Hi - yes, am in London. Thanks - will look - but Amazon UK seem to have fluid Film for £15 a can, which seems reasonable. (US import, I assume)

My driver-side door hinge/strap (not sure which - the one in the middle) has been rusty since about Year 2! Also v creaky. Have used WD40, but will look into Fluid Film spray. thanks for the tip...

Thanks both very much. Dealing with Ford head office has been like banging my head against a wall. Basically, they won't help - only once it's been properly diagnosed, and even then no promises of what they might do. I keep telling them that all the Ford dealers I've asked can't diagnose! And...

Thank you all so much for your advice. I'll call Gates Ford St Albans tomorrow to check what kind of test they did on it last year - I went back a few weeks after they did it and they said they couldn't find any leaks, and that the A'/C should be fine after their re-gas. But something's...

Thank you, Chris. I do leave my A/C on year round (I keep it very low in winter). Thing is, when Ford re-gassed it last year (for the second time) they also did a leakage test and said they couldn't find anything wrong. Which makes me think it can only be the dreaded vaporator issue, because I...

Hello, can anyone recommend a good air con specialist please? Pretty certain I’ve got the dreaded vaporator leak issue. Long story short: *2016 - car bought from new (low mileage since I’ve owned it, currently 12,000 on the clock) *2018 - a/c completely fails (after my first significant drive...

Thank you all... am not far from A406 North Circular and even A40... so E4 is an option, and if feeling adventurous may well try Modurstang, have seen really good things about it mentioned here before - sounds like the extra mileage to get there is worth it...

Having said that , I probably shouldn't feel reassured with Ford dealers given experience! Any good recommendations for independents in London much appreciated....

Thank you all for your replies. Both TrustFord and Gates are Mustang dealers, but as I say, my experience with Trustford (Edgware Rd.) has been awful and I really don't want to go near them again. Wish I could take it to one of the Mustang specialists I've seen mentioned on these forums, but...

Hello - my first non-warranty service is due. Experience with TrustFord Edgware , where I bought the car, has been beyond terrible. So I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for service garages in London? (am in NW London). I know from reading this forum that Ford dealers are usually not...

The car finally arrived at the dealer this morning (it was on the Eurasian Highway). I went down to have a look and... still prefer the black seats that I ordered, but the dealer failed to order! (Croyde - honestly - I think you're better off with black seats with your orange Mustang - the...

The black roof is fantastic with that colour!

Good points re climate seats (mine are full climate, not sure what theirs are) and getting it in writing. Still haven't got the latter, despite their promise. Will chase tomorrow. On plus side, it's great to see some of those early cars arriving for people on the forum, and looking forward to...

Quick update. I spoke to the dealer yesterday. Yes, they've ordered the wrong car ('human error', 'very sorry', etc etc) and here's what they said the options are: 1. Order another car. 9 months wait. I said no, thanks very much. 2. Return the deposit. 3. Swap the seats. They are expecting...

I'll let you all know what happens, thank you. May wait to see it in person, at least.
