Hi Picking up my new Focus by the end of the month. Have opted for bluetooth but checking the compatible mobiles on the Ford site mine, a Samsung E900 doesn't rate that highly and a lot of the features don't work. I'm therefore considering a Nokia E65. Anyone with the bluetooth found that some mobiles are better than others? How have you got on with your mobiles and their ease of use as hands free? Cheers - Mike

Hi Pete Been out in a couple of Titanium Focus (both 1.8 TDCI). Very good and I should get mine by the end of the month. Don't think dealers are up to speed on their specs yet. I certainly know more than the delaers I've been to. A little frustating when you want answers. Anyway, the car is an improvement in my view. I have opted for cruise and hence the 4 spoke wheel. I have seen some `non cruise' models witht he spoke spoke also. Incidentally, saw a new shape performance blue ST in the local showroom. Looks good, but didn't have the improved impact I was expecting over the one I'v

You'll need to elaborate - How do you clean your motor???

Hi Chaps Looking to fit a Thule cycle carrying kit to the roof of my new Focus. Anyone done this? Any problems? Are the foot packs a good fit and do they leave marks? Cheers - Mike

Are you happy with it? Does it have premium bluetooth or basic? Does it ahve the `Voice control system'? Has it got the `voice' button on the audio controls? Thanks! Mike :wink:

Hi - Have ordered my new Focus but loooking on the Ford site there is an option for advanced navigation and bluetooth for 750 opposed to the full touch screen sat nav. Has anyone got one of these on their cars? Any good? And if so do you recommend it or is the Sony system in the car ok. My dilema is that Imy new car has the solar reflective screen and not sure my sat nav will work. Don't really want wires for additional aerial! Nice choice to have to make I know......Sony unit on the Titanium looks ok, but would have been nice in all silver. Thanks chaps.

Think I'd take it back to the dealer and ask them to look at it, if still under warranty. Had a similar noise on my wife's 207. It turned out to be the head rest. Adjusted and it's fine. Mike

Hi - Just order my Titanium Focus. The sports suspension is included within the `Sports pack, a £500 option. For this you get 18' Alloys and sports suspension. Drive the 1.8 TDCi version of my car with this suspension and it felt good and I've previously owned an RS, ST170 and ST Focus. Mike

Thanks - Looks like the Solar screen is good, but does cause Sat Nav problems. Shame. Thanks for your advice. Mike

Hadn't seen that article. Good advice, thanks. Mike :wink:

Hi Chaps Got my new Focus on order a 2l TDCi Titanium. Question is, is the DPF worth the extra £300. Ie, should I go for it or not? Cheers Mike

Hi Chaps I have just order a 2l TDCi Titanium and being abloe to purchase as a privilege sale have got about 25% off list price and options. Therefore, I have added: Sport pack Sun roof Titanium X pack Bluetooth DEATC Tyre deflation system Park assist The X Pack comes with the solar reflective windscreen and I understand that I won't be able to use or may have problems with Road Angel Navigator. Therefore, I am considering the sat nav option ilo the DEATC. The downside is that it doesn't have the speed camers. My questions are: 1 - Does anyone have a solar reflective sc

Excellent Glenn. Good choice of car and extras. You won't be disappinted with the Sat Nav, it's excellent. I was interested in the key free system but decided against it in the end. Would be interested in your comments about this. Enjoy and yes pics, looking forward to seeing them. :wink:

Cheers - What a result! :wink:

Thanks chaps. Can someone confirm what bulbs are needed please, so I can put them in mine. Also, is there any trim that needs to be replaced to fit them?? Thanks - Mike

Only if we've been out and I have had a couple of beers!

Sensors are useful mate, especially as my wife will drive it sometimes :wink:

Went to my dealer today and saw an ST2, that was fully spec'd up. Eg parking sensor, climate control, auto lights, wipers etc, however no heated screen. Looks like yours isn't the only one.

Think this is the demonstartor from Yeovil Ford or the one that a lady in Stoke sub Hamdon bought back in December.

Mine built 20th Jan. ST3 with park assist and sat nav. Should be here by the end of the month!

smjohns - You were right. Chap at Ford's has confirmed site incorrect and the `Visibility Pack' is an option not included. Thanks (I think)
