Missed this post earlier. Mine is the same with the manual and has happened roughly 4 times so far (over a 6 month period). In first gear at the lights then when depressing the accelerator it pops out into neutral with a clunking sound. I also assumed it was myself not fully placing it into...
Hopefully for you it stays gone. I went a bit over the top and started removing anything in the rear out of the car including internal panels etc as I thought it was coming from the trunk area.
There are a number of places in Australia that are importing them and all seem to be due in mid to late October. I.e mystangmods, autoware, etc
Cost is around the AUD$590. Not sure about the Uk but would assume the same timeframes of availability.
Sounds like rob herrod here in Australia will be selling them for RHD. I imagine any prep work would be well done so hopefully it’s a straight forward install. I’ll be ordering from there once they are available.
No strut brace here due to RHD. From memory the rest is very similar to EU spec. On the positive side I wanted a car I could work on in future years and Ford will contribute towards the parts !
I’m looking at retrofitting the torsen. But from what I can work out that will breach the warranty which is somewhat ironic. Waiting for confirmation on that. Not too fussed about the adaptive cruise control as mine isn’t a daily driver. Reverse parking sensors have to be fitted aftermarket and...
Hi Mike,
Great to hear you were able to pick one up. Mine landed a few weeks ago here in OZ and I have to say have been surprised how much I enjoy driving the car. That Tremec is hands down the most enjoyable manual transmission I have ever used.
Have to agree with you that in reality won’t need it. For me it’s trying to obtain the parts that the US model has and we don’t. Just closing the gap where possible. Not to the handling pack level but rear light sequencers, strut brace and a few other things. Also keeps me out of house and in...
I missed the call as well. Correct me if I am wrong but if the vehicle has been approved as it is currently configured, can Ford actually retrofit any parts as per the brochure (I.e. Torsen). I.e. Is Ford able to revise the approval to retrofit the parts or will it just stand as it is and they...
Very jealous of guys in the US. Makes me wonder if it’s a scale of economies thing for some parts that are not like for like and require new / modified parts out of the factory for RHD production. Having said that that am very pleased they are making RHD production vehicles !
There is an issue with LHD drive not fitting in the RHD vehicles. When looking at CJ Pony parts for example it explicitly says will only fit LHD drive vehicles. My Mach 1 is still a few weeks away by boat and trying to source a few parts that I know are missing. There are obviously other Ford...
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone had managed to locate a source for an OEM Mach 1 RHD strut tower brace. Or aware if there is no intention to produce any in RHD. Apologies if this has been raised in another thread. Many thanks.
The Torsen and coolers were the primary reasons I was keen on Mach over the GT, however I suspected early on this wasn’t the case with the Torsen and it would be the 3.55. Considering there’s no handling pack option, items you’ve identified above and others such as no tower strut brace it makes...
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread (and if it’s updated elsewhere), but curious now that it’s a few years on how the products have performed. I’ve usually gone down the traditional path but curious how ceramic and permagard have performed (with any maintenance experiences).
