Do you leave a washing machine on at home too just in case a rhythm threatens to permeate the air?
Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

Hi Guys,
Just after a bit of advise really..
My mk6 ST is 7 years old now ive had it from new.
I took it for a service Friday they have advised i need new break pads all round and my lower engine mount has nearly had it.
The brakes i can deal with although i would like to know what you guys would recommend as ive usually gone with standard pads.
I have no idea about the lower engine mount, the garage quoted me nearly £250.00 to fix this which i don't know if this is a good price or not?
Would it be better to buy the part my self and then get quotes to fit it.
I don't know much about engine mounts would anyone be able to link me to what i need, a Google search returned powerflex bushes?
Cheers guys

For pads I really like my EBC Yellow Stuff pads, don't have great bite from cold but once there's a bit of temperature in them they are incredible.
As for lower engine mount, are they referring to the one on the gearbox? If so then that's a ludicrous price.

You'd get the brakes, gearbox mount etc done with plenty of change from £200 I would think.

Cheers for the reply's,
Im set on EBC pads then im not sure if its the gearbox mount I'll have to re-read the print out when i get home but im sure they just called it 'lower engine mount'.

It will be dude they're made of cheese, very soft. Stick an OEM one on if you're not a racecar kinda driver. Tightens things up and still keeps vibrations to a minimum as they should be on a road car 
I had a Fiesta ST sold last year and as a ballpark figure I paid £375 parts and labour with a motorsport company for:
Gearbox oil change (Castrol 75/90), PAS fluid change (Castrol Dex III), Motul 600RBF brake and clutch fluid change, Pagid rear discs and pads, Front ARB drop links, Lower engine/gearbox dogbone mount, strip and clean brakes and calipers, grease gear linkages, check clutch noise and advise, re-fit exhaust sort blows and hang it properly, full check of suspension, bushes, general car check over for advice.
Yes I am sad and kept a diary of money spent lol.

^ MK6 or MK7? never seen that before.
As for the lower torque link. http://www.sico-developments.co.uk/...raham-goode-fiesta-mk7-st-lower-gearbox-mount
If you have a jack and a bit of knowledge you can fit it your self.

So is the 'lower engine mount' the same as the 'lower torque link'?
The part you've linked is quite a but dearer than the ones i was looking at....
Thanks

It can be seen here next to the light switch, on what I'm fairly sure is an ST3 - http://i.imgur.com/A0DO2Lx.jpg
I can't see it listed on any specs so I'm not sure if it's just an ST3 thing or if they all have the option for it.
