@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...

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:

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Just found this, not sure if it's been posted here. EDIT: U.K. forum. Got to salute " Fred in his shed ". :like:

IIRC, wasn't there a 15-17MY owner on here who fitted a GT350 front end to a RHD, white S550? Might be worth looking for that thread. If I were doing this, I would try to source OEM 15-17MY GT350 wings and bumper from Ford. I would also look to see if the GT350/GT500 was sold in any European...

Hi. Seasons greetings to all, I hope you're enjoying the holidays. Got an issue with the car, had it a while now. Slowly turning left, off the drive into the road, I hear one or two knocks from the N/S rear, happens everytime. I took it to the dealer earlier this year, I reproduced it for...

Nope!

I had a new Whipple 3 Ltr stage 2 fitted to my 2019 GT, along with the uprated OPG and CG. The Whipple tune was crap. I contacted Whipple and politely requested a revision tune to deal with the issues I was experiencing. The car would behave as if my foot was bouncing on the throttle pedal. To...

This photo is worth adding just for a laugh, 'smiles per gallon' is a term that I hear quite often ... :giggle: WD :like: City driving sucks!.... :wink:

You're spot on there. Removing the rear quarter would have been the very last resort. I'm just grateful I had the luck to find a good service provider. Waiting to get the car back from paint now.

I don't mean to piss on anyone's parade... In 2019 I had a Ghost II fitted to my GT after an RS focus owning associate nagged me not to fit a pandora system and get the Ghost II (I do not have, nor have I ever had a Pandora system). Straight away the Ghost II threw PCM error codes, which cost...

Absolutely. In the unfortunate event of the unthinkable happening, it's useful if someone can recommend a process or a person/company which can help and does work worthy of recommendation. Cheers. :thumbsup:

@2021 Mach 1 Not a Ford franchise dealer/workshop. An independent with equipment and access to the Ford systems for CAN work. That's all I can say for now.

Last year, a garage tasked with carrying out some CANSys work on my car, thought they'd include damaging the body work, into the bargain. A really nasty dent. I won't name the company, at this stage, but at no time did the company which damaged my car apologize or show even the slightest...

Good advice. I had to learn (The hard way) that Dashcams are not just for the geeks and while I object to the aesthetics, in my experience DCs are now an essential for driving in the U.K. Sadly. Good luck with tidying up the final issues with the car. Summer will soon be here and you'll be...

Consider, that for each path you take in life, most likey, someone else has already walked it. Therefore: " He who does not observe history, is doomed to repeat it ". There are a few layout issues with the latest plan you've posted, but I'm sure you'll sort it. Good luck.
