You can purchase the car at the end of the lease.
I'm down to 4mm on the fronts after 9k. I Couldn't be arsed to rotate and I'm wishing the tread away as I find the Bridgestones shite.
WTF is that locking wheel nut removal about!!
We get stuff like that all the time in work and have never left a scratch on a wheel, let alone mullering one!
That's shocking workmanship tbh.
Mine grind aswell, it seems standard practice.
Has anyone else had to constantly move around a piece of crap trim infront of the instrument cluster? like a gap-killer kind of trim?
Love it! I missed the chance a few years ago to buy a Mk1 RS because I dithered. I unfortunately cant see myself getting the chance again now.. One of my biggest car-non-purchase regrets. 😢
Ahhhh!! This thing is the don of ph1's... I too, really hope it finds the hands of a decent owner.
Such a shame, but next up IMO for you... Mk1 Focus RS!
Any vids?

Bar the stupid dashboard design, its comfortably a better car than the...
What kind of extensive work? if I for some reason decided to stick near on the same goodies as you have to my Fiesta... Does that count for extensive or am I missing a trick here?
I should imagine the Megane to be better than the Fiesta, Its Focus RS territory tbh..
I'm inclined to sort of agree with @Matthew , its not like the Fiesta is a wheezy-powered Ignis/Swift/Panda/Twingo where 70mph makes things a real event.
Granted his Megane may be knocking on 300bhp and has more going for it in the reaching-it-limits stake... but reaching the upper limits of...
Lol I was only thinking about this N/S suspension clunking/thudding noise yesterday. Glad to hear other people are experiencing this as I was thinking mine had some kind of problem.
I get the odd rattle interior wise but I can't be bothered to chase it. Rear brakes grind aswell..
