Of course it is! I'll have to re-read it but I recall the only upside the 208 had over the ST was the LSD, hence them saying if the test inviolved a track element to it the 208 would have won the day. Regardless, it's punching well after the opposition have had two years to come up with a...

I saw something similar at the weekend, driving like a weapon is the only explanation for it...

Door sill lights are deemed a 'trim' item and therefore only covered for twelve months. But...I've just been called back by the dealer and they've said they will order a replacement unit and do it for me for nothing, again, as a goodwill gesture! RESULT! Since I bought the car I've given them...

Nope. Not heard of a single case of that happening at all so far. Rear-view mirror sorted? Funnily enough I was called 10 minutes ago by my dealer saying they'll sort the door seal as a goodwill gesture but unsurprisingly, not the passenger sill light. Grrrr.

Ah, roger. I didn't see them flashing.

Does anyone do one that works more like they do in F1? Where half the strip of lights come on one by one then the second half illuminate together? That's how I'd want one, seeing half come on at once in your peripheral vision is a lot easier I'd imagine than trying to gauge if the last...

I love Llandow. Not high speed but very technical. The only thing I'll add is that you should focus on being smooth first then the pace will naturally follow. Your car will thank you for it.

Maybe I should have put spoiler tags around the Evo thing, it's not in the shops yet, I read it in my subscriber copy. I had circa 18k from my first set and the second still have 2mm remaining at 38k. Will get some more before Goodwood but for me, the standard fit Bridgestone RE050s, last/wear...

12.5 k intervals. As for the fan...I can't say I've ever been aware mine's been running, at all. You need to get that checked out...is your temp gauge still staying on four bars?

I use these Colin; http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/cleaning-body-repair/interior-cleaning-vacuums/armor-all-car-dashboard-wipes-matt-finish-x-30 I too am paranoid about using something that leaves any element of gloss but these, with a light wipe with a dry microfibre afterwards to...

Here's a few minor updates from me; Two years passed on 1st June and I've just breached 37,750 miles in it. Costs etc are as they always have been so I can't be arsed with charts as they're nigh on identical to the last ones. It had its third and last free service by the dealer today. They...

Surely there'll be a buoyant market for mint secondhand examples soon enough. "Never worn outside of my abode" etc.

In mine I had the R-Sport ECU so 7,850 limiter. I used to shift around 7k and only ever really used the extra revs if I could save a down-shift before turn-in.

You're using your phones as walkie talkies? Good luck with that when you get pulled over!

Confronted with the innards of the gearbox or by that tangled mess of wires I'd run and hide. You sir have awesome skills. Coming along nicely!

This is the exact same argument I'm having with myself right now. Head says MR230 the ST and be done with it for another 60k miles. Head and heart say FRS.

So from that PMR446 is specifically included in the legislation?

New FRS and nil change.

I always thought that two way radios, as Ron said above, were very specifically excluded from the mobile device while driving thing. Is that not because various professionals have to use them when performing duties? Police? Taxis? Ambulance?

Nice, I like that, makes me miss my old one. Sniff.

Love the front end, love the car. That spec but with black paint was my original choice before I visited Ford and went all common. Nice.

What a car.

After 37k hard miles I hagve none of the above. Friday afternoon car?

It is?! Standard graph reads at midway between 210 and 190 on the left axis. If you download and print the graph you can see the axis gridlines...they're not visible on my screen so it does look like it's not at 200...but it is.

Comparing like for like, quoted from STOC; I Just thought i would do some comparisons for stage 2 kits from standard; fitting varies around the country plus you can DIY so........ Mountune MR 230 - £2295 + Fitting (230ps with 340NM ) Revo stage 2 with scc performance using the website...

No more so than any other tuner when you take everything into account hardware wise, compare like for like with anyone else and the costs are very similar. The difference with Mountune is that they promise 230bhp and insist you have the additional hardware to ensure the car is running as well...

LOL at Clio hate. For me, the ST feels just like a Clio, but engine wise it's got one on steroids. Wheezy NA engines can f*** off. I've decided I'm going MR230 (I can't resist the improved power/torque graphs much more)...just not quite sure when I'll do it yet. Maybe toward the end of this...

I like this. It keeps the playing field level and forces you to not overdrive your car.

The Craner Curves in a Clio is causing me no end of grief. I nail it maybe once every 5 laps. Fucker. When I get it right it feels so good though.

Nice nice nice. I have a 911 itch I need to scratch...but for similar money I could have a spanking new Focus RS next year...and I think depreciation on both may well be similar. The 911 is a hard sell because of the girls...the Focus less so. Grrrr. Decisions decisions. Will probably just...
