First of all im new to this just got my ST last wed so hi to everyone.

I have had a problem with the black splash guards under the front wheel arches where they join to the bumper at the bottom furthest corner. The shitty little bits of plastic which form the loop on the bumper for the plastic screw to hold splashguard on seems to have broken on both side thus the splashguards are rattling like hell when i drive. Has anyone else seen this. I have an 07 fiesta ST which i just bought a few days ago. Do you think that FORD would fix it for me?

Also the wee clip covering the hole for the front tow hook (the circle bit of plastic) dont seem to click in place and it wont be long till the damn thing falls out and i loose it. Any ideas on this.

There seems to be a lound revving sound from the engine when i put my foot down and accelerate sharply. Is this normal. The revs seem to go up slowly but is very noisy.

Can anyone give me some advice on things to watch out for when i own the car? Common wee things that go wrong.

Apart from that i love the car to bits. I think i got a real bargain on it. Full leather, parking sensors, heated seats, 6 disc multi, tinted windows, 2k miles on clock, all for £9500?!?!

Thanks
