If you find the power steering getting hot after a sprited drive then it could be worth looking into a relocation kit start at around 100 quid

I find well at least on mine the rear brakes go sticky, the slider bit get water in it a rusts but that is a general ford thing I've also seen it on focus's as well.

I wouldnt let these things put you off if you good with a spanner there good little cars to work on.
