  1. I've occasionaly but just put it down to not being put in gear fully, its only happened to me like 5 times in two years
  2. mattburton79, Welcome! Defo get some more pics up when you get chance!
  3. I don't but want to myself so will be keeping a close eye on this thread
  4. 57 plate had since new - 1.8 petrol and just hit over 26k :( Got a new job close to home now so should re-coup that a bit!
  5. dippydan, Cheap pot pf Brake paint from Halfords, they've got a few other colours as well THink is was about £10 and I've got about 3/4 left over
  6. Done the front cal's on mine but painted them blue to match the colour
  7. Got o ford to get it sorted, I've got tiny bit of rust underneath my bonnet which I'm getting sorted. The only trouble is isn't the smoothest of jobs. I've had to get to the dealer, they take pics, then send to ford who make authorise the work, as far as I know you have o go through the middle man
  8. When speaking to it if you forget a command or sub menu just say Help and it will give you the options
  9. oobster, Beautiful, I've got the Zetec version same wheels and colour so you've got the best choice :)
  10. Looking good mate, I like! Have you lowered it at all? looks like its a little high up atm?
  11. Just had a service and my pads are down to 30% but didn't want to pay the 135 quid that the dealer quoted. I'm on a 57 plate and someone mentioned that ford doesn't release the pads to 3rd parties for 3 years anyone know if this is true? If not anyone know of a good place to get some?
  12. Same issue here, Combination of the iPod and port just not being able to give enough power into the radio.
  13. Just got it but have to wait till Saturday to do it. I know theres some instructions with it (Havn't had chance to read them yet) But wondering if there is any need for me to do a How-to ? If not then I won't bother . Nick
  14. Mine was used for one of the research cars for Piper - Its the same placment as the ST one just I went for a twin outlet (at least as far as I can remeber was a good year ago now!)
  15. Yeah, soz I just realised you wanted 3d, I think its around 4.5 in 3rd. Yeah its Twin pipe with Twin outlets :) - all I need is the bumber to make them look good lol Not the best pic but the first one I could find
  16. Well when I was happily plodding along the M20 today I was sitting at 70 and it was around the 3,200 area on the revs. I've got the 1.8 durtec but also have a Piper cat back on it at the moment. Current MPG on the computer is 32 on the nose and thats a mixture of sensible/non sensible driving. As Russ said I if you want to redline it you can get a good 60/65mph out of it. adampick, When I was a estate agent I use to get thoese figuars, its amazing what doing short trips do to it! EddieCorstin, Getting back on topic I've had my 1.8 mk2 for just over a year now and had a 1.6 mk1 befor ha
  17. I'm not sure on the first point but if nobody answers I can try on my 1.8 for you. Where I've always found the the extra from the 1.8 is once its rowling. Its a good off the liner but when moving along droping it down a gear and going for it seems to beat most others in its class.
  18. Nebb2k8, I've sent you a PM with my mate to contact, he can find what your looking for. Nick
  19. I'm not expcting to make mine fasster or similar to the 2.0 but at the time I was limited to what I could get it was either a standard 2.0 or a 1.8 with all the styling extra's so I thinkk it's swings and roundabouts especial since my cat-back was free and the k&n is a Christmas pressie :)
  20. AndyFocusST, I had it with my sony, no issues with my iPhone. I noticed if it was a sudden discounted... If the car stalled ( :oops: ) or if I'd powered down then rushed away. Myine use to have the headfone's symbol if it was connected to the car so after I'd locked up I'd check my phone, if the symbol was there I'd restart the phone. Annoying but my suggestion would be is once the key is out the ignition just sit in the car for maybe 5 seconds more - even on silent mine use to beep when bluetooth was connected/not connected Nick
  21. Nebb2k8, Tell you what PM me your contact details and I'll get my mate to give you a call, he can sort out the car purchase side. I brought my last two off him and know him well. I'd recommend Piper for the exhaust, they've got their own min forum at the bottom of the index but mainly as Garry is a top notch feller and is more focused on getting you the right product then just selling them The K&N I'm getting over christmas, a few people on here have them fitted and come recommened Eibach's are the most common for lowering around - I got mine fitted by the deal for easy when I brough
  22. Nebb2k8, I've got a mk2 1.8 petrol Zetec Climate. Its a 125bhp standard but I've got a Piper cat back on it which defo helps on the throttle pick up I brought mine with the ICE and Sports pack which is (at the time) top sony headunit with bluetooth and voice controls as well as 17 wheels, colour coded spoiler and side bits. I love mine, same situ as you would love a ST but budget said now. Just in the process of fitting the cold air induction, I recond you could easily get it up to 150 bhp plus PM if your local to the Kent/South London area as a good mate of mine works for ford and I
  23. Ronaldo, not as hard as it sounds, I'm just in the process of building my enclosure at the moment and going down using a converter route :)
  24. Where did you get these from mate, I'm putting them on my crimbo list. More pics please :)
