Yes, I discovered the noise was coming from the interior light ages ago but haven't done anything about it yet. No doubt, I should pop it out and take a look. Rik

Will removing the tweeter cover give access to the bolts holding on the wing mirror or does the whole door cover need to come off. My wing mirror needs replaced and don't know if it is a simple DIY job or not. Cheers Rik

I think I read somewhere on the forum that non-Ghia folk can buy a Ford Transit map light part for approx £13 as opposed to the focus version for £50. Rik

Mine is missing too - dealer reports some have some don't. Bought mine used from a non-Ford dealer so can't complain. How much did you pay? Cheers Rik

I think I read somewhere, that someone dipped the clear bulbs in blue ink to get the desired effect. Remember to let them dry :lol: Rik

Saw one in St Andrews last week. Stood out quite well on the dark gloomy day!

What are the pros and cons of using LED for this purpose? Cheers Rik

I can hear a "buzz" going over speed bumps too. It disappears if I dip the clutch? Therefore, I think it may just be a loose component. Will get check out under warranty, aswell as the tinny noise that I sometimes hear when the car is idling (only noticed when I scrape ice off the car in the mornings). Cheers Rik

I had the same problem even after pushing the seal in, over and over again. Finally, I gave it a good push in (moved a bit further than before) and it seems to stuck there - 3 weeks so far so good. Cheers Rik

You'll probably find that Ford recommends BP fuel, as BP have offered the highest price compared to other fuel supplier, so that their little BP logo appears beside the fuel cap. It's a marketing/advertising deal, probably worth millions to ford. I bet you there's some other supplier logo there in mainland Europe. Cheers, Rik

I think you need to take the inner door panel off to get near the bolts that hold the mirror on. Knowing my luck I'll snap the clips. Cheers Rik

My car was in for its first service today - £125 inc VAT and the service generally good :) However, I was informed "did I know about the crack and missing corner piece in my passenger wing mirror?" - no :cry: Now I didn't notice the damage when I left the car this morning and it is possible it could have been damaged during the week...... Anyway, I have been quoted £55 for a new wing wirror (for a zetec climate) and £35 to fit it. I will phone around some other dealers to see it this is a good price. Anyone know if this easy to fit? Cheers Rik

Quotes for 12.5K service: Bramall Laidlaw, Cupar - £125 inc VAT Macrae & * * * * (Auto bad language check - honestly they are called D*ck :o ), Perth - £129.95 inc VAT Prices are regardless of engine type -petrol, diesel or engine size. Never used either before, so a bit of lottery. Cheers Rik

Don't know if you ST guys know this or are interested but the 2 charachter registration code for TAYSIDE is "ST" e.g. ST06 XYZ How likely or possible is it to get your new ST registered in TAYSIDE without being here? BTW: The reg plate on SWMBO's car starts with ST - first £500 offer secures it :D :) :o :wink: (Joke!!) Cheers Rik

Apart from the glove box which is too far to s-t-r-e-t-c-h, there doesn't seem to be a ideal place to store CDs. The door pockets are too small and the boxes rattle and the place beside the power outlet is too small and too near the gear stick. The mid-seat storage box/arm rest is a waste of space. I'm I missing something or have I been spoilt for space in SWMBO's mini-MPV? :lol: Where do you store your CDs? Cheers Rik :?:
