I’ve sold my mustang and in the garage I found an unused genuine ford air filter that I had imported as you can’t get them in the U.K. I had 2 of them sent over last time to minimise postage. It won’t fit the gt or ecoboost. This is the big yellow paper cone one for the open bucket, not the flat...

We are on the same page. I’ve only ever bought one new car and that was a mustang s550. I only buy something that I can afford and I don’t like PCP leasing etc. My last car was 16 yrs old when I sold it on for a mere £500. But (certainly in my country) people like us are in the minority. I can’t...

Manufacturers love the idea of BEV as it ticks all the boxes for them. If I was in charge of ford I would be thinking that the s650 should be a light styling refresh of the s550 done on the cheap. I would be putting all my money into an s750 which would be a 2 door coupe build on a shared Mach E...

I’m pretty sure it won’t be classed as a luxury vehicle for 3 reasons: 1. It’s built by ford and ford don’t do luxury since they sold Jaguar off. 2. It’s built by ford and they don’t have the factories or workforce required to build a luxury vehicle. It would require huge expense to build a new...

No idea on the paint colour but the air con is very lightly to be a failure in the evaporator core. All s550 mustangs are prone to this and it’s a (very expensive) dash out job to replace it with a new one which will be equally prone to failure.

Depends if the pictures above are to be believed. If it’s got Mach 1 HP wheels then it’s not legal in the EU and U.K. because they poke beyond the fenders. If memory serves, the HP splitter also won’t meet EU pedestrian impact regs. Hence why the HP cannot be specified on export Mach 1’s.

Fairly confident this will NOT be sold in Europe for all the same reasons they couldn’t sell the Mach 1 HP here. Not legal over here sadly

Small fast 3 cylinder Toyota by any chance?

I would have to select the “ built mid week by skilled, motivated employees with good eye for quality control “ option. Imagine if you could pay an extra $1000 and have consistent panel gaps and all the bolts torqued to the correct values with thread lock used etc….

Thankfully we have that fake leather, not fabric seats. Wipe clean seats are a god send. No need for condoms in a mustang just do it naturally.

My post is out of date now.. it’s £1.90 + per litre today for v power. If memory serves, 50% ish is tax

Don’t complain too much… shell v power (99 RON / 93 AKI) is £1.89 a litre here, so $9 / US gallon in your money… I have considered using regular E10 (95 RON / 90 AKI) at £1.75 litre for long distance motorway trips where you burn through a tank sitting at a steady speed, not putting any strain...

I’m running the BMR springs and cb005 too on stock Ford performance pack dampers, PP sway bars and PP wheels. The front end is fine for road use, but the rear is not inspiring confidence. I think the pp dampers just aren’t up to the job. Role stiffness is fine, but the rear is bouncing and feels...

Can of carb cleaning spray is very cheap..... But I want to know more about this crank case cleaning..... do they mean jet washing the underside of the car? or.... more worrying, do they mean cleaning the inside of the crank case... which presumably is full of engine oil... so what they drain it...

please post your first impressions when you get it all bolted back up. Really keen to know if this is a mod that I want to explore. Im trying to be a bit targeted these days and only address areas of the car that really need sorting. Like the bouncy back end, and then the gear change.... no...

Are these the new version from BMR where you drill 2 holes through the bodywork and there's a backplate inside the boot? Im looking at putting these on with some Bilstein B6 shocks to try and cure the weird floaty bumpy back end. How's it worked out for you? any noticeable change?

Replaced the indicator stalk / switch assembly.. no joy. Had the ford dealer run diagnostics and they said the body control module needed replacement (£500). While they had the part on order, I read elsewhere that mysterious electrical gremlins can go away when the battery is disconnected for...

I find it really easy to switch to lhd when renting on holiday, to be honest after 2 weeks abroad it takes just as long to get used to rhd again. If I had to choose I would prefer lhd in a lhd country rather than rhd in a rhd country as I find it slightly easier to operate the screens as a right...

In the video above it shows the shaft being rotated as it enters the diff, presumably without the wheels turning as they seem to be grounded. The shaft rotates by hand a huge amount in either direction. While I’m sure the 2 piece driveshaft is also a bit sloppy, the amount of backlash is the...
