If I upgrade my car stereo to something else, will the steering column controls still adjust the volume etc? I changed the stereo in my old Espace and they stopped working.

Go to Halfords(even if you don't intend to buy from there) - they sell the harness adaptors you'll need, and they do adaptors with the interface to suit the Ford column remote. You then just buy a patch lead to connect the interface to your chosen brand of stereo.
Total cost for harness adaptor (Ford>ISO), inc. remote interface and patch lead is about £35. You'll then need to add the cost of the head unit itself, but check it will accept a wired remote as those at the lower end of the price spectrum often don't!

Okay, point taken. More a force of habit than deliberate but I'll try to be more careful...
