Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Premium is definitely worth it for engine health, but you don't need it every tank. A guy at work took his old Vauxhall's V6 engine apart not long ago. He has always run it on premium and it was like a new engine inside, no buildup at all.

As of this morning my phone constantly connects, disconnects and reconnects through bluetooth. Tried deleting the pairing and re-pairing but no luck.

Any ideas?

Mine did this after a few months of owning the car. In the end i removed the fuse for the sync system/bluetooth module. Worked a treat and has been perfect since. Fuse 24 (i think) in the glovebox.
 
I had a look at a 2016 ST today but two things came up which I thought were odd. Firstly both front (lesser extent at the rear) alloys were quite corroded / surface rust in the inside and when you opened the doors fully there was paint missing inside the bit of front arch behind the door, if you know the bit I mean? I can upload pics if it helps. Are both of those known issues?

Had mine for over 2 years from new and have none of this. Sounds like one I would steer clear of.

Just wonder wheeled my alloys and they all look like new (apart from where i curbed one of them slightly :(). No paint missing on the inside of the doors anywhere as far as i have seen.
 
Thought it was odd, thanks. Pics below to show what I mean -

Thanks for the replies. The corrosion was just the bits on the alloys, I know you'd expect that on the discs but never seen it on alloys like that before. I did rub it a bit and it looked to me like it would need a fair bit of work to remove or would need to be dipped/blasted. Inside door was same on both so was just a bit surprised by the quality of the work from factory - are most like that? The car had 20k on the clock in 12 months so certainly been used frequently which is why it was a decent price (13.9k ST3).
