Same situation with GT500 and Shelby super snake Those engines will not meet EU emissions regulations without significant development. Given Mustangs already niche market in the EU, the volumes just can’t make money.

Ok so for example your purchase is £100 Import duty =10% so that’s £10 which means £110 total And shipping is £20 so that’s £130 total so far Then add 20% vat on that subtotal = £26 so that’s now £156 If it’s coming DHL etc you might get away without all this but if it’s post office then there’s...

I think it’s a global rate so no different China or USA but please chime if you know better than me. So its import duty at 10% plus shipping costs plus 20% VAT on the total so it’s tax on tax.... If the Post Office or I assume parcel force are the nominated uk courier then they have the cheek...

I think many folks have very different expectations of a car. Some folks want to spend their weekends cleaning it. Some preserve it as an investment time capsule with every factory sticker still in tact. For me it’s just a really cool daily driver to use and abuse. I’m a working guy so the...

Fair point Dealer has advised me to see how it goes as its working fine now. Difficult to dispute the fact that the elastoplast hasnt fixed the root cause until it stops working again....

How did you manage to persaude the dealer that the evap core was the issue? I've had 2 regasses and shown the dealer the tsb. They dispute the tsb claiming its for US cars only, theres no issue in europe and advise me its normal for refrigerant to simply disappear. I suppose it was...

I’m with Greg’s24 Generally you won’t get your money back on any mods, including underseal and fancy ceramic waxes. Modern cars aren’t like the rusty crusty wrecks from the past. Old cars are now more often scrapped due to expensive mechanical failure than tin worm. Just keep it clean...

Same issue with me. Woeful after care from main dealer even charged me for a regas under warranty and failed to add dye as they ‘ran out’ then chipped the paint and denied responsibility. Better using any independent. These cars are just cheaply designed and built but they have so much soul I...

Yeah I was at Lommell too. Great event with some beautiful machines. It is inspiring. 68 fastback for me please:) The thing about a classic is that its value remains generally stable, sure they have shot up over recent years, but I wouldn’t gamble my pension on that trend. But the point is they...

It really depends what you want to do with it and how much you want to spend I run a classic yank as a hobby car and my S550 is my daily hack precisely because classic cars make for crappy daily drivers By definition it’s an antique so bits will drop off it and you are permanently addressing a...

I had the same issue My post below got some lively debate... https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/real-world-oil-change-interval.127979/

wasnt sure where to post this as the event has been & gone but last weekend we smashed the record for the largest mustang meet... 1325 Stangs together at Fords proving grounds in Lommel in Belgium. Some amazing cars ranging from super rare classics (GT500kr anyone, even Mustang ii, when did...

Fair play, trip to halfrauds :)

So me & the Stang are going to lommel in Belgium this weekend for the mustang 1001 event at Uncle Henry’s proving ground. Do the headlights have a switch to convert RHD to LHD or do i need those god awful beam deflector stickers from halfrauds? I can’t be the 1st guy to take his Stang into...

all fair points well made Why would idling contaminate oil? Ok it gives longer warming up but surely that’s more a wear issue, idling should be relatively stress free?

Good advice. Will stop it nagging and ensure it’s changed before 12 months. Probably a good excuse to give it thrashing to warm the oil more

i had to reset it 2k ago after the dealer forgot... So yes I can get it to stop nagging me. But I guess my questions are: 1) is this common? 2) does it really need it? Personally I don’t think so, but the ford techy geeks must have made an algorithm for the ‘idiot light’ based on some logic? A...

So the idiot message ‘change oil soon’ appeared today on my car (v8). It’s managed a tremendous 2091 miles over 3 months since the last change (by a Ford dealer using genuine parts & correct synthetic oil). What digs? Porsche now have 20k service interval! I know the Stang uses sensors to...
