What brakes did you go for? Did you source in UK?

Hit a pothole which left a big split in tyre wall. Called Ford Assist and the AA arrived promptly (lucky for me he was just finishing a job nearby). Thought people might be interested to know they carry a temporary wheel with an adaptor that will fit on the rear. We put that on and he followed...

Just ordered a pair of PS4S rears from ATS Euromaster who have an offer on currently. They have an MO1 variant which is £25 cheaper per tyre than a standard PS4S tyre. MO1 seems to be a Mercedes specific designation. Can anyone think of a reason why these wouldn’t be suitable?

All the 4s (nearly)!

I had the same with my aircon last year. Took it to my local ford dealer and asked them to regas it - I mentioned it might have a leak so they added some dye, but it’s been fine so ive had no need to go back. It was about £70. If it has a bad leak it will fail the pressure test. I had the...

Just saw this at a pub near me. Beautiful.

I’ve been tempted to sell mine due to the high prices being offered this summer, and the fact that I hardly ever drive her now that I work from home. Having £30k of car sat in the garage collecting dust didn’t sit comfortably with me. My wife wants an SUV so I started looking at a Macan which...

Went to re-tax my car on 1st April (SORNed since Jan) to discover my MOT had expired! Managed to book one for the next day at KwikFit. Wouldn’t have been my #1 choice of locations but was desperate to drive the car this weekend (used to be my daily driver but now I work from home she’s become a...

I took mine to Tarnock Ford near Weston-S-Mare last week for 1st year service. They are a family run franchise with a passion for RS cosworths and the like and have done some mustang mods for other customers. Great service (both for the car and customer) and cheaper than main Ford dealer. Ford...

Yep, 5w20 is printed on the oil filler cap (as an extra measure to make sure they put the right stuff in!). This grade is pretty common in US but not in U.K. You can buy it online but it's not cheap. I saw in the AUS forum they are using 5w30, which has caused confusion no end because the filler...

So I took it back to the dealer today, they were messing around with it for about 45 mins (I hate that you can't see what's going on). When they were done they admitted it was "a little bit" over and have drained some off. I'll be finding somewhere else for 1 year service!

My change oil light came on at <4000 miles and 7 months of ownership. Dealer informed me this is likely to be because the car thinks it's a year old. But this didn't make sense because the car was built in May so it's 12 weeks early. Decided to get an oil change done anyway because I've not done...
