You should ring Ford Customer Services for a list of approved Body Shops in your area (some will be Ford dealers, other's won't). If you go to a bodyshop, they want the work, so will make your case. For them, pushing back would be turning away work! Talk to the bodyshop manager and check he...

Getting back to the original post, I had this corrosion on my bonnet in December. Complained to customer services and kept on their tail until February when they paid for a new bonnet to be installed. I was always polite but very firm and made sure I had all my facts including quoting the US...

Having just fitted a new steering wheel, I’m after a pair of aluminum paddle extenders. The ones I want are much shorter than the ‘pointed’ ones on the market. They are basically the same shape as stock but extend the paddles an inch or so top and bottom. The thing is, I can’t remember...

2017 GT Auto with Power Pack 2 using Shell V-Power (99 octane U.K. Spec) I get 32MPG on a 102 mile mostly motorway trip in D Mode with a light foot. If pushing it much harder on the same trip in S Mode, it drops to 26 MPG. The Power Pack increased the performance significantly but only dropped...

That's incredibly helpful!! Thanks

Hi guys, OK, I know this topic has been done a thousand times but I just wanted to get a UK perspective before finally splashing out. So I'm currently running stock Custom Pack wheels with P Zero's and want to go to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. The car is lowered with the Eibach Pro-kit but no...

But the VAT for goods under £135 has to be applied at the point of sale. If they don’t apply the tax because they’re shipping to a US address (which would be the case with Stackry) I’m not sure who collects the VAT, because Stackry won’t. I think this is going to take a while to become clear!

Hi guys, Just been reading the small print on changes from 1st Jan which will effect parts purchased from the US. The £15 threshold below which you can avoid VAT is gone. VAT must now be charged and collected by the SELLER for all items up to £135 (excluding cost of shipping, insurance). For...

I’m sure it will be. Many thanks!

Where can I find that TSB? Cheers David

Sounds good but a bit of a hike for me. Any recommendations in South East or South Coast areas?

How long is the warranty for these issues? Is it the basic 3 years or the longer period referred to in the manual for certain bodywork corrosion? Hendy Performance think it’s the longer period, but sadly they don’t have a Ford Approved body shop. Can anyone recommend an actual Ford Dealer...

I have one on order and have been corresponding on the detail. You are quite right. My one is being made by reupholstering a new OEM wheel as I like to keep all the parts in case a future owner doesn't share my taste! You make a good point about splintering but this company doesn't do the...

I was thinking of doing that, then gently sanding the top so the raised yellow picture reappears. That would make it match the other black with yellow text caps. But the blue ones are only like £5 on ebay if I can get the right size.

Thanks Jim, the yellow one also hinges, so probably the same.

Hi guys, Please can someone with a blue OEM washer bottle cap take a look underneath and let me have the embossed part number? It will look better with my theme than the yellow one. I'm assuming they are interchangeable but does anyone know for sure? Thanks David

So just to finish my experience with Stackry, the additional tax was for 4 x Tshirts. Bizarrely, they attract an additional 25% tax from the US (So 20% VAT, 12% Duty and 25% additional tax!!). Anyway I disputed it with fedEx and got away with reclassifying them as 'Cotton Shirts', which...

Thanks for the ideas. The genuine GT350R wheel uses Alcantara which is an artificial suede. I've read is doesn't last, but I wonder how bad it is. e.g. worn out after 10K or 100K? Has anyone tried the products from autofun_extreme on ebay? They look good quality (German) with the option to...

Good info. I’m still learning how this works. I think I’ve been over taxed. They added £31 for “other tax” on top of the 20% VAT and Customs Duty. Any idea what that would be for? (Only rubber hoses, plastic dress-up parts and some T Shirts). I’ll wait for the detailed invoice before paying...

What does anyone know / recommend about aftermarket steering wheels available in the UK/EU? I like the GT350R style but some of the aftermarket ones on EBay look better than the more expensive OEM model. The aftermarket ones seem to be built around the same frame as they often have a similar...
