There is one ST220 near me for 1200, and another one I missed on eBay that sold for 925, there was another one recently i saw at around 1200 too, so there are ones at that price.

.

They will be absolute sheds though. I just think that if you're gonna spend as little as possible you might as well just buy a regular Mondeo - it's likely to be less of a ballache.

Did you find out what was causing all the steam out of your exhausts? That didn't look right to me.

It's completely normal.

I loved the Conti SportContact 5s on mine.

Yeah and look at the state of it

I fitted an Alpine single-DIN unit to mine and it was excellent. Easy enough installation and much better sound quality than the factory "Sony" unit.

Won't they be EC marked anyway if they're second hand OEM units?

Just get a pair of used Xenon headlights on e-bay and a pair of decent bulbs, I have them retrofitted in mine and have never failed an MOT or been flashed.

Does require the headlights to be rewired but it can be done in an afternoon and is worth it.

This. I retrofitted mine and it was totally worth it. Brilliant upgrade.

It won't fail an MOT though. And the ST220 has washers anyway.

What did you think those little plastic covers under the headlights were for?

Try a full power-cycle by unplugging it or disconnecting the fuse for a while. As 'zod said, unless it's a nav unit just get another off eBay if that doesn't work, they don't cost much.

Have you whipped it out and had a fiddle with it round the back?

The head unit, I mean. Obviously.

If you ditch the sony you'll need to replace the entire centre console as the sony is an odd fitment, it goes in at an angle, any aftermarket stereos won't sit flush as they will stick out half an inch at the bottom.

Aftermarket single-DIN units fit fine.
