That's what I call a Black friday sale.

Bloody good going. I doubt I'll ever get under 11 in the land of the long white cloud, and hills and twisty roads, and roads full of 60 tonne trucks, and Miss Daisy's.

I doubt I'll ever buy a used performance car from someone I didn't know. Dealer demos have had the arse flogged off them. Private buyers might have done the same and/or performed a "youtube" break in. Or simply neglected it knowing they'll flick in a couple of years.

I like the B&O system, way better than the Beats system in my Cupra. Maybe my hearing's stuffed? (It almost is)

Down a mine shaft with a tail wind?

There's some confusing differences. I always wondered at the reference to sportsmen slapping each other on the fanny. Fanny has a very different meaning here. As in, men don't have them.

Nice car. I know it's different tastes and all that, but I'm not fussed on the illuminated vents in the grill RTR seem to have made a trademark.

I'm staggered at the two week wait for the recall. There's no way I'll leave my vehicles anywhere waiting for them to get a round tuit.

My wifes car has Duroseal ceramic coating from new. After a visit to the dealership it came back waterspotted, they said to call Duroaseal as they hold the warranty. So the guy comes out, uses their waterspot remover and 10 minutes later - like new. But the interesting thing he said was that...

I've noticed a pretty dismal opinion of dealer Techs. What kind of training do they get? Apprenticeships, or?

Having removed more exhausts than I care to think about, I can only plead, don't weld them. A huge PIA.

It's reasonably exotic. DOHC, variable valve operation, dual injectors, high rev limit blah, blah, blah. It makes my bikes engines look stone age

Is that on a newly rebuilt engine, or all?

I was wondering what you meant by the funnel, then I clicked. My wife calls it the "She wee"

Makes sense, if an injector leaks.

OK, I'll be damned. It doesn't fire when the pedal is floored. Never heard of that before. Probably because I have never floored the pedal to start any car, except carbed, flooded engines. In any case, with modern oils there's always a film of oil remaining in bearings, rings etc. If it has been...

You don't actually have liquid fuel in the cylinder, it's vapourised fuel and air. The only way I know for fuel to accumulate as a liquid in an injected engine is a continual misfire for a period of time. This causes plug fouling, among other things. Carbed engines are another story.

Hold the accelerator to the floor on a cold start? Where did you see/hear that? It's a quick way to an engine rebuild, and has nothing to do with oil pressure

Unless they're huge, I don't care about panel gaps. I care about things working properly. And so far, the Mustang is one of the best I've owned. And, I still can't understand how Ford can get their infotainment systems to work well, and bloody VAG can't.

An oil leak like that is not a major worry, and it's fixed. If you're worried, just keep an eye on it.
