Thanks Phil, im quite relieved they seem quite simple problems to fix and i was quite worried to start with. Quick bit of research on here though soon calms my nerves

Gunna get some drilled/grooved discs put on all round next weekend, and hopefully the local ford garage can sort out the accelerator for free, or cheap anyway; as they're very pally with my dad, ha!

Then i can get down to the serious business, getting some half-decent mods on. Think ill get a straight through to start off with
And yeah mate full leather, sub, 6 disk cd changer all inc. It's what made me choose the car tbh as you can pick up lower mileage/newer ST's for about the same price.

Thanks again
