Mine just fell off one time, so might only be that, which is a relatively easy fix. I put it down to either ice in the winter (forcing them off?) or the Ford garage not putting them on very firmly when they replaced the bonnet (had the corrosion issue).

The one I have, just has cigar lighter and croc clips, no OBD. As you say, I'd assume you can't just charge through the lighter socket on a modern car, so I'd connect straight to the battery and just run the (thin) wires through the gap in the 'hood'. This is just enough inconvenience to stop...

Repaced my (2015 car) battery last year. I put it down to the dash cam (with parking mode) sapping the battery, but like others have said, 6 years isn't totally unreasonable. I try not to leave the car more than a week in the winter as also get other issues such as condensation build up...

December 3rd 2015.

I normally use mine with a hose pipe, if you just use the pump, you get a lot less pressure. I keep it in the car and have occasionally used a 1l plastic bottle out 'in the field' to jet off the bird craps though and it's OK. Sounds ideal if you have no water tap outside.

Although its cheaper, I gather the FP banded kit is still using the smaller bracket that people were reporting 'hood flex' with. At the time, the redline kit was considered better even though in the UK we had to get our angle grinders out! All the aftermarket struts appear to be an identical...

Thanks, poor pickings on ebay UK though, none in my color and thoe that are on sale are almost twice the price of a brand new one.

Original redline hood struts looking all manky and corroded. I might tidy up the brackets and replace the struts just in case the corrosion is a sign of future failure (also, the the rust looks awful). There are several 'mustang strut kit' supliers, but does anyone know if these struts are...

New bonnet for the weekend (due to corrosion on original). Ready for bird sh1t and insect splatter.

After the heart sinking moment of the sound of a concrete bollard tearing into my sideskirt (side splitter/side trim/running board whatever they're called), I'm going to replace it. The stock part comes with the pastic painted side panel (behind the door), but these are obviously separate...

Did my drivers side today. Passenger side will probably reside in the 'to do' section of the garage forever. Great mod, but cost more to import to the UK than the items temselves. Put a sticker over the spare hole and a piece of self-advesive felt to the loop bit to reduce any potential rubbing...

Thanks, great little mod. For me, it moves the belt just enough to keep off the neck.

Those 3D ones look great. I have the weathertech. Don't mind the 'industrial-ness', but as they have a texture for grip (probably the same as the other type), I find they are very hard to clean properly.

Yes, it's just that the position of the cupholders on RHD cars makes them useless for drinks anyway, so you don't miss them. The product rests securely on top of the holders, so you can just take it off in 1 second and throw it in the back if you really need to be driving along slurping down on...

I suppose all these costs of changing components mount up and they have a buget to stick to. For me the main anoying thing is the door mirrors. Export cars have massive ones with electic fold in. However, looks like they didn't change them for the RHD car, so the passenger side mirror is almost...

+1 After some research, I had an independent mobile tyre fitter based in East Midlands fit mine. It's the fitter's own business (rather than a disgruntled/irresponsible chain employee) and he seems to have decent kit (not that I'd really know). Sourced the tyres myself and he just fitted them...

I stubbornly stuck with the P zeros until they got down to 3mm as I couldn't bring myself to throw away perfectly 'good' tyres. I think they are OK in the warm weather, but overall, they are clearly not suited to the UK and I was very glad to see them go.

I think they probably all have this, but I recall it's the actual seats that get damaged on some people cars (probably depends on their height and seat position etc.), not necessarily just the strap. Having forked out on the seatbelt extender, just noticed a really neat solution on this...

Yes, handy for putting wallet and phone in, but can't have actual drinks in them and expect to use the gear-stick. We randomly all got the 'smokers-pack' as standard in the UK, which included an ashtray in the cupholder, as if to say "it's not meant to be a cupholder, it's an ashtray"!

Used google maps in a Fiesta loan car and it was a boon. I recall it was a faff to set-up, but that just might have been me.
