  1. EU: Considering trading M240i xDrive for Dark Horse

    The power difference is entirely above 6k rpm so nothing to worry about. Speedo can be changed as you like. EU spec differences - door mirrors are different and include BLIS, different seat headrests, bit of a hybrid spec compared to the multitude of US options. No chance of camera changes -...
  2. S650 UK orders

    Seems there are 25 2024.5 cars on the Ford website stock list still. Some of those 2024.5 cars must be a year old or more by now assuming they actually exist as such. The ÂŁ5k price savings mean nothing. These cars are priced exactly the same as my car was 12 months ago, just that the latest...
  3. UK/EU Oil Specs vs US

    For a top up precisely no impact at all. There is a lot of oil in that engine.
  4. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    OTA isn't used for everything, certainly not a vehicle that cannot be driven.
  5. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    It would go to the Ford dealer for them to do it - as has been the case for decades.
  6. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Indeed read and quote all of what what I wrote not just small out of context bits. Very clear. It is NOT location that is restricting them it is the hardware and firmware which is market specific. If you cannot understand this then it is your loss not mine
  7. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Of course it is about location - DIFFERENT car in a location it was not built for. If you cannot see this you are just being wilfully contrary.
  8. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    I guess you missed the bit about different hardware. It takes very little time to find stories of people trying and failing to change their Sync 4 systems to another country outside of the region the car was designed for. Getting a TCU that can be swapped in and activated (if you are lucky)...
  9. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    As I have said many times now - the European cars are NOT the same as the US market cars. They have a physically different TCU and APIM and different licensing mechanisms. It doesn't matter how many times you compare the car to a mobile phone they are NOT the same. It is NOT location that is...
  10. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    You don't know the reason - doesn't mean there isn't one. I already gave you an example of how mobile phones do not work universally.
  11. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    No that is not what I said Buy your Mustang locally and it will be supported. If you cannot do that or choose to import from elsewhere in the world you will not get OTA updates without a lot of trouble in module changes and configuration, if it is even possible. They are different cars made for...
  12. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Simple in your head doesn't mean simple in reality. You clearly don't understand how the system works or why - don't waste any more time trying to 'figure it out' or suggesting how simple it should be. It is the way it is for very good reasons even if you don't like or understand them.
  13. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    Not really. European Mustangs are really quite different to US Mustangs and very few people would bring a US car to Europe when you can buy it officially in Europe anyway. Our roads and markings are different, our road signs are different, we even have different headrests and door mirrors...
  14. OTA Update - HOW Does Ford Do This? - Over Cellular / Wifi ?

    The TCU is different on US market cars to other parts of the world such as Europe. It isn't just the frequency it is hard programmed to a carrier which will not be there if it isn't in the correct country. Some countries do not have any OTA update facilities at all. There are other significant...
  15. Dark Horse Handling Package Sway bars

    Why is it an 'upgrade'? DH has different spring and damper rates to the GT, how does the thicker ARB / Sway bar interact with that? Could make it 'worse'!
  16. Singular knock on warm start

    As I replied in the other thread too. It may be the exhaust popping. My S550 used to do it on a hot start as does my S650. From inside the car it feels like it is underneath you.
  17. Knock noise at startup

    Are you sure it isn't the exhaust. Both my S550 and S650 have a small exhaust 'pop' just like that on a hot start sometimes.
  18. 49% of Fatal Accidents Happen at Night

    Lack of light causes poor visibility shocker!
  19. Auto StartStop

    No problem. Clearly you do not understand sarcasm, or are you still waiting for the kettle to boil to see how exciting it can be? :giggle: I will read what I want and comment as I see fit. Don't waste your time responding, I know how much attention that kettle demands....:crackup:
