So, had this a few weeks now...bored of it, gonna get something else! 
No, of course not.
Still liking it tbh, done about 700 miles since picking it up as well, done a few longer journeys (though still a bit of a battle with my guts so wont be at any distant meets for a while!).
Just need to sort the reverse switch tomorrow, so I can actually see to reverse lol, it's been sitting in the glovebox all week!
Have painted the drums black today, and fitted two new centre caps. Thinking about dark blue for the calipers to match the caps and Ford badges? Was tempted by ST green calipers and green on black gel badge overlays but I'll probably regret that in a few months so want to keep it subtle!
Also sorted the puncture...which turned out to be just a loose valve core, oops. Anyway, now all 4 tyres are staying fully inflated for the first time since collecting the car!
I couldn't help but check the turbo for play...fortunately it has a normal amount! Phew...
Next up, the odd DPF fault. Keep getting a silent regen duration fault when scanning for codes, with something (presumably a sensor) going past its max threshold. It's also trying to regen too often, and at the worst times (like a 5 mile 40mph drive to Nans), you can tell as the fans stay running after the engines shut off due to the amount of heat the DPF creates. Can't find any issues with the sensor pipes/wiring and no idea how to test the pressure sensor itself. On live diag's the differential pressure 'spike' is 9kPa...not sure if that's good or bad though lol, and don't seem to be getting any better answers on the Ford forums. So decided to force a static regen, this should make sure a regen is completed, and check that it is regenerating properly. And man is it scary to watch your engine revving itself to 4k rpm!
If anyones interested, I took a vid for the guys on the Ford forum, but some over here might to watch it as well, it's about 10 mins though, so not recommended for a slow internet lol. Also I apologise for the breathing in the vid...kinda forgot I was meant to breathe while fully expecting something to explode.
