mine appeared at 20k (those are the intervals overseas IIRC)

- hit the power button but dont start the car (clutch out)
- press the brake and accelerator fully. you will see a reset notification appear on the HUD
- hold them down until you see confirmation that its reset

job done.

You reset it using the brake and accelerator pedals - do a google search the instructions will be there

Found a rather cool easter egg within the trip computer today, if you scroll down until you are on the average L/100 screen, hit the right button toggle and will give you an ecomode breakdown on how economical you are driving (speed, anticipation etc)

Also for those with an iphone, if you are on IOS 6 or above, you can now activate text to voice and sms replying via sync now

Just tested it and it works.

[chrisorm]

Yeah the reading and showing sms has worked for a while. Still haven't successfully managed to reply yet though. But the "hey Siri" thing in iOS 8 let's you get to Siri hands free atleast.

Don't think the sync showing SMS works in Australia?

Yes, it does.

[hugoti]

Yeah just tested it again last night and it works. Didn't realise this they fixed the issue when updated my sync in the last service

That's odd, it has always worked for me but can be phone dependant. Had one handset for a short time that wouldn't display SMS

[Nutbolt63]

Does anyone know how to clear the ...engine oil change due on the dash every time I start the car.
Thanks ford lovers

[pajoda]

ignition on, depress both brake and accelerator pedals, wait for screen to advise it has been reset

true, did say ignition on, not start engine

Just wanting everyone's opinions on what I could sell my ST for? details are in my sig, its done 46,000km and will have its major service, brake flush done and have 12 months reg, I'm looking at buying a FGX XR8. I've had a look on Carsales and redbook and around the 30-32grand mark seems the average.

[martinijosh]

A dealer demo goes for only 2k more than that, some dealer used for the same price. 30,000 or less would be realistic, I'd say.

[EVL BOS]

well the XR8 is ordered and the ST is now on the market, I pick up the Xr8 in Jan next year.

My leased ST is a buy out in 12/2016 for 12K, hope that helps as guidance.

[EVL BOS]

Well the st is sold, new owner picked it up tonight . But now the wait for the xr8!!
