What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

[GW65]

Not very exciting, but... Got bored with stuff sliding around on the cheapo boot carpet, so bought the official boot liner (£73 new on Fleabay). Based on the pictures I guessed there'd be a gap on the right-hand side to the sub-woofer as the B&O sub doesn't have the frame/lip that the Shaker sub had, and sure enough there is...but not a big deal, and other than that fits perfectly. Now to see if it actually stops stuff sliding around!

About £45 from CJPP, then another ~£35 to ship/customs etc

Because she’s worth it!

Was at the dealer to have my air-con re-gassed. Mentioned it was blowing warm at the third service, just inside my warranty, and it went back mid-April to be tested however they couldn't find a leak resulting in the re-gassing diagnosis. Apparently three years is Ford's recommended interval on these systems(!) but they didn't have any of the new stuff in stock and needed to be trained in the process hence the return today.
On evacuation they found the system almost empty, which is not normal and would suggest a leak however a nitrogen fill with dye has still failed to show up anything. So have now been re-gassed with more dye and the car is blowing cold again.
Can't help but think i've not seen the back of this issue...

Same I'm on my 2nd regass in 8 months can't find any leak... I told them about the TSB and Evap core they'll look into it, if it happens again...

Are they charging you for the re-gas?

Did first time, didn't 2nd time, they'll refund 1st time if they have to "investigate further"

Technically I haven’t done anything just yet but had a load of parts arrive yesterday and today for the car.

18+ digital dash, switches and cowl etc
18+ active exhaust mufflers (ones going back as damaged)
GT350 rear diffuser. No idea if the 18 pipes will fit but it was only 225 used. Plan is to cut the plastic mesh and fake tail trims out.
Pair of oil catch cans.

i thought yours was an 18 anyway ? didn't it come with digi dash and active exhaust as standard ?

 

[CraigJ]

Mines a 16

 

[hinch]

fair enough for some reason i had it in my head that you had one of the facelifts

 

[marzman]

Ah fantastic, i'd really like to do this digi dash mod but don't fancy spending so much on it. If the parts ever came up second hand though i'd be tempted.

Wish they did a pink one for my daughter she loves the pony she's only 3. Where did you get it from?

i know but getting it over to the UK is expensive i've been quoted $800!!! unless anyone knows how to get it cheaper, they base it on volumetric weight not actual weight so ends up being 700kgs in volume even though its 70lbs i think,,,,

Have you tried STS imports? https://www.stsimports.co.uk/

they charge £150 to ship a mustang bonnet and i think they quote based on space rather than weight as it'll come over on a boat.
