Just received the results from the compression test from dealer.

Just holds a bit more oil, so that will cost a bit more; ruthenium spark plugs are more expensive than the iridium that come with the engine, but will last 2 or 3 times as long if you switch them.

Yeah I'm running the one step colder Ruthenium plugs. They're expensive. But last time I checked them they had been in for almost 40,000 miles they still had their Gap and only opened up about .001". I also use a fram XG 3600 oil filter. Makes it an even 6 quart oil change.

Aaand he is here. Best Christmas gift ever. Loveliest 150km drive (home) ever. Drives like a charm!

Good news.

Went to look at the Focus ST Wagon today. 2013, 136,000 km, Dutch car, had two owners and full service history. Both inside and out in new condition. Really nice car. Everything was right: technical tests, test drive and the financial picture. Could make a really interesting deal. Service at delivery, 6 months warranty and I asked for a compression test. I find that a reassuring idea after some tips here.

I'll go back on Tuesday to show him my girlfriend and then your club might be an ST rider richer soon!

I have to say it again: what a car. Pooh!
