Hi all, I am finally back on here after a few months away - the last time I was on here, I had my Aquarius Blue 2004 Fiesta 1.4 Zetec which turned out to be an utter dog - I then bought a Machine Silver 2003 Focus TDCi Sport, and yes, you guessed it, another dog!  I then went on to a 2004 TDCi Sport in Imperial Blue, which was great to start with, then needed work.... (Currently for sale, thanks to springs snapping and me having no funds to fix!) then I had a Moondust Silver 2007 Fiesta 1.4 Ghia... That lasted exactly one week until some tit jumped his lights and hit me head on, resulting in PY07 FYE becoming a CAT C.   I then went to some big, solid, expensive to repair German thing (2005 BMW 116i SE) which I soon grew tired of it's dull drive and appalling economy.    THEN I got a 2007 Suzuki Swift 1.5 VVT GLX, HUGE fun, cracking car.... Until the gearbox went bang....  Now, as of Monday the 21st March, I shall be in thenew motor, a Frozen White (probably ex lease/rental) 2010 WV60 registered Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 TDCi....  I plan to turn this in to an S1600 TDCi, I have bought brand new wheels from Ford (unsure if I should bother fitting a Rack Limiter) 205/40 R17 Pirelli P Zero Neros, S1600 decal kit courtesy of DMB Graphics and a neat little 'S1600 Edition' gel badge to fit below the TDCi badge on the boot lid.   I now need to source a full S1600 interior, find a good twin tipped    exhaust back box and get sorted with a Ford Approved remap (if anyone knows of one!)

It's good to be back!   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys!

Ben.
