It is also funny that owners of right hand drive s550s do not report any tick. Nearly 20,000 of us with no tick. 6,000 UK cars are supplied with 5w20 oil and the Aussies with 5w30. If the noise was coming from inside the engine we should have the tick too. What is different between LHD and RHD versions is all the plumbing external to the block, I suspect a pipe of somesort tapping something it shouldn't.

I’m UK, and suffering with the 2000k rattle/tick bad

Yep. Totally agree, main mechanic at Ford does too.. but said he doesn’t think Ford will
Approve the work!!!! Amazing hey? Brand new £48k car 300 miles with a knackered engine and no help ‍ I need more UK input on this

I’ve already told the dealership, Ford Uk and my finance company that I won’t be keeping it if the noise isn’t fixed, they seem to agree.
I’m just so disappointed, had it a week, driven it 2-3 days. Also I don’t know what I would go for now as I’ve always wanted this model :-/

Now that Canada has gone all tree-hugging barmy I wonder if it's a good idea for Ford to make their 5 litre V8s there.
It would just take one self-righteous, anti-engine bloke (or in the Essex plants case womxn) on the production line to screw up a random number of engines, on purpose.

Just like the slaves the Nazis used, to build engines in the war.

I really like his theory lol ^

 

[Condor1970]

Yeah,just blame it on the Canadians. It's always their fault.

I'm sure some factory worker would risk his / her job and the well being of their family to sabotage your engine, one of the dumbest comments made yet.

Just look how crazy the liberals have gone in the USA, it wouldnt even be surprising these days. Theyd claim its for the "greater good" to sabotage high hp engines

Politics has never been my strong suit, but I would hope that the majority of the people in the world and in this case the factory workers would take pride in what they do and would never think of doing anyone wrong.

For reference, I "am" being sarcastic. And don't be callin' me names now. The L word is worse than making fun of my mother.

Please don’t post this stupid crap in here. This thread is for technical discussion.
FYI, most of the people designing your high hp engines are a mix of left and right.
