Interesting shout... but many Americans are getting it done personally (if you look at the US forums), and it is required for North America and Canada. I'd rather be safe than signs of corrosion in a few years.

I've made my expectations clear to Ford... if it's not as expected I will be back in touch with Mr Andy Barratt (UK Ford MD).

Great... I'm going down the Ford free repair route before paying for a 3rd party to do it.

Yesterday I showed Peoples Ford in Bootle the photos of the poor/ incomplete underseal on my Mustang... they inspected it today and approved the work to be rectified. No agro, no time delay, fair discussion about the remaining paint issues and a quick decision to take the car in and put them all...

I finally collected my car... and I'm loving it :-) I identified a few minor paint and upholstery issues during the PDI but they has said they will correct in the next few weeks when convenient. I strongly advise preparing a checklist (or adding to the one Steve made) as it's easy to get...

Thanks Dwaine :-)

Karen and Stacy have failed to reply when asked about the cause of the delays... as has Andy Barratt (UK Ford MD). Collecting mine tomorrow, it was delayed for 6 wks in USA and 4+ wks in Zeebruge, no explanation provided when others from same ship made it to UK in only 5 days. My dealer is also...

Mine was delayed 4 weeks in Zeebruge... arrived on Southamption last weekend, arriving at dealership via road transporter tomorrow for Friday collection. I'm suspicious about the delay and will be double checking every panel and PDI item before they get my ££££.

The Tijuca cars are now 45mins from Southamption. I'm told most will go via rail to Liverpool then on to their dealerships from there. Most are aiming for later next week :-) I can see light... faint light but some light. I'm now a little excited but anticipating numerous quality issues upon...

I test drove at Winick Road but they wouldn't absorb the first reg increase post April even though they couldn't deliver before then so I went to Peoples in Bootle. My car also arrived in Zee on the 25th and sat there since, I emailed the UK Ford M.D. to chase and ask why... acknowledgment but...

What dealer did you order from? I see you are in Cheshire. I'm in Warrington but I ordered through Peoples in Liverpool. I was told a max of 4 days in Southampton as only small storage area. And some guys have said they often use rail to transport to Liverpool.

Thanks... It's great news if true. I'll believe it when I drive it :-)

I'm told my car will be on tomorrow's ship from Zeebruge to Southampton... does anyone have any idea which ship it is then I can track it?

Mine is still on holiday in Zeebruge... 3.5 weeks and counting. I haven't had a reply from Andy Barratt (Ford UK MD) or Karen, but I did air my frustrations with my dealership over the weekend (I arrived in a nice new M4 BMW to get their attention, alternatives are available and been...

How do you want it to sound? They can be bespoke systems... deeper H pipe sound or X pipe rasp, you decide. The company has previously made exhausts for me for a TVR, 370z and several bikes. I'm keen for a deep tone and 'loud when wanted' but none of the drone from the bolt on systems. They will...
