, When you buy a car from there it is spotless and smelling lovely and Gleaming. check his site out genuine dealers are hard to find and he is definitely one of them !!!! I am just a very happy customer with nothing but praise .......................... :driving: :driving: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loonytaz Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Usb is easy to fit like i have done it in mine the bluetooth you need to check stereo software and buy the module/microphone and 2 little wire clusters and the voice control steering stalk it all adds up but it could be worth fiiting a parrot system instead check gumtree locally some sell them from 30quid + http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_usb_music_box_for_all_ford_audio_and_navigation_systems_with_aux_button__f_1746768.htm Buy and fit this and sorted you can play music through usb stick or older ipods , i have a video but it never allows me to post on this page so if you wanna see i can repost on fb group i also fitted usb switch to next to heated windowscreen switchs Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy.B1971 Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 THAT is exactly what I am looking for, THANKYOU I would probably extend the cable and put it in the arm rest like my previous focus, bluetooth I can live without but memory stick for my music is a must. money saving from the bluetooth can go towards a remap :D That video sounds good though buddy if you wouldn't mind posting it.
