Iol, it’s quick enough for our broken roads, D5 212 PS Geartronic

I drive a 10 year old Volvo S80 diesel as my daily and keep my Mustang for best

I’ve had three facelift V8 Mustangs and never had a problem, you’ll only read about the broken ones on the internet.

It sounds like your gearbox input shaft has failed, if it was the clutch you wouldn’t be able to select a gear with the engine running.

You will own nothing and be happy

Yes, I’m in the UK so I guess it’s even easier in the States, it was around £150 plus 20% tax so the equivalent of $230, I imagine in the States it’ll be cheaper but bear in mind this was for a GT, a Bullitt one may be dearer

Yes these are available from Ford, I’ve just bought one for my GT and it was surprisingly cheap.

Not wanting to be ‘the one’ but in an automotive application they’re discs, a disk is something you used in a computer in ‘80s

The indicator stalk is on the left and the wipers are on the right which is actually incorrect in a RHD car, traditionally the indicators were on the right so you could change gear with your left hand but sometime in the 1970s we fell inline with Europe who drive on the right, it’s now become...

Controversial I know but but I’ve spent 40 years in the motor trade and from my experience I’ve learned that any modification to any car will introduce a compromise, when I see a car with mods I either walk away or make sure it’s cheap enough to trade out of

I have this in my 2022 auto, if it was some old banger I’d bought out of a car auction I’d be looking for a dry belt, pulley or tensioner but it’s coming from further back in the engine bay, it’s spoiling my enjoyment of the car

The Ford PDI process is next to useless, three out of four of my new Mustangs had incorrect wheel alignment and one had noticeably high headlight beam adjustment
