Hats off to you for putting the effort into keeping you 170 nice and healthy Meneer. It makes ex owners like me happy to know there are still a few of these on our roads

Re: List what you've replaced/repaired on your car.
So, after roughly 7 years of owning my ST170 she left me by the side of the road for the first time ever, and it was the Powersteeting Pump, had to
replace it and damn, with the labour all in all, was about R8000 to get her going again, but she is fixed and I am happy as chappie again!
Also replaced another 2 x tyres as the previous rear ones worn off on the inside, have to get the rear shimmed and lined up again.

Re: List what you've replaced/repaired on your car.
So my drivers side window stopped working and had to pull that out, and found a place that fixes these as Ford was just crazy with their prices.
Had to replace the whole unit, can't buy the plastic guide and the cable apart, so got that fixed and she is sorted.
Wanted to change the fuel pump for years now, as she struggles when driving in the heat and jerks under half indicator on the gauge.
Changed the pump and she is all good to go again, and pulls like a train now.
Very happy!

Re: List what you've replaced/repaired on your car.
So this morning while checking the bay, I noticed the serpentine belt was in its tjops!
Picked up a Gates belt for R270 as the agents want nearly R500 for one LoL!
Shot to my bud Jawwaad @ PRP who fitted it for me in short notice today!
Got another 2 x tyres and sorting out allignment as it is a nightmare in the 170 to get someone who knows what they are doing...

Re: List what you've replaced/repaired on your car.
So I have been adding more goodies to the 170 recently.
Had her serviced with some proper platiunum plugs, Liqui Moly Oil, filters, etc. I am sitting on 265 000km and she drives like a dream! Cannot believe it.
My left inner CV gave in, so had to get a new inner cv, and had the outer refurbed, and right after I fixed it, the same day the TPS Sensor went. So had to replace it as Ford wants R2600 for a sensor???
Eventually found a brand new one for R274, yes you read that right, R274!
Added some nice stopping power, as the discs have never been changed in the 8years and 131 000km since I owned the cabbie, (Potentially more as the guy before me did not change them either)
Added the last set of Powerbrakes GT Series for the front, with Mintex Pads
And changed out the rear discs, for Imported Mtec Slotted discs with Bendix pads. Stops like a train now!
Also as far as I know, the clutch has not been changed as yet, or might has, but got a good deal on an OEM Clutch Kit, and Pressure Plate bought from Ford a few months back for only R2K!
Just don't inquire for the price of the ST170 Flywheel, you WILL DIE! It is R24 000! For a Flywheel, no they crazy haha!
So this is the list now:
Rear Brake Pads x 3
Front Brake Pads x 4
Clutch/Brake Master Cylinder
