The first service was basically an oil change with filter, cabin filter and vehicle health check. That was 199. Second service will be closer to 300 I'd imagine. You did well to get 19kms out of the front tyres, mine were down to the wear indicators at 12.5kms. I've nearly gone through two sets of front tyres now, just swapped the rear bridgestones to the front last week. Once they wear I'm going replacing all 4 with Michelin PS3s
Ya, must of mileage is to and from work, about 10/12kms at nothing over 50kmh so I'm lucky ehough.
I was thinking of doing something similar, going up to the Michelin once I was changing out all 4, I'm not a fan of 2 different sets of tyres on the car TBH.
I'm also hoping that Mountune send out the MP215 kit and get that done as part of the service in 2 or 3 weeks, I've seen it done online and its about a 30-45min job but having no garage and the weather being indifferent, I dont really fancy myself.0 -

Nice, did the mountune kit set you back much? I'd like to get it done myself
Mountune had a sell for the first 12days of December, its a yearly thing so I was hoping to pick up at least the kit, wanted the exhasut too but was broke after the kit, I think there was 20% off the RRP of about £795, its a bit cheaper if you get it fitted up North or in England but then you've the hassle of travelling.
Only issue is, because they had a shed load of orders, mine still hasnt been shipped as it stands, over a month later, theyre getting in units from the US to fulfill the orders so should have it soon.
Theres cheaper kits available from a few places like Collins Performance, Revo, Peron but if I was doing any work I'd prefer to keep the warranty.Donnelly117 wrote: »How does the mapping work with the kit if you diy it?
Straight swap of the airbox, position the new cold air feed by the passenger fog and plug in the Mtune reader in to the OBD port in the car and away ya go.
The trickiest part is removing the headlight which isnt necessary, apparently, but makes access and clearance a lot easier by all accounts.
Its a simple enough DIY job but I'd imagine iof anything goes wrong Ford could possibily void your warranty for doing the work yourself.
As I said earlier, if it comes before the service in a few weeks I'll get it done all in one go and save myself an hour or two on a wet and cold Saturday. 0 -
Ah right, sounds good! I would stick with the mountune kit as I have seen the MP215 listed by a few insurance companies, including aviva so can save the hassle of trying to insurer a modified car as its listed and they know what it is!GavRedKing wrote: »Mountune had a sell for the first 12days of December, its a yearly thing so I was hoping to pick up at least the kit, wanted the exhasut too but was broke after the kit, I think there was 20% off the RRP of about £795, its a bit cheaper if you get it fitted up North or in England but then you've the hassle of travelling.

Looking forward to your review, I've been thinking about it myself as it would be a little rocket with 215 bhp! Is it a constant 215 or a 200/215 overboost like stock?
I wonder if fuel efficiency will be much worse, Ive been doing some frugal driving of late out if curiosity and am pretty impressed with how easily it'll do low 40s mpg. Especially as my efficient driving skills are dreadful! I'm a big time coaster!0 -

Ya, the insurance factor was a thing too, I've seen it listed on a few sites online too, so for peace of mind, its better to declare it and because theyre aware of the mod being a Ford approved one too, I'd say there'll be no issue with declaring it.
Its 200, 215 with the overboost, I've the induction hose fitted too from Mountune and people who have dyno'd it, depending on fuel, temperature etc have seen anything from 215-220 on overboost so its a good little mod.
In the same report, people have reported slightly improved MPG, because theres a bit more power across the band, theres less labouring but I'd be skeptical enough of it.
My average consumption is pretty dire too due to my small journey, in the year I've averaged about 32-35mpg consistently enough, not wallet breaking by any means but could be better. Taking it to Dublin I averaged close to 40mpg though at steady 115/120kmh.
When I've it done anyone is welcome to have a blast in it, if youre in Cork. 0 -
