Fitted new discs and pads to the front. Still got the backs to do. Also gave car a service.
Managed to get Fuel filter, air filter, cabin filter, oil filter, oil, and brembo discs and pads front and back for £172 from gsf with 47% off.

Did the discs come off okay for you? I tried doing mine a couple of weeks ago and couldn't shift the old discs for the life of me!
Screw out. Same problem with the fronts and rear. So annoying after taking everything apart. I hit them pretty hard and even hit them with heat and just couldn't budge them, so they must have rusted on real good.
Ended up just changing the rear pads as they were down to about 2mm!
Any tips?

Mine were really stuck on when I changed mine.
Took me a while but eventually they came off. I had to wedge a screwdriver in between the disc and hub which worked a treat.

I've finally fitted microphone to my "aftermarket" Android head unit.
It took me almost 2 hours to put the wire from the back mirror to the radio (through the A pillar of course).
Unfortunately I wasn't able to use the factory microphone as I did with GPS and radio antennas.

Sounds like a decent idea. I'll have another go before long and might be a bit more aggressive this time. I hit them pretty hard though all over the disk and got no movement at all- any harder and i would have probably damaged the discs, not shfted them, and then not be able to put the brakes back together!

Keep debating whether to put the FR back to standard and sell everything on. Have a desire for a new car....
I'd fed up of mine. Got it booked into the garage this Friday, next Friday and Saturday... think I'm wasting money I could be putting towards a Focus ST.
Mine isnt causing any issues (touch wood) just have a desire for a new motor as I've had this nearly 4 years now.
Cant decide on what to get next though.......either a big comfy estate/saloon or a sporty 5 door hatch (S3, Golf R etc)
Today spent ages trying to adjust my headlights as my new Osram nightbreaker laser bulbs are dazzling oncoming drivers. Should have only taken a couple of minutes but a previous owner had broken the adjusters.
Also got round to fitting Team Heko wind deflectors , not decided if I like them or not yet.
