IT's disapearing from lots of websites. Looks like ford are pulling the plug. Hope buymynewcar can honour orders already placed. If they cant they should give us back our deposits so that we can get one from elseware.

GrayKnight, This has happend before and they did say that all orders will be met.

Just been reading a road test on wanadoo and picked this up. If you are in first or second gear, the ECU allows the revs to stretch to 7000; in all other gears, the limit is 6500 rpm

It was the same with the puma only advertised when they had to.

It's unusual for ford to advertise in this way.Wonder if sales are slipping.

Did anyone see it it was on ITV 19.45 tonight.

Does it not sit in a poly/ foam surround that sits in the bottom of the boot under the carpet. Is there a an anker point under that? can someone have a look.

Never thought of that cheers will probably stick to the foan option now.

Since ordering my st a few things have changed. For instance you now get a deeper boot because the spare wheel has been replaced by tyer foam. I am thinking of specking my st with the cost free spare wheel, i know i will lose six inches in boot depth but i could probably buy some foam from halfrds and remove the spare on the odd occasion i need more space. What do you think guy's? PPL with the new ST have you tried this?

Looks like its a wait then hope were not at the back of the que.

scook2003, I was refering to the trade in pice they gave me for my current st170 and then only one week later when i went to order they gave me a lower one. Trying it on i think!!!!!!!!

Ive always bought from the local dealer. They gave me a good price for my st and then a week later when i went to order, the price had fell by a grand. Are people supposed to put up with this, I for one am not. so yes i was anoyed and decided to purchase from a broker.

I got it aswell. And will stick with it for now. If ford know that theese fleet companies are selling to the general public then why havent they stopped suppling cars to them full stop. It would be a different story if the st wasent selling in great numbers. :evil:

emailed customer services last fridayand dident get a reply so emailed sales yesterday and got a reply fairly quickley.

182 blue have you heard anything form them? I emailed them day before yesterday asking if they had any delivery dates yet? This is what they said Garry I have been promised them this week but can’t put too much pressure on the dealer as I know they are staring to limit orders considerably and have already stopped a competitors orders. Many Thanks Lisa Hardman Hope its not going to be bad news.

This is a question for all you lucky people that have taken delivery of your new st's. The new ST now comes with adjustable steering settings Firstley what are the settings second which setting do you prefer

ollyTB did you read this bit. THIS IS NOT A BLEED VALVE - IT IS A HIGH PRECISION MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER THE RSPEC BOOST CONTROLLER IS A HIGH PRECISION PRESSURE CONTROL DEVICE THAT IS USED TO EASILY AND ACCURATELY ADJUST YOUR TURBOS OUTPUT. THIS VALVE GIVES LARGE BHP GAINS, GREATLY REDUCES ANNOYING TURBO LAG, TOTALLY ELIMINATES WASTEGATE CREEP AND PEAK BOOST IS HELD FOR LONGER......TURN CLOCKWISE FOR MORE POWER - TURN ANTICLOCKWISE FOR LESS POWER.......IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!

When i bought a new puma i went to Oulton park and Ford provided 20 or so cars.

Never driven the golf but prefer the st. Not only looks better but performs better and is alot cheaper. Focus st all the way.

Nice one mate would love to see some pics also as i have a blue one on order. Hope you enjoy it.
