We found out a month or so ago that my wife is pregnant again with our 3rd baby so we needed a bigger car (selling our Mondeo ST Estate), my wife has been on about a S-max for awhile now and after doing a bit of research I found out that they done them with the 2.5 Turbo Petrol engine that the Focus ST so the hunt was on and I found this one went to have a look at it and a deal was done!

Pictures after I had given it a quick clean! I will be fully detailing it soon










I cant believe how well these go standard, been looking at a remap and a few other mods planned so will update soon

Nice bus.

 

New intercooler first as they are very innefficient. Go for a remap as I bet they are toss on fuel aren't they?

 

Cheer's lads

Yeah we have a few plans re map lower it and intercooler

Depends how it being driven really have seen 37mpg and I have seen a lot less

Averaging anything from 300miles per tank to just over 400 miles on a run

Brian

 

i do like these

 

Liking that a lot

 

Proper cool bus these.I hope its ok on fuel.Get a bigger intercooler and a remap and tell us all how it goes when you have done it.


A friend of mine used to have one for a while.Hers was a diesel and she said it wasnt very good on juice.

 

Great looking bus, perfect family car mate

 

You buy that from Peterborough

 

Cheer's everyone I am really loving it at the minute

Not sure when I will get intercooler remap etc as I am trying to get my mk2 fiesta finished but we will see


Brian

 

Yes mate I did, how come


Brian

 

My mates old car, nice motor

 

Oh okay

Yes mate it is a nice car and was very well looked after


Brian

 

love the look of the s-max,very sporty mpv.had a customer I went out to who had mapped his with a new intercooler etc and said it was around 280bhp.wouldnt mind that for a bus

 

We have a diesel version and for there intended purpose they are brilliant. The only downside is the have a rubbish turning circle.

One thing to be aware of iss keeping the bonnet cable greased as they rust and break.

 

Tidy! Nice motors these.

 

They do look quite sporty for what they are

Yeah I was talking to a mate and he said 280bhp is do able fairly easy


Brian

 

Cant say I've noticed the turning circle to be honest but that I don't drive that often

I have heard about the bonnet cable being a problem will have to grease ours
