Indeed!

I used to have a Focus ST, but due to my daily commute at the time had to sell it frown So Im very jealous! I live rather close to you also, but just took it to the local Ford dealership for the service. I run my own workshop, but since I haven't had the need to invest in the software to communicate with the ECUs, getting the latest updates was far easier taking it to the local dealership. Obviously for run of the mill, changing brakes, suspension, and cooling mods I did them myself.

As said...jealous...miss mine frown

The guy I bought it off said exactly the same he was gutted especially as he tried to negotiate with his better half for getting an RS as a replacement

She wasn't having any of ...bloody savvy females grrrrrrrr

I'm moving to Trowbridge in August, my commute is 20 miles there and back so I hope I can afford it else some lucky bugger be having mine as well

So do you still have a workshop then ?? Or did I read that wrong

Only asking coz I want to do a full oil n filter and just get her looked over
Pretty confident I don't need some fancy dandy machine to do that smile
