Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Yea quite often under interior panels, carpets and boot floors there's just primer and no paint :/

But weirdly on my GT86 they seem to have painted absolutely everywhere. Even inside the spare wheel well, under the mount O_o

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).

Doesn't seem like a good price at all? There's a full page on Autotrader of 16 plates for less than that. Half of them have under 10k miles

Looks like prices may have gone back up slightly since I last looked! 2015 ones are the same price I got mine for in September

Thought it was odd, thanks. Pics below to show what I mean -

My wheels get like that, it's the rust from the discs when they get wet. It cleans right off. Door shuts are light on paint, they're all like that etc.

Indeed. A quick search, and I can see a couple the same colour and the same price, but with < 7000 miles.

Looks like I need to extend the search area a bit, didn't realise they had dropped that much recently!

I took the train down to pick up mine, and drove back for two hours

. Good old "work from home" Wednesdays.

How much are you guys paying for Mk7 MP215 insurance and who with?

Comparison sites are pretty much doubling my premium from £400 for the upgrade. Any recommendations?

Nasher · 4 Apr 2017 at 12:39

Greenlight don't charge any extra for Mountune stuff. I got my cheapest from Skyinsurance though.

Thanks.

I think I've figured out the problem with it. I've not updated the electoral roll since I moved address so I guess there will be a mismatch when they search my details. If I use my old address where I'm on the electoral roll (and literally across the street) it is much better. Have updated now and hopefully that will sort it out.

Never posted these in here, probably should have... My new Fiesta ST-3, excuse the phone photos. Very happy indeed

Out with the old, in with the new.....

More additions to the Mk7 club, welcome

How do you guys find it compared to the Mk6/Puma?

My Mk6 had a LSD and was great fun to chuck about. The Mk7 is in a different league though, better in every meaningful way.

The LSD for the Mk7 equally transforms it from those who I've spoken to with it fitted. Mountune have had the Quaife on sale for the last few Christmases for a decent discount. Worth saving up for.

dbmzk1 · 14 Apr 2017 at 18:27

I'm happy with this as it is to be honest. While I've not properly given it the beans in the properly wet yet, it gets (much) better grip and traction all round even without an LSD.

Besides it's leased so that's out the window anyway!

Love it dbmzk1! Picking mine up on Thursday. ST-3 Spirit Blue as well.

You'll love it, fantastic little thing! Next few days are going to drag sooooo bad tho hahaha

Ticked over 30,000 miles last night, just shy of 5,000 in my ownership

Nasher · 20 Apr 2017 at 13:46

Sold mine at 44k miles and it was still as good as new. All it ever needed was new front brakes and one brake light bulb. Brakes were around £250 I think, the bulb I got for free

Any of you had the clutch and Slave replaced in an ST150? Wondering what I should be looking at paying before it goes in the shop tomorrow.
