  1. Lane keeping assist - A cautionary tale

    A few points / comments from the OP. This thread is posted in the UK section, whilst everyone is of course welcome the primary audience for the information is UK owners as it's most relevant to them. - The observation started with an automatic focus (so it has lane centring assist, which my...
  2. Lane keeping assist - A cautionary tale

    I'm not sure if the following is a result of a recent software update, a change in the road / conditions or the fact I usually turn lka off as part of the start up routine. However everyone should be aware of the following and turn lka off when not driving on motorways or dual carriageway...

    I think they measured the wrong calliper, printed report is quite different to digital report. Recall went ok seems it's more preventative these days than just a straight up inspection. Ford estimated it would take them 1 hour (the inspection part) the full job took them just over 3 hours...

    Yup it was in for service as well. I've had a notification to say it's ready to pick up. Will report back later if they had to do anything.
  5. Ford secure ending

    My car is in for the recall at present, didn't inspire me with confidence when I asked how many they had done so far. Answer was 1 (same one from when I booked a month ago) and that it was still there but for another issue. They have picked up that my rear pads are down to 6mm. Not sure what...
  6. Pirelli tyres

    From my experience last winter in the UK (something has gone really wrong if it gets down to -7c here) the pirreli's need a bit of heat in them to grip properly. Stop/start traffic and 20mph zones are enough to lose temperature that if you give it the beans again too quickly the rear will snap /...

    Sounds like your dealer hasn't done one yet ... I do need to check in with mine to see how they got on with the first one they started last Friday. Mine is booked in for an 8:30 in the morning start, it's only listed as checking to see if it needs the fix rather than applying it.

    There was hope that RHD cars weren't effected by the recall but nope we've got it. It seems that Ford UK only send out recalls when they have the fix ready to apply. It's been known on this forum for months but only in the last few weeks has the reworks been started. Bit odd that we have to pay...

    It was a paid for vehicle tracking thing. If you reported the car stolen, ford would tell the police where the car was last seen. Might of been able to remotely disable the car as well. You could geofence the car so if it went out of area they'd call you.

    Recall is for builds up to July 14th 2025. My dealer started their first recall work on Friday shall see how it went, I'm booked in but it's a month's wait due to shortage of loaner cars. You say ford are bad ... Mercedes are worse. Took an 8 year old car in for it's service and was told only...

    My free trial came to an end and I didn't extend it. Good thing I didn't if they're shutting it down 3 months later?? Just checked the app tho and seems that I have the BCM recall. Nice to have been notified about it and not hidden deep within an app. Oh wait
  12. S650 UK orders

    Most likely as they stopped making the 2024.5 in a month or so's time. The first cars only arrived a year ago this month. How many left now goes up to Q1'25 (before the big tax increase) shows sales have increased a fair bit with triple the amount of dark horses on the road (so approx twice as...
  13. Next Gen Ford Infotainment Revealed: Ford Digital Experience

    OEM's are rapidly ditching car play ultra development before it's even launched. I believe Aston Martin are the only manufacturer left and will be the sole launch partner. It's apparently because apple want to much control over the ecosystem and OEMs are saying no thanks.
  14. Spare wheel

    I have one of those in my boot. Have been meaning to do a trial fit at some point to make sure it works but in 9 months I haven't gotten around to it yet. I got it from America shipping/ tax was reasonable even if the carrier charged the vat in £ on a price in $

    I think the red calipers were all the ones that weren't initially sold but built anyway. It was an option they over estimated the demand for. Similar with auto dark horses, nearly all of the ones available are autos
  16. Spotted thread

    Finally saw a Gen7 on the road today coming the other way on a private plate. Was a vapour blue GT with K3 something or other plate. I was in the merc so didn't have it recorded on dash cam. Also £48k for a 2019 ? are the options like for like ? as from what i looked up a 2019GT was £42.8k OTR...
  17. UK/EU Oil Specs vs US

    Was it the diesel variant ? castrol's online finder seems to list the 0W30 D as the right oil, if you goto product data sheets there are 3 different spec sheets for oil with the same name released at the same time.
  18. Brake Fade

    Has the car been doing any of the braking for you before it happened ? Like adaptive cruise control or any of the emergency brake assist things? Or even the hold assist (less likely) Reason I ask is Merc had a fault in there system where after the car had baked for itself it would leave the...

    How many left has now been updated to the end of Q4'24 The dark horse is the easiest to pick out 33 manuals registered (4 of which were in Q3, my car is 1 of those 4!) 2 of which are currently sorn (so registered but probably not sold) 46 registrations auto's (6 in Q3) of which 1 is sorn and 43...
  20. 2025 GT engine oil temp runs hot

    The base GT is not a track or drag car never has been. Some influencers recommended it over the dark horse or performance pack because it's lighter so must be better right. However nearly all of the extra weight is additional cooling required, the rest is aero parts.
