Furthest trip in mine was when I bought it - Crawley to central Scotland in the pouring rain.

Very nice Dave - quite similar to mine!

P.S. Where about in Scotland are you?

Very nice! I like the front grille - what make is it/where did you get it? Cheers oobster

http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... c&t=211859 Also - a couple of places i've just checked say the Mondeo ST220 alloys are 7.5J so a bit thinner than your 8J alloys. Which ones did you get? Lastly! I went for Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta XL tyres (you need to get the extra-load ones) from Elite - I think they were £345 delivered.

Hi stu - I have just put the Mondeo ST220 alloys on my car, they are 18" but I don't know the offset. I put 225/40 tyres on them, and my car is also lowered on the eibach springs and I dont get any rubbing, even on full lock. Pics of my car are in the Forecourt section - thread title is something like 'My Aquaruis Blue Ghia'.

I took the car into Peoples Falkirk this morning - great service by the way - and they had it fixed pretty quickly. The 'cable' (I assume it's a metal rod?) between the temperature control knob and the heater box had become disconnected right behind the dash. Dunno how that could have happened - I haven't been rooting around inside the dash - but no matter, it's fixed now (under warranty). The journey down to Falkirk this morning was freezing though!

Cheers revoltos. The car is only a year and a half old, would the repair be covered under warranty? I read somewhere that all items are covered for the 1st year but the 2nd and 3rd year of the warranty only cover certain parts? Also - is this likely to be a dash-out job? I'm obviously wanting this fixed but I worry the mechanics won't remove stuff as carefully as I would, and things will end up scratched.

Folks, The heater on my MK2 2.0TDCI Ghia is not working - it's not blowing out any hot or warm air at all. The fan is working fine though, and the Air Conditioning is working fine too. Any ideas? Cheers Andy

Just off the phone to Camskill (and Elite) - order with Camskill cancelled & I should be getting the same tyres (i.e the XL version) off Elite tomorrow for £73 less than what Camskill was charging me! Cheers guys.

ST Jon - I think that price at Elite is for the non-XL versions.

Aye they seem to get a good name (Camskill that is) - although I ordered my tyres late yesterday afternoon (4pm, Wednesday) and I was told the tyres wont arrive by courier until Monday.

Decided to go for the Vredestein Ultrax Sessantas from Camskill - hopefully arriving on Monday. Went for the XL version. Hopefully get them fitted to my brand-new ST220 alloys early next week.

Actually, I think I now know the answer to that - the sidewall of the existing 17" tyres say Extra Load on them so I'm pretty confident i'll need the XL version of the 18" tyre too.

Thanks for that link - do I need the XL versions though (with the slightly stiffer sidewalls?)
