    Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    An update in case anyone is interested. I spoke to the service manager today who at least was upfront with me. I'll start with the good bit - absolutely no denial that the damage occurred on the lift. That's about where the good news ends. He said he'd heard about the car before it went in the...

    Whining noise from engine

    Just joining the party! I'm getting a really bad whine from the engine. Initially thought it was the trans pump. The dealer took a look and said he thinks it's something on the engine. I've had a new alternator fitted to try and solve it but it hasn't changed. It's getting progressively worse. I...

    Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    This! But it's like "we know best", and you're wasting their time when you make a request. I'm not asking much here, just stop ruining my car every time you get my keys 😣

    Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    They did not. It's auto. It's something belt driven. Rises and falls with revs. But it's not trans as it does it in neutral. Just need a competent dealership.

    Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    Not too worried about that tbh. I took a pic of it on the lift and you can see where the arms are, and this is exactly in that spot. What else could have damaged the underside of the sideskirt? I've wasted 4 days off work for this now and every time I take it in they damage it some more. And I...

    Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    Kinda losing the will to live here. I've used the same dealership (Matthews Currie Ford, Venice FL) for years in my F-150 with no issues. I had to buy my Dark Horse from a different dealership off the lot but it had a whining noise from the engine so I asked these guys to look at it. It's been a...

    Whipple supercharger install & test drive on S650 Dark Horse

    @LethalPerformance... Do you know if the Dark Horse is still going to get it's own kit? I saw a post by Ford Performance a while ago saying it was coming soon but nothing since. I assume with the stronger internals they may be able to squeeze a little more out of the DH? So if it's due...

    These are still available if anyone in Florida wants to stock up a spare track day set.

    The Dash cam thread

    I had nothing but issues with an early A129 a few years ago. Extreme temps in Florida summer just made it freeze up and drain the battery. After the 3rd time it got ripped out and tossed in the cupboard. That Blackvue 970X Box setup really appeals for this reason. Great idea. Can't wait for the...

    10R80 Whine

    The noise varies with revs, nothing else. It's as loud to me at 5mph as 50mph if the revs are similar. But if you drop a gear and the revs increase, so does the pitch and volume of the whine. Ford acknowledge a '10R80 whine' but say it's the straight cut gears in the fluid pump, so I guess the...

    10R80 Whine

    I wasn't engine braking or paddle shifting - that was just Sport mode doing it's thing. Guessing probably 3rd or 4th at that speed... wasn't watching. It's obviously much louder in real life than the camera picks up. It's not that it bothers me, I mean I'd rather it wasn't there... but I was...

    10R80 Whine

    This is my first Mustang, coming from a 2018 F-150 with the 10R80. I have the auto Dark Horse. I've read about the whining noise some people get and know it's the straight cut pump gears which Ford call a "characteristic", but I'm getting it pretty darn bad, on overrun especially. The F-150 was...

    PLATE NAMES FOR DARK HORSE EDITION

    Ours is titled to my wife and she had DARK HOR and DARK HO refused in an awkward but funny moment down at DMV in Florida. Had to go DARK HRS :crackup:

    Florida Set of Dark Horse Trofeo RS takeoffs (315/305)

    For Sale: Set of 4... 315/305 Trofeo RS. I took the decision to remove them as it's going to be a daily and won't see a track. These are located in North Port, SW Florida. 34286. Removed at 395 (very gentle) miles yesterday, and I've included pics of the invoice and mileage to prove...
