I don't see why you wouldn't be able to? Surely it's just a case of transferring the DD and off you go?
It's an interesting thought that's for sure...

As above track insurance would have no benefit at all for that.
As for why/how that happened... Anyone know?

s**t the bed! Did that happen at Blyton mate?
Yeah, today! Mis judgment on an overtake and collided with a rover.

Oh my god. You can imagine that guys thoughts straight afterwards. 'Please don't be a rover' 'Jesus, worst nightmare. A bloody rover!'.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, it was a proper shitter.
He was explaining it but I didn't really understand how it happened. s**t happens.
Iv'e decided the brakes are rubbish on the fiesta.
They are either on or off. I'm finding myself nearly going into the back of cars or slamming on 20 feet before I want to stop.
Just can't get to grips with them atall.

Agreed. Far too over assisted. New pads for me soon so I may stray from standard and go for something with a little less cold bite.
They seem to have gotten more like that (currently on 5,000 miles) in the last month or so.
Must be propper bedded in now. They are great at stopping you - almost too good! Nothing in between on or off...

That's the problem. They're really good, zero fade around Goodwood, barely any dust, and I'm just about to hit 27k miles on the set it left the factory with.
That's what makes me want to stay standard.

Yeah, couldn't imagine needing to upgrade the pads at all! Christ.

They are very good, but like you say, either on or off. My mate thinks that's great, but I couldn't get use to that really

Anyone link me to an interior led upgrade bulb kit or give me some links to decent ones? Bought some 501 9 LED bulbs which have worked in the reg plate and footwells but the rest don't really work. Also what is the main bulb in the front? (Not the two map lights which seem to be 501)
Thanks in advance for any info

Those are the ones I ordered.

Going to have to block all these ST threads! Mine goes back tomorrow after a year of ownership and a bucket load of depreciation to be replaced by a 1.0t focus [emoji21]
Was tempted to buy it for the 13.5k owed but unfortunately head has to rule heart. Bloody great car and very sad to see it go.

@benhwolves How come you didn't go down the lease route like most people, given you were only keeping it a year?
RB182cup&golf gti
I was fully intent on keeping it long term and was going to buy it outright but the garage persuaded me to go down the PCP route as I didn't have to shell out plus APR was 4%.
I then found out that we were expecting a baby and we've recently been struggling getting his seat in and out of our three door cars. Wife has a 1.2 09 reg dynamique whereas as I have a mint 182 and the ST.
I looked at swapping her car but didn't really want two lots of finance so decided to essentially give mine back and get a focus.
Lease would have definitely been the better option, but had I known we were having a baby I wouldn't have even bought the fiesta but hindsight is great.
Still don't want to hand it back tomorrow. Keep thinking trade the 1.2 against it and pay the difference but I don't "need" the fiesta.
Golf 7.5R & Clio 200
Which ST do you have? Surely a 1 year old ST would be worth more than 13.5k? Even if just a little?
Would it not have made sense to buy and then sell privately for more?
RB182cup&golf gti
St2 mountune and nav. It's a 63 plate on 4k in SB and there are 14 plates going up on forecourts near me for under 15k so it's only going to worth what is owed.
Why buy the focus? There are some crazy lease deals on the ST focus at the minute!
RB182cup&golf gti
Focus not for me, need a sensible family car and got a good deal on the one we are getting. I'm seriously tempted to offer them the Clio plus the difference in cash and buying the ST outright? What do you reckon? Or keep the cash, move on and run the 1.2 into the ground given that I only really drive to the station and back. b****cks this is driving me mad haha
Ah fair enough then mate. I was gutted, as the Focus deal is only a few quid a month more than my Fiesta.
Missed it by a month or two!

In fact I actually hit a deer earlier in the week, didn't see it till late, luckily I managed to only brush it, and the only damage is a streak of s**t on my headlight lol.
I drove with the standard yellow bulbs and the upgraded ones.
They are definatley better than standard, but then again the standards were poor.
I think any non-xenon lights are crap these days.
