Do these suffer cooling issues like the Mondeo/S Max ? there is a plastic pipe that splits and it dumps its coolant in a matter of seconds.

What a bargain. I think I’m the only person ever who prefers the pre-facelift.

Nice ST op, probably my favourite MK.

Have you seen the Sweeny remake with Ray Winstone? Your car is the star smile

That looks pretty good now it’s had a good clean / polish. It makes the five pot one look really dated now.

Friend of mine had an estate one a while back. He quite liked it (moaned about torque steer / Ford Sync).

No, you're not! I think it looks better and has a greater distinction over the normal Focus than the facelift.

I've had my estate for 4.5 years now. The only problem I've had is a recently discovered coolant leak. It seems to be coming from somewhere at the bottom of the radiator, so I'll get it looked at when it's in for a service in a couple of weeks.

Mine did the same and it needed a new radiator as it had corroded at the bottom as it sits on a foam pad.

Looks good. The black paint with smoked alloys is the best combo for these in my eyes.

If you were retailing the car (seem to remember you're a trader) would you have given it the same remedial work prior to sale? Not the resonator delete obviously!

Any adjustment left on the rubber stops to lower how the bonnet sits any more?!

That model of Focus always looks like the bonnet isnt closed properly, I don't think there's enough adjustment to get it looking totally right.
Yours looks like a bit of a bargain OP,
I had the facelifted version and it was a great car.

Any more news on this one? And also, any plans to sell it sooner than originally planned?! They're surprisingly not that common to find.
