Looks great.
What are the details?
Is a 1 ltr Petrol or 1.5ltr petrol or diesel model?
Cost?
Pete's website doesn't seems to have updated all this info at all?

exactly, we are being pushed for the 1l eco or the 1.5d there are saying petrol 1.5 booking is closed.
at the sane time they have no troubles delivering the 1.5 petrol fiesta both have the same engine.
come on ford why all this drama for ??

Ford does not make anything selling the 1.5P as they have to absorb thd higher excise duty.

Re: Ford EcoSport : Official Review

Today visited a friend's garage and was surprised to see an driving school's Ecosport D. He said it belongs to a well-off guy and it was the ambient version and they had successfully paralleled the Clutch+brake to the front passenger side!

The vehicle has done just 2k km! Couldn't find a logic as to why an ES !?

Brilliant! What Ecosport Tdci lacks is long legs to gallop on the highways and this remap should fix it if its for the Tdci.

Re: Ford EcoSport : Official Review

Nice to hear about re-map. Thanks to low sales of the Fiesta, this part remained untested pretty much. Would like the hear about the remap of 90 bhp TDCI. Please do get a dyno as well.

From what i came to know , remap of the Bosch ecu for 1.5tdci is not as easy as the 1.4 tdci ( Siemens) as it requires bench flashing and can get easily detected by service center which may void the warranty ?

Got DRLs with projectors fitted.Looks fantabulous.Lot of head turners.Excellent work by Mr.Srinivas.
It is awesome to be in the car now ,with such a superb music system(Hertz tweeters attached) and grabbing all the attention in the road with the lights.
My friend gave me a collection of all those Pinkfloyd ,Scorpions ,Defleppard ,Bryan Adams and other such collections which I saved in a pen drive and lo and behold Sync plays it when you ask for it.
Only hoped the suspension would have been a little more comfy.
FE shows 11.Just crossed 1000kms.

Heard the same Ranjit.warrenty is my major concern

I am confused too.
Tuning box/remap is the only major work left on my car
