If anyone in the North East is after a good price on services, look up John-ST3 in the North East section of STOC. He's got a brilliant reputation with the club and seems to have serviced pretty much everybodies car in the area. Uses genuine ford parts and beats Ford on the 5 year service by over 50%

Full set of red samco hoses, (Turbo, Coolant, and Heater) 14 hoses in all, red braided lines on the back brakes as well, and a change to DOT 5.1 fluid. I left my full set of polybushes with him which will get done at the start of March.
And the brakes are excellent, when I had it on track it showed me how rubbish the standard brakes are if you ever want to do some interesting driving with the car, they're just rubbish, these should fair better if I'm ever back on track, but even just on the road, they're good.
Ford used to Recommend the 0W-30 Volvo oil for this engine.
They now recommend this for the RS. http://www.ford.co.uk/OwnerServices...rofessionalProducts/CastrolEDGELongtecA30W-40
ST could use either the 0W-30 or 0W-40.
Mine was up for £7.6, 27K miles. It's only an ST-1 though. If you keep your eyes open you'd be able to pick an pre-facelift ST-2 up for between £7K-£8K i'd reckon in good nick. Check FocusSTOC, there's a for sale section on there.
It's a hot hatch, it's unlikely any example has ever not been thrashed at least once. Just check out adverts and get a feel from what the owners talk like if you buy privately.

Your concerns would have been addressed just by buying some decent pads.

So I finally bit the bullet and got one
58 plate with 22k miles on the clock. It's in ASBO orange as to me whenever I think of a focus ST I always think of it in that colour.
Pick up in a few days
Congrats matey and I wish you your health to enjoy it
Right next thing to spend some money on is the magazine above or better still splash £8 and join stoc.com, ST owners club as it is a world of info on everything you will ever need plus the benefit of some club member discounts.
Oh and get some pics up once you get it
