The mind boggles how cars coming fresh off the line don't have the problem and yet there is no fix for existing cars. They've probably changed the supplier of motor which caused the issue but surely the part can be changed on a built car. Mine went back to the factory after arriving at the...

Not true, Ford saw this one coming. Cars are in transport mode as they're built and should only be taken out of this mode by the dealer once the vehicle has been sold. Mine was still in transport mode when i first viewed it and i was the one to disable it. The mode severely limits throttle...

Fairly clear that they want you to go somewhere else. I seem to recall when talking to my dealer last year when I had mine done (it's in the UK it rains a lot) that the dealer loses money on every water intrusion / BCM recall they do as it takes far longer to do than Ford pay them for the work...

Only 9 months away, but at least 1 PM probably a chancellor and 1 budget away. Seems i was wrong, it's now starting April '28 not 27. Plenty of time to be cancelled. We pay duty & tax on fuel (guess US pays some tax at least on fuel, heck you pay for fuel post vehicle purchase) and an...

It's more than just mooted, it's starting next year for EV's and hybrids. Although i'm sure there will be plenty of loopholes and opportunities for when you declare your mileage etc (when they ended the free EV tax you could renew your vehicle in the month prior to it ending and get another free...

In track mode mine is plenty loud enough for me and enough to be turned away from some track days. Don't need to announce my arrival from 2 miles away. 1 is plenty sufficient

The particulate filters are most of the difference along with how they're tested. and yes we test with the lowest grade fuel available (equiv to US mid grade) rather than the highest grade. Which is why when dyno'd euro spec cars perform better than expected whilst US do worse. As for tuning...

Not all of the subscription costs goto the car manufacturer as profit. All of the 'app' and remote features go via the cellular network to the vehicle. That 4G access in the vehicle isn't free, network access costs in america are way higher and the costs are being passed on. The manufacturers...

1D thread engagement is the absolute bare minimum for anything. 1.5D is more normal on a loaded application where the bolt will fail before the thread. Full safety is 2D when threading in aluminium etc

Interesting i had a look around that dealer this morning and it wasn't there (other car was in for service next door) maybe it was in the workshop or something. They had a 74 plate DH and a new GT both auto's

Mustangs / Dark horses must be like busses, barely seen another 7th gen in 18 months and have seen two different dark horses in my town in 3 days. First was another blue ember (on a private X plate), today was the vapour blue on a regular 25 plate. In looking up the other colour on the ford...

Very unlikely considering they've stopped taking orders on DH's at present you can only buy what's already been made. I've just checked all 62 Mustangs that ford UK have in stock. Most are MY25, some are 24.5 still. There are no MY26's yet despite being nearly half way through the production run.

There is a mustang event on at brooklands this weekend, there might be a few there.

Someone with a black gen 6 saw me twice yesterday, wonder if such a thread exists on Gen6 forums have you seen a 7 yet ..

When the price of an oil barrel is heavily influenced by social media posts of certain people and the volume of trades surges just before the post happens something smells fishy ...

It was mapped by Motorsport and performance on the Dyno as Whipple don't support export spec. If they did remove the particle filters it's no longer road legal in Europe which kinda defeats it being a daily driver but explains why the video is on the old top gear track. It will be back tracked...

He's not running 91 tho. His first review he was running synth fuel. I suspect it would of been mapped to our 99 (93-94 us equivalent) deffo modded exhaust as the particulate filters limit power a lot. He says stage 1 but it's far from a 1 and is bespoke to him

Interesting that you say US prices went up during covid, in the UK they went way down due to excess supply and no demand. At times fuel was being sold at a loss because tankers were arriving at ports and the fuel had to be moved on. I remember when it dropped under £1/l for the first time since...

There is a level of profiteering involved, the UK gov has 'promised' to look into it but are way to late about that. Diesel here has been hit far worse but petrol is still bad. 95 was £1.239/l with 99 £1.319($6.6) it's now £1.349 and £1.469 ($7.35) With diesel was £1.279 now £1.519 On day 1 an...

No matter how you tune it the sound comes from combustion down the exhaust. Usually unburnt fuel hitting the cat. With heavily retarded timings this will still be the case. It's not cat safe. Most export specs have OPF's as well.
