I haven't replaced or purchased any as yet, so can't help at the moment. But as you say, they look OK and from what I've seen of other Pedders gear, I've fitted the suspension kit, the quality is pretty good. I've looked at the discs and can't see anything wrong with them. I haven't looked at...

To be honest, I've not looked at it yet. But from reading the fail sheet and service bill it seems to be the ball joint that was worn on the rear lower control arm. Whole arm replaced. I do recall taking a couple of heavy pothole hits to that wheel, which wouldn't have helped.

Hi folks, Just had the car MOT'd a few days ago, failed on an 'excessively worn osf suspension arm'. Can't say I noticed. I did notice that the stealer relieved me of another £350 to sort it. Also had an advisory for front disks worn and grooved but tend to get that every year. Front or rear...

Thanks Greg. All good information.

Thanks Graham. I'll take a look at the cyanlabs link. I don't suppose it matters that much, it does what I want it to do. I can always plug the phone in if I need more up to date maps. Ta very much

Sync version as is, maps version F10 according to car. I vaguely recall reading somewhere, probably here, that earlier versions of sync can only be updated so far as it depends on the hardware. ie for me to update higher I would have install the unit from a later model. And possibly, you only...

Sync version is 3.0.20204 Not sure of map version, maybe F6, will get tomorrow, but both were showing as up to date and no updates available a month or so ago. It says there is no update for Sync but there is one available for maps. I'm downloading from Ford website to hard drive, unzipping...

Evening all, Just checked on Ford website and saw there is a map update available. (Sync3, 2017 GT). Reading the instructions, as you do, it suggests it's going to take 90 mins or longer to update. Again that would suggest a rather large file size. So, downloaded zip file and unzipped. Once...

Standard plugs as used by the dealer. Motorcraft SP 548 pre gapped at .053" or 1.3mm. Slightly disconcerting when you're used to normal gaps of +/- 25 thou. Edited coz I got 5 & 4 the wrong way round, oops.

Thanks Hinch. Problem has been sorted. See above. Good reminder to others to keep a good used set if possible.

Giving a shout out to Mustang Maniac. No association with them but they seem to have a fair selection of bits and pieces for old and new Mustangs. They sold me a single plug for a reasonable £12 plus the dreaded postage. But to be fair it would probably have cost me more in petrol than it cost...

Oh to live in USA where Mustang spark plugs are 2 a penny. I agree with what you've said, that's my plan. From what I've seen so far a single plug is £47+ and a set of 8 a more reasonable £75. That's if they have them in stock. Plenty on Ebay from the US at $12 or so but postage and import...

Hi Guys/Girls/Whatevers, I'm getting a misfire code for cylinder 7. Car is still driveable, code will clear but returns 4 or 5 starts later. Plugs only have a few hundred miles on them, so I don't want to buy a new set. Just 1 will do for diagnostic purposes just now. Anybody know where to...

I quite like those but I haven't found anywhere in the UK where they are available. Where did you get yours from? Thanks ETA: Just read a wheel thread from our American chums. There seem to be plenty off sizes and offsets available. What's your set up?

Thanks for your input chaps (sorry, whatever you identify as). It looks like, to keep it simple, Ford wheels are the way to go. Only trouble is, the ones I like the look of, are all in gloss black which I'm not too keen on. So, I'll look out for a second hand set and refurb those as well. Some...
