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

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.

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.

Took my ST to jarvis ford last night. This morning they rang me to say the exhaust smoke on start up is normal for the ST. They say it pumps a little extra fuel in on cold startup to help the cat converter warm up resulting in asmall amount of smoke before any steam is seen. They say its more prevelent in colder weather. They also said to do some harder driving trips and and longer drives than my short work drives to clean it out and get the cat converter hotter more often. Im glad that its not a concern and is a normal thing that is not a problem. Ford ran a software upgrade and said everything is A ok on the car at 31000km. Pick it up tonight, for a nice quick run home...
