  1. Drop in tune in the UK

    You, don't see... Well, at great time & expense for me, I do see because I had my car S/C'd stage 2 & so having that experience, I advise anyone smart enough to listen, not to S/C... :like:
  2. Drop in tune in the UK

    I really wouldn't do that to a OPF'd GT. I've been there, done that & I'm back to NA now. Vendors might say otherwise... I believe you can buy electronic pedal adaptors for different, preset, pedal responses. I think the over-run of my 19 GT is just the right amount of burble/rumble and NO...
  3. Upgrade Advice - on the corners

    :crackup:, perspective is distorting the first picture, I'd agree the car looks a bit strange, hence including the individual tyre pics. I've worked at design studios in Hethel and South of Birmingham. Working with designers, I noticed very often they sketch cars with very low profile tyres...
  4. Upgrade Advice - on the corners

    I snapped a few casual pics this morning, while I was out, then when it was parked on the drive. Front, R19 x 10, 285 x 40, ~1.5cm from arch to tread, @12 O'clock. Rear R19 x 11, 295 x 40, less than 2cm arch to tread, @12 O'clock. My speedo over reads a GPS I have, by 1 to 2 mph. When...
  5. Upgrade Advice - on the corners

    I imported Project 6GR seven spoke, 19" wheels for my GT. They were a reasonable price, much lighter and wider than the OE wheels. I run 295 40s at the rear now, although I have had 305 35s before, and 285 40 on the front. I think the widths are 11" and 10" respectively. Running 40s means the...
  6. Oil - Type to use and best

    Motul 5w30, WSS-M2C934-B, changed evey 5k miles.
  7. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Recently decided to look into red lense rear lights for my U.K. GT (tries very much not to write rant about Ford...). At that time, there just so happened to be a discount on the VLAND website, so I ordered a set. I have a 2019 GT. The top edge of the light housing does not sit flush with the...
  8. 5/5?.... Meh!

    Up to around five years, the car was low maintenance, just the annual service and some warranty work, however, the failures and the repairs during the last ~9 months, have put me on first name terms with the staff at my preferred dealership/service centre. They're a great bunch and average 5/5...
  9. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Yeah, it does look and feel low cost/quality. In addition, I think it's a flawed design solution. Adhesive foam strips may be good enough to help retain wheel arch trims, as you see on some vehicles. However, ime, we use this type of tape as a secondary fixing, and not to seal the car from...
  10. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    @raptor17GT Yes, I heard about the depot, I know someone who works there. They're operational again now though. Thanks for the link. :like:
  11. What did you do to your UK S550 Mustang Today

    Recently discovered the CHMSL (Centre, high mounted, stop light) is leaking water into the boot/trunk and into the void in the rear quarter, between the rear of the rear wheel arch and the rear bumper. Therefore, especially as it's currently the UK monsoon season, check you do not have a small...
  12. FORD MUSTANG FASTBCK V8 Manual - Battery Questions

    I have replaced the main battery on my GT. I bought a Yuasa battery from Halfords, however, at that time, the Halfords system recommended a battery that would not fit the car. Instead, I noted the physical dimensons of the original battery, found a match and got as close as I could to the...
  13. Oil recommendation.

    Ah! The engine oil thread... Motul, 8100, eco-clean+, 5W30. Every 5000 miles! :bandit:
  14. Knock sound from N/S rear when turning left.

    @MarkM I'm just glad it's been identified and the offending items removed. Although the kit isn't what I would call, low-cost, I was worried whatever was making the sound, was something that would have been a lot more expensive to rectify. Perhaps this thread may be useful as reference...
  15. 2019 GT manual jumps out of 6th gear!

    That made me laugh. :crackup: Either magic, or perhaps, the Force? Interesting, I don't really know much about transmissions. Perhaps I'm about to learn... Thanks. :like:
  16. 2019 GT manual jumps out of 6th gear!

    I've only a few days left, of the Ford warranty, I will see the dealership next week, for an unrelated matter. However, I'm currently in an email exchange with Ford UK customer service about the missing thrust washer, and that conversation is not going well. Latest email from Ford UK CS...
  17. 2019 GT manual jumps out of 6th gear!

    First had this happen a couple of years ago, couldn't replicate it and I had no way of recording it... Then as randomly as it had happened, it seemed to have ceased jumping out of 6th. Well, the gremlin appears to have returned and it's happening more often. Crusing, flat surface, normal load...
  18. Knock sound from N/S rear when turning left.

    Finally come to the conclusion and rectification of the issue with a knocking sound coming from the rear of the car at initial pull-away and/or turning left at low speed. I only agreed to having these stupid items installed after being nagged by the "sales man" at MAP. One of the components...
  19. Knock sound from N/S rear when turning left.

    N/S rear drive has been disassembled, to reveal................................( we suspected a failed thrust washer) There was no thrust washer, never has been. :clap: Do not trust Ford to assemble your car completely or correctly, evidently, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize...
  20. Knock sound from N/S rear when turning left.

    My car is still (just) under warranty, I'll book it in with the dealership, see if I can get to the bottom of the issue.
