No problem mate the only silly question is a question that is left unasked.

Etis is the system that ford use so I would imagine that it is pretty good at getting its figure correct. The registration document does tell you the power but it is in KW which is easy to convert to bhp. 1KW is the same as 1.34bhp so a 110bhp car would be 82kw.

Sounds like you have dislodged the mechanism hopefully you can get it open if you follow the instructions in the below topic. http://www.ffoc.co.uk/modules.php?name= ... c&t=217606

No problem mate it would surprise you how many people ask the same question.

There is no such thing as a stupid question. This where I put my axle stands when I have the car in the air. For the front I use the lower suspension arm unless I am working on the suspension then I reverse the positions of the jack and axle stand in the bellow picture The rear is even more straight forward just use the rear beam in front of the fuel tank.

My rear bumper was even cheaper I sold that to someone on here for £10 to cover the costs of the packaging :lol: Martin my mate has a nightmare of a time getting stuff to Skye even though there is a bridge attaching it to the mainland it is still classed as an island so postage automatically doubles :roll:

I am not sure what causes them to fail at the time I was more concerned about being able to get my alarm back on so it was just a straight swap for me.

As long as they see the car before the warrenty expires they should honour it. You don't have to touch the latch it's self teh switch is completly seperate and is only held in by 2 bolts very easy to change.

I can't be 100%sure but I think I paid about £20 for it but that was a couple of years ago. If they are not willing to change it under warrenty it will be worth asking Tezza for a price. He can get the parts at a discounted price and I use him for most of my parts, I know he has got a switch for me before so he will be able to get them easily.

There is not a lot you can do about it mate you will have to change the switch, it seems to be quite a common fault. I had to do mine a couple of years ago and it has started playing up again so it will be a mtter of time before I change it again.

The rear bumper will indeed fit, it uses all the same mounting points as well.

The back ones are easy to fit but the front one is a bit more involved as you have to drop the subframe. I did do both of them on my drive though with the car on axle stands so it is possible.

No they are more designed for track cars, the standard items are more than up for the job.

I run the 24mm front and back ARB's and they are awesome, the amount of body roll that they cut out is amazing.

I run a high powered ST and have no problems at all in the snow with the car sliding, I am sorry but if the car is sliding and the ESP has to correct the car you are not driving to the conditions.

This has happened on my car a few times as well but it doesn't happen often enough for me to worry about it.

That looks like oil from the AC compressor, I would get it booked back into the garage to get it repaired if they say it is covered under warrenty anyway.

The stuff from Ford costs about the same as the stuff in Halfords so I would get it from Ford. How much do you need to top it up by, if it is only a little bit then I would just use water.

This is quite a common occurance on the facelift ST's when starting the car but no one has actually had any problems so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

On the ST they tell you that the power steering fluid level doesn't need to be checked. That is just plain stupid do they expect you to wait until the steering fails before you relise there is a leak in the system.

What I can't believe is that Ford go to all the effort of fitting these and then they don't put bulbs in them even in the top models.

I could have made one of these myself with the number of times I have had my car in bits.

I changed them for side repeaters as I perferred them to the ST badges. They will be getting fully smoothed in when I get the car resprayed next year.

Is my car low enough for you. Mine is lowered 50mm on coilovers

I do know that the sessanta's are seen gracing more than uts fair share of ST's they are amazing tyres and fairly cheap as well.
