It might drop a little but won't show empty. Fuel senders particularly when used on a digital dash are heavily damped to avoid the effects of cornering / hills on the fuel level reading. They are also act over a much larger area than the pick up. I'm also not familiar with the mustangs tank...

The glow is the secondary dash colour i think, it's usually just below the speed / rpm to give it more definition and like a blur that it's just been there. I've kinda got used to the speed limit warning thing, it only beeps when you're a little over for a little while. If you're more than 5...

Production is also down as well, but it's the grid infrastructure itself that is starting to struggle and home customers are being asked to pay for the upgrades in terms of tariffs on bills to massively increase the number of overhead lines. There is a reason why we have so many smart meter...

The Uk gov’ is significantly funding their transition to ev’s in terms of tax breaks and other cold hard cash. Also this side of the pond new car sales of ice vehicles are heavily taxed and are about to get much worse. They’re attempting to price ice off the market. the push for everything...

Antwerp is a bit of a black hole for cars. When it escapes and gets to flushing it’s then about 2 weeks away. When they said it was on a ship that would have been from when it got off the ship. Multiple tracking events tend to happen in quick succession and then all get uploaded at the same...

The sale was in 2008 and was the rebirth of the JLR group after 18 years of under investment and asset stripping by ford. Since tata the S type became the XF, a smaller XE was added and the F type coupe. Then they jumped on the SUV bandwagon despite having the landrover brand and release the E...

I had a similar experience but over 4 days with four different people when my car was about to arrive. First day was your car is in Southampton (incorrect) Next day car is in Dagenham (incorrect) Third day car has just arrived in Dagenham (correct, had last location of the ship in the dock at...

I clearly jinxed this one, two inches of snow on my cars this morning. The blizzak lm005's performed perfectly on the Merc, pulled away on my 5 degrees incline road covered in snow no issue, zero slip or slide for the rest of the drive whilst everyone else was struggling or stuck by the...

In the first month of my car I’ve covered 700 miles and averaged around 23-24 mpg, most trips are 20 miles long with about half the time (but not distance) in 20/30 zones in traffic which it hates fuel wise. It hasn’t really changed over time as I’m probably increasing the revs/load in harmony...

Sounds a like a fluid / pulling in air. Has the pedal feel changed ? I believe the brake and clutch share the same reservoir?

The blizzaks are a winter tyre. I put them on my merc during winter last year and they’ve recently gone back on for this winter. They are a really nice tyre although it hasn’t snowed in my parts for over a year so I haven’t tested the snow grip. They are highly rated. If you wanted to go chains...

It's when it leaves a location, that's probably when it left america, the atlantic sky left on that date and arrived in antwerp a week ago. Also don't believe the 'discounts' the one i mentioned earlier just run it through ford config, without the seating mistake and fully maxed out its £71,595...

It's a fake saving based upon a once glitched online config where it added the 2k price for the recaro's twice, a dh manual even in blue ember with all of the options is not 72,745 never has been. Maybe it'll get there under my25 pricing but that car was 69k when they ordered it

Wait for the dealer to do the drive away insurance with them (it’s 3 or 4 days) they will then apply a discount for you to stay with them. i had similar quotes locked in before purchase to start a few days after pickup. (I had a few staggered by days) dealer did the quote and it was 10% better...

If there is a stop order on uk cars then your dealer should know about it already. I’ll check in with mine this week to see what they know. But the whole thing seems a bit fishy to me, what did they change during that week off in May mid production job that’s caused this problem and then what...

Unlikely since it covers up the oil cooler on one side.

This is the notification from ford to it's US dealers. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2024/RCMN-24V802-7819.pdf looks like a stop order to me on vehicles from that date.

No recall notice on my dark horse either and it was built 22nd may (gate release 24th) although reading up on the recall notifications are not due to go out until monday. Upside for ford production between may and august was really low, in 3 months they did about 1 months worth of production...

The part about steering is in my manual, under precautions and limitations of the system. Above a certain speed it only looks directly in front of the vehicle, below that speed it will look out for an be able to react to things crossing your path (vehicles pulling out, people walking into the...

If that’s the latest update it’s probably sat in the port in America still. There is a big delay there and cars are taking a long time to leave USA. Mine was built in May and didn’t leave America until mid July. Other uk cars that were built a week or two behind mine only left Newark in late...
