  1. What are you paying for 93 octane now? [⚠️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS ⚠️]

    In Australia, my local Costco has 98, equivalent to 93 in US, at equivalent to US$5.00 per gallon. Not far away a Shell is around $6.18. Gotta shop around!
  2. 2017 EcoBoost gear changing question

    I think the 2017 Ecoboost and the 5.0GT share the same auto box. I have GT auto and mine will stay in 5th around town too. At those low speeds 6th is too high, hence when you click the right side paddle it shows 5th and will not go to 6th. I don't think you have a problem.
  3. What did you do to your Aussie S550 today..

    I'd be interested to know if lowering makes the already harsh ride of the 2017 any worse.
  4. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Thanks Deyon, that's the sort of detailed info I was hoping to receive from this group of detailing experts! I'll go over it thoroughly and make a plan of action. Cheers!
  5. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    Taking delivery of a new vehicle next week. Not a Mustang, one is enough. I don't want to go the whole ceramic protection thing, but would like advice on a good protective coating regime that I can easily apply and maintain myself, while the paint is new, without using polishing tools, just my...
  6. How to remove butt imprint from leather seat?

    Maybe get a smaller butt?
  7. Cabin interior motion detectors

    Yes, can confirm that this definitely happens.
  8. Need dipstick length on 5.0 Coyote gen 3 with 10 qt pan

    Same thing happened to me at my local dealer. 2017 GT requires 7.6litres (8quarts). Idiots put in the 10quarts required for the 2018 model. Never returning!
  9. Dealership Botched Oil Change

    Local dealership did the exact opposite on my 2017 GT. Replaced the oil with 9.5litres, which is the correct quantity for a 2018 GT, not the 7.6litres that the 2017 requires. Absolute morons can't even identify which car they are working on, let alone perform the correct task.
  10. Caught Off Guard!

    Haha! We have to wear shorts so we can see if the fire ants are crawling up our leg! And here in sunny sub-tropical Brisbane it's shorts all year round.
  11. Caught Off Guard!

    Canadians are welcome in Australia and we can drive our Mustangs 365 days per year!
  12. What's In DFB's Cabinet?

    My local Autobarn store is advertising Turtle Wax Pro to the Max Liquid Wax for $10 a bottle. Seems like great value when usually $50+ I currently use the Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Detailer after every wash and my paint is in pretty good condition. Car is garaged. Firstly, has anyone any...
  13. I can't believe what my Ford Dealer is telling me!!

    It would be easier to fit a battery tender.............
  14. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Both galloping forwards.
  15. Convertible Rocker Stripe

    Rocker stripes are cool!
  16. What's your secret to parking so you don't get door dings?

    It doesn't matter how far away you park
  17. Car key rolling security codes hacked - extra immobilizer ideas?

    How about the good old fashioned steering wheel lock? Visually dissuades the thief from attempting to steal your vehicle, and when not in use can be used to bludgeon attempted hijacker! Just a thought.
  18. Negative Terminal Disconnect?

    I second this. On mine recently I found that the lower "jaw" of the negative terminal had slightly deformed the battery post. I could spin it but not lift it off. Unbolted the whole negative terminal clamp and the positive and lifted the battery out so that I could gently lever the negative...
  19. Tire life - years vs miles

    Replace. My wife drives a VW Golf which I wash and detail regularly, including adding tyre gel for appearance every second wash. Recently I found large cracks on the two oldest tyres (Pirellis) which were 7 years old. The cracks must have appeared between washes as they were extremely obvious...
