Hi Guys,
Just a quickie, I have no time at the minute so i have taken my car to a Focus RS and ST Specialist who are very well known throughout the country for their work.
It my Third year service at just under 19500 miles too, i serviced it last November and since only covered 4500 miles. I have asked for Castrol oil and not the cheaper ford standard oil and was given a very Reasonable price of £199 all in, Ford wanted £295.
However, i have just taken a call from the mechanic himself, he told me that there were a few issues, first being my front wishbone bushes are goners, 1 is perished and one is leaking, apparently this is common on the ST's after 15k???
I was told that he can replace these with some Powerflex bushes for £205 all in.
However looking on the bay, you can pick the bushes up for £30 or so, am i being taken for a ride?
The reason i ask the question is the past two times i have been to them, not for any work but just a chat, they have told two other ST owners that their bushes had gone too.
Many thanks.
