Do you know about many recalls that were made by ford?


Welcome As mentioned, the clutch washer was the only recall they actually made official.
Earlier ST models needed an ECU update for engine startup, mainly due to the incorrect figures being given to the ECU about how much air/fuel to mix. This affected the car when short journeys were done from cold. I think this was a 55 plate to 56 plate issue.
Also the GEM needed an update for the alarm going off on its own sometimes, again I think it was around the 55 - 56 plate mark.
Apart from that, nowt I can think of really. If looking second hand then normal inspection rules apply.

You will have no problem selling an ST with stripes. Next time you walk past a group of 18 year old yobs in your nearest town centre think to yourself each of those is a potential future owner

I had to have a GEM update to stop my alarm going off in the middle of the night, every night.

When it comes to selling just remove the stripes if want to...

Driving like a granny I got 41mpg
Generally got 34mpg

Check both seats pull forward properly, as the catches seem to be a weak point

Welcome to the forum



lol - I wish i'd read that when I went out to buy mine a few months back. My drivers side seat didnt release as the handle had snapped. I didnt realise until I got the car home (it wasnt something I would of thought to check during the test drive grrr) but it was only £15 for a new handle iirc.

other than that they can be thirsty as others have said
