2012 Ford Focus Titanium
Discussion
A quick update on this; the top mount was replaced and had fixed the issue, and the brake problem has never returned with all discs and pads now wearing evenly. The car has been going on strong.
My wife and I are selling our daily cars to buy a shared car; it makes no sense owning three cars at the moment. My Dad's going to be buying this off me, and my wife's friend is buying hers. It's worked out quite well.
All that needs to be done before he purchases this is an alignment, to fix a slow tyre leak (just needs the rims cleaned), a service and an MOT. After that, I'm sure it'll go on to do another 178,000 miles.

And just like that, it's sold.
As mentioned before, we were looking to sell this and my wife's Mazda 2 and to buy a shared car. Luckily, her good friend has agreed to buy her car, and my father has bought mine.
Before handing it over, I agreed to service it and get the leaky rear tyre replaced. It was a faulty tyre valve apprently, which the garage fixed for free.
That's it. Off to it's new very happy owner.
That car has been outstanding. A very rare spec, it's got me to everywhere I needed to go in comfort, from Le Mans to Scotland, journeys always felt a breeze, and always felt safe. White was certainly the best colour for this car; there's something about the contours that suite the colour perfectly with the black trim. My wife wasn't fussed on the way the engine felt, partially due to the clutch and partially due to the fact that her only car so far has been a 1.3 petrol Mazda2, so the comparison is quite big for her. Our next car will be a petrol, but the same size as the Focus. A Honda Civic is perfect, so the search begins.
Thanks for the follow, see you all in the next thread.
