No sign of a recall on my uk car (and was built during the time frame, although the numbers effected are pretty much the number built during the time frame) and plenty listed for sale on autotrader at present unless you're price locked find a new dealer, they're probably down on there EV quota...

When they said the dark horse was a sell out success and sold out in days, they really meant it was a scalpers dream. That or dealers buying up the allocation for stock. There are currently 32 brand new dark horses for sale on autotrader, majority of them in dealer stock. That's over half the...

I'd check with your dealer as to what they are going to use for service ... Shop.ford.co.uk cannot find any oil compatible for my car it states both the 0w-30 and 5-30w castrol, and 5w-30 motorcraft as incompatible. It could be that neither of these oils are API SP or GF-6A The USA manual...

Ford decided the spec of every UK MY 24 mustang and then let buyers think they were making factory orders when they were really just matching to pre-selections and then made them wait 7 months+ for delivery. Interesting tid bit, all of the initial batch of cars that were not matched to buyers...

Like the USA Ford Europe has ditched all of it's cars with the exception of the mustang (mondeo, focus, fiesta etc all going / gone) the other vehicles categories they have left are 'suv's & crossovers' and 'hybrid & electric' pretty much the same vehicles in each category. Ford used to be a...

Ford performance have started using Max Verstappen to advertise the dark horse, looks like they're using an early euro model with the lip spoiler. Seems a bit mad to me that they're entering F1 as an engine promotor (they have little to do with the engine with their name on it) and yet they...

Also forgot to post this from a few weeks back

Already have this in the eu set for 1mph over the limit. It’s enforced as a chime for the last few years. It does go away after a seconds or significantly over the limit when it gets it wrong. For now it’s only a warning but it will become a limiter one day and that’s only a software switch...

There was no on/off on older cars because there was no ON, they didn't have traction control or stability control period. The systems are on by default for Safety First, not everyone can handle that much power themselves in all conditions. The Mustang is infamous on youtube for being out of...

I have noticed on the cooler wetter days it's easier to break traction and get a bit loose. Especially after driving through 20mph zones and they cool off. They soon warm back up and bite again after the first slippery moment. I have mich SuperSports on the M5 and they were excellent (the 4S...

That’s for rear fog lights which are mandatory, fronts are optional so Ford doesn’t bother. The guy got it wrong. The pictogram indicates direction

Between Gen 7 Mustangs ? No ford intended to have stop/start on all cars but it wasn't ready in time for SOP. Between Gen 7's and earlier Mustangs that AS/S was not a consideration ? Most definitely, example is the move to an AGM battery which are proven when treated correctly to last many more...

A different build stream is still the same software... They just compile it / validate it less often. I don't know how long it takes ford to compile there software versions but it'll be in the hours if not days for the full version. I also don't know how modular their software is but only...

Then you'd have to take your keys out of your pocket to use the car at all. To pick up a signal from a key someone has to be within 5m of you outside of the car with a hidden antenna or a bit further away with a directional one in plain view. Where I park in parking lots no other car is...

You missed the point as I was on about tires... But to follow your line of thinking it would actually be the car with stop start but never uses it. As it has the more durable parts but has less wear rate on them. Maybe ford should of given you the option (they kinda did with early job 1 cars)...

Think of it as a semi truck tire vs. A normal tire, which one covers the most miles in it’s life. Things like agm batteries are rated to 100’s to thousands more cycles. Does auto stop start kick in 100x per journey… same with starters, it’s also why they cost 2-3xmore. 100x the wear life, used...

Not all engineers work that way, the design engineers would go after that tank. Production engineers would like to as well but accountants say otherwise. As an automotive r&d engineer we design and test the best part we can make. (Usually one engine part costs more than the production engine)...

Yes, although less often and it’s a different build stream due to the software being slightly different in terms of regulation compliance. someone did generate a table of sync 4 release versions. Out of interest mine came with 4.0.24058 from the factory which has all of the same dash’s as the...

Up until the snow happened (a couple of weeks ago) i hadn't really felt the diff do much. But now it seems any tight turn out of a junction with a little bit of power and it's scrabbling away doing something. It's more noticeable from cold start and gets better with a bit of heat in them. I...

Seems i forgot to post mine to this thread, oops. Shall fix that now.
