As to the radio code, yes, I can personally retrieve it, but can not do so due to the rules, the reason this rule is in place is for security, as obviously a thief could signup and ask for the codes and we would be "aiding and abetting" them.
So yes, you will need to contact Ford, it will cost you around £15 I would have thought, they should be able to do it via your registration number, where as I do them by S/N of the radio, so it saves you removing the head unit to retrieve this information at least

Thanks for the reply. I have checked the steering over, and cant find anything amiss. bearings at the top of the turrets seem good, cant find any play anywhere. wheel alignment is spot on. ( I have the tools to check that at home). I have tried swapping all the wheels temporarilly with a friends car just to elliminate that, but no difference.
The vibration is definately from the front. I was giving the car a good hard "thinking about" last night, and now wondering if it could be that odd little support bearing half way along the drivers side drive shaft. I think my next move will be to replace that shaft, support bearing and wheel bearing and see what happens.
I have sorted the radio code, found a website that you put in the serial number and it spits out the code (for free). I wont put details on here though out of respect for rules.
