  1. What's In ALM's Garage?

    Simply, Yum! Gotta love your mum! Part of the Christmas swag, fast disappearing. These butter shortbread biscuits in collector's tins apparently came from Coles, but unfortunately are a festive season only thing. :frown: The unmistakable XB hardtop. Both made in Victoria. ... and...
  2. Car carriers a new sight at Port of Newcastle

    Frustrating. Sympathies. That was like watching my vessel meander around Mexico for five days after exiting the Canal on the Pacific side. Why? Then waiting three days to get a berth in Brisbane. I wonder if there is a quarantine issue? Remember early 2023, where all Mustangs were diverted...
  3. What's In ALM's Garage?

    I was expecting an airbag in the A-Pillar, and treaded carefully accordingly. But perhaps that question should be directed to your Ford dealer? The "Ming Mole" was onto me pretty quick trying to up sell dash cams etc, but I suspect they would outsource that install to the cheapest local they...
  4. Car carriers a new sight at Port of Newcastle

    FYI, news regarding the Port of Newcastle (NSW), published only yesterday: @Stevefreestyle THE PORT of Newcastle has revealed it has further diversified its trade offering with passenger vehicle imports now a reality at the port. The news follows a number of car carriers seen discharging...

    "Earth Choice" for the screens is my contribution to help reach net zero! You're welcome. :wink:
  6. What's In ALM's Garage?

    @DFB5.0 has a theory about Trace-less. We should be able to prove this theory in 5-6 months time! It's not useless, just disappointing for the money.

    PoMS Day Today was PoMS day. Piece of Mind Service is a complimentary inspection performed at the 2 ~ 3 month mark, just to make sure there is nothing obviously wrong with your new car. The checklist: Whilst it was in, I got them to disable the wretched double-honk. (LOL - that should...

    Touchscreen Cleaning No excuses - long overdue! :blush:
  9. The Dash cam thread

    Dash Cam Install I've been putting this off for over three weeks now. Probably the thought of having to pull off trim pieces, but know this, it's an easy install. Especially if your Mustang isn't a daily driver (not needing parking recording all day long) and using the rear view mirror USB...
  10. What's In ALM's Garage?

    Dash Cam Install I've been putting this off for over three weeks now. Probably the thought of pulling off trim pieces, but know this, it's an easy install, especially if you utilise the rear view mirror USB port. I make no apologies for the length, 21 minutes, as the aim is to show everything...
  11. 2024 Mustang Front Camera System from Naviplus

    FYI... Got a reply back from Advanced ICE. I provided them with screenshots of various center screen configurations from my car, and asked if they had a chance to get their hands on a Mustang yet. If anyone is interested in a front parking camera solution, contact them. The more potential...
  12. What's In ALM's Garage?

    It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature Two days ago I was sitting in the car, on the passenger side, going over settings. Engine not running, but "ON". Primarily to check the "Key Detection" setting was actually still disabled. Because I was wondering why the F##K I still got a double honk when key...
  13. 2024 Mustang Front Camera System from Naviplus

    I made contact with Advanced Ice last year, but as we know our Mustangs had one delay after another. I did give them a heads up the S650 rear camera was now a digital camera, Sync 4, but they (rightly) wanted a donor Mustang to pull apart to assess its Sync 4 system and compatibility. I see...
  14. DFB's Detailing Garage

    I do have a set of metal trim removal tools, but I must admit, I always reach for the plastic tools instead. The metal tools remain unused. If you don't have a set of the plastic tools, worth having, not expensive, and easily obtainable with a visit to your local Autobarn store...
  15. 2024 Mustang Front Camera System from Naviplus

    I'm posting this in the Aussie section because it's a Aussie company (located in Melbourne) pitched to a RHD market, and not sure if it would be 100% compatible with LHD markets. One thing that tends to frustrate me is the low driver stance and the long hood, because it's difficult to gauge...

    Mystery solved. :whew: It's the temperature sensor. It looked like a retainer clip that was holding the connector in place. Better call Specsavers. :giggle:
  17. Mystery loom behind lower grille

    Ah yes. With that picture of the component, I can now see the upper part of it obscured by the grille, which wasn't obvious before. I thought it was a clip holding the connector there. Appreciate you taking the time. :like:
  18. Mystery loom behind lower grille

    I'm not sure which sub-forum is the best fit for this... What is this wiring loom behind the lower grille for? The connector seems to have a weather seal plugged into it. By the looks of it, there's a nipple which could be cut to facilitate a wire. As per forum signature, this is an...
  19. What's In ALM's Garage?

    OEM Battery Inspection Battery cover removal is easy, with only three retainer clips. Cover removed and behold, a Motorcraft BAGM-48H-760. If the image perspective looks weird, it was taken from front-on and flipped both V & H. I hate to think how much a dealer is going to want for a...

    Under the Hood Inspection After 1600km and 11 weeks of ownership, it was time to have a poke around under the hood. Strut Tower Brace Badge First, checking the install (a fancy way of saying "stuck on" :giggle: ) the strut tower brace badge. "Installed" on 27-10-2024, and the adhesive...
