Ah thanks mate, yeah I never understand these things, PCM, ECU, TCM... I guess play it safe and don't let Ford touch it. No extra BHP is criminal! 😁 I'm guessing it would undo all the stuff from Wengerd (when I get around to receiving/fitting the Vortech kit)? Just had to pay UPS some lovely...

What was the PCM recall WD? Was it a specific year thing?

Finally found time to machine polish the bonnet. Weather was perfect. No wind, a bit cloudy and not too hot. Had some annoying holograms and webbing and few fine scratches. Just did one pass with Chem Guys V36 on a Hex Logic Green (all rounder) pad - came up alright I think. After that, I...

I used a ceramic shampoo so figured that would be OK. I'd had enough by then lol. 😁 When I replace the discs I might wax them at that point. I have some Fusso wax which is good for 6 months or so. Thanks. :like:

What should have been an easy day turned into one of those "I'll just do this..." and "oh and I suppose I can do this...". 😂 So I had to take the rear drivers side wheel off and drop it in at the local tyre shop as it had been losing about 4psi a week. Couldn't see anything obvious or hear...

Jeez side by side I had no idea how thin the steeda clamps are. If mine goes again, I'll get these. Thanks for this WD. :like:

Thanks all. Phew. Yeah probably just the space enhancing the normal noises. I shall ignore it. :like:

Hey just wondering if it is normal for the 10R80 to make clicking sounds when changing between D > N > R and vice versa? I heard it today when in a car park for the first time. I was up against a wall with my window down, so perhaps that helped with my hearing. I'm stationary in the bay in...

I have one or two torque wrenches and some other tools from Wera. Quality is amazing - what else would you expect from the Germans. :) https://www-de.wera.de/en

Big thanks to Jake and @beefcake for sorting me out a deal. Pushed the button today. Gotta pay tomorrow though. :crackup:

Sounds like most dealers I've encountered as well. 😂 Well if it is a clogged cat you'd be down on power, possibly get a CEL, have terrible fuel economy (more so than normal with a V8 lol) and perhaps trouble starting the car. Things will just eventually become worse. You could check the...

A rotten smell, like eggs or sulphur usually indicates a problem with a clogged CAT. The smell is there because the exhaust gases are not being converted fully. Could also be a fuel sensor / filter issue. It certainly isn't something I'd say is normal.

Aircon regas and debug. I now have pointy nipples. Too cold. ❄

You are right, could have been damaged by the mechanic who did the change. Or a bad batch. I'll just go Ford OEM again. You people have put me right off changing it for aftermarket. :cwl:

Hmm so I guess when I was underneath the car at the garage having the alignment checked a year ago, the oil dripping out past the plug must have been my imagination. Look I'm not trying to argue, I only came to ask about aftermarket choices, seems to have stirred up a right fuss over nothing...

There are some bits wrong with it, I've read posts about issues (leaking and breaking) and I doubt these people are making it up. My personal experience is, it leaks. But I do agree, I've had poor quality aftermarket parts too. I'll keep researching. I may go with the Femco Ford drain plug as...

Thanks both. I'll keep reading what I can as well as I go.

Hi all I'm coming up to another oil change on the '18 GT and I'd like to move away from the fragile yellow OEM plastic Ford plug. I did some reading on this forum about the Femco product(s). From what I gathered, the M12x1.75 brass drainers will do the trick. With the horizontal fitment into...

Or anything that says "track" seems to bump the price up. Like Motual 300V. £240 for 10l. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-867-motul-300v-power-5w-30-ester-core-technology-racing-car-engine-oil.aspx I must be getting old grumbling about prices. 😁

Got mine coming up next month. Can't deicde on if I want to use Shell Helix Ultra again or try perhaps Millers EE performance variant. But looking at nearly £100 for 10l of Millers Oil. 😟...
