I've had my CTEK for quite a while, probably near ten years and it has been very reliable. Recently the mode switch stop working. Possibly newer versions have a different switch to rectify this. Luckily it is a relatively easy fix by disassembling the unit and spraying contact cleaner into the...

Located Epping NSW, I have the following parts available, some parts as noted are new and never used. PM if interested. Steeda Billet Bonnet/hood latch release (Black) - 555-1248B $A75.00 - New Steeda IRS Subframe Bushing Support System (New) 555-4437 $A290.00 Steeda IRS Alignment Kit (New)...

It was more the timing of the purchase. Bullitts were still new but sold out, Mach 1s had not been announced and I needed a replacement vehicle. At the time I was looking at a Giulia QF or a Camaro, I liked the Mustang, but not enough to purchase anything that was on offer until the R-SPEC was...

As a current R-SPEC owner, I believe these cars are very easy to drive. I've used mine as a daily near on 4 years in most weather conditions. It feels very OEM like with regard to the driving experience. It is more of a street car set up than for track. Mine is unmodified and I've not had any...

In AUS we've had "Laser", "Meteor" and "Escort"

By way of a PSA of sorts, I had a similar ticking style noise in a manual MY20 that was speed dependent and appeared to be a driveshaft issue. Most prominent around the 30-35mph in third or fourth, only someone who would regularly drive car would notice the noise, it wasn't loud. Did the...

Did they try starting it in Neutral? (If you can do that - mine's a manual)

It seems that the term "market value" from an insurer's perspective has nothing to do with the market at all. In the event of a claim, the insurer decides what the vehicle is worth based on kms, condition, accessories. I don't see any reference to market values in the fine print so I'll be...

You make some good points there. I had to have the agreed value on my 180SX upped significantly after the recent price increases of JDM cars for the reason you mentioned. Under the original insured value it wouldn't have taken much damage for the insurer to write it off. The insurance for my...

Are you sticking with same tyre sizes as stock?

^ I had an update available off the Ford Owners website which I downloaded and installed last week. It was serviced by Ford about a month ago where they told me Sync was up to date. I'm not sure what it was for, I am still on Sync 3.4 20282. Map version is ANZ119. It did appear to change the...

With regard to the number plates. I became aware a few months back, that some search engines and social media sites can pick up letters and numbers including those on number plates from photos. I did a search via Google for some plates I've had and I got a few hits from sites such as car sales...

Has anyone done the Steeda clutch spring on a right hand drive car? It seems a little more awkward to remove the OEM assembly with it mounted on the other side of the pedal. Any tips? EDIT: I couldn't compress anymore than 2 coils on the OEM spring. I used the cable tie method, compressed 2...

There's a local variant here in AUS called the R - SPEC which uses the same rear spoiler. I picked up the gurney flap and it came with the hardware in the photo that shows a part number that might assist. B41L-BAG-A

Just putting this out there for anyone who gets desperate in trying to locate a rattle like I did and not one for turning up the volume on the stereo. After 18 months of having the rear trim of the car removed and 2 body shops trying to locate a rattle around the C pillar in my car (not a...

Damn, sorry to hear that. Similarly, recently I was changing over my wheels from a track day. On the last wheel was getting a bit lazy and distracted when tightening up the final lug nut when the wheel brace slipped off. My head then proceeded to put a forehead size dent in the rear quarter...

Basically some commercially available speed humps with a timber base (planks) "dynabolted" to the driveway. Gives me an extra 90mm clearance, You can purchase each section of the speed hump separately. The fall of the driveway is about 3 metres from top to bottom,

I have a nasty downward driveway as well. The crest at the top being the most problematic and at the bottom there is a drain and a small lip up into the garage but I can reverse straight back. I've tried to modify the driveway rather than the car. Have you tried both forward and reverse...

I was looking at an Alfa Giulia QF, there were a few new 2017/18s hanging around for used money, M2 Competition and Camaro 2SS. Wasn't looking at Mustangs at the time. Then Ford Aus released the R Spec and got on to that. Each of these were around the $A115K mark, with Camaro the exception at...

After some assistance here. I'm currently wiring up a dashcam on an MY20 I'm wondering if the previously recommended fuses 2 & 23 may have changed. Fuse 2 (10A) is for power mirrors & central locking, fuse 23 an amplifier (30A).I'm having difficulty getting the fuse taps to seat in these...
