I wish we had something with the RS badge here. So far it looks like it will happen with the MK3.
I know the zetec 2.0 and Duratec ST (SVT in the US) share some common problem. Im sure the Duratec RS shares them to since all 3 are the same motor to start with.

Thanks man!! We have some pretty bad roads here to. I do a lot of highway driving though so that helps. The mountain roads probably put the most wear on it. Put in SVT (ST170) suspension about 100,000mi ago. Still rides good though. Did the front balljoints and put poly bushes in about 20,000mi ago. Still need to do the rear bushes. Its starting to get a little sloppy.
