Hey mate, it was fixed but I dont have good news. Hope you don’t have the same issue. They first blamed contaminated fuel, then contaminated spark plugs because of that. After a month and a change of plugs, no change. They took apart the engine and found a nut had come loose and fallen into the...

Very happy with the results of today's wash and wax. Been at least 2 months

I think they have done the compression test before the spark plugs tho. New engine can't be that bad can it? 6months less on the wear

They reckon they finally found the problem Spark plugs did nothing so they looked further into the engine and found a small piece of metal inside the engine bore. Asked me a few questions about mods (none), and they just set it off to ford australia

Got some further details today The misfires are completely random. Compression tests are normal. Coils were changed without any improvement The spark plugs that were taken out had a brownish coating over it Their basis for poor quality fuel was basically a sniff test. 98 should be pungent and...

I think your right. I think PUMA just bought the old BP stations. Problem is that there are no other suppliers of 98 here except for PUMA and one BP station really far away. Ill give that BP a go

They were not specific but I will be in tomorrow to talk face to face regarding the plugs. The car has only ever received 98 octane from PUMA (BP)

So after two weeks of not knowing what it was. First replacing parts as a process of elimination, then draining and replacing the fuel, now they finally say they found damaged spark plugs. On the phone they said they reckon it could be from poor fuel quality. I shouldn't buy that should I...

Car is booked in next week for Ford to take a look, but I am curious if anyone has an idea of what may be going on Jerky acceleration occurs around 1500RPM and up. It feels like car is jolting forward and back, sort of like stepping on gas and releasing at a very low gear. Happens probably...

None tuned and dont have any reader. Maybe I should get one to check

The engine light started blinking for roughly 30 secs today after a hard acceleration from stop. It then turned off and it seems to be okay. The car feels fine and sounds normal. Should I drop it off at the dealer?\ TIA!

Not my choice of music :shrug::shrug: On a side note, does anyone have front/rear f770 installed? Mine only lasts for maybe 1-1.5 hours in parking mode with cutoff voltage at around 11.8v. Nowhere near enough

Almost hit someone this morning. Good dashcam though

Some dickhead egged my car overnight, glad I got to it at 8am in the morning. Quick wash and polish and there does not appear to be any etch damage to the car. Guess Kamikaze ISM Coat works well

Has anyone attempted to upgrade their audio system? I know that a sub enclosure can go in the boot, but is there an easy way to drop in replacements for the others? Any particular brands/models?
