Re: Finnish ST-Line X owner

I saw that licenses have been blocked as from 18th December at ForScan. Has anyone who updates firmware on ForScan tried recently if it's possible to download anything? Would really want to know if it's possible to download the new ACM update if it had a chance to fix the speaker issue. There's som...

Re: Gearbox Issue - 2nd gear dead

I wonder if Ford have calculated the cost of how many customers they will lose by making things such as gearboxes, which should well outlive the car, by designing to "target price" instead of reliability.

Re: Gearbox Issue - 2nd gear dead

Be interesting to know if the same designer who designed the early powershift also designed this gearbox. Same company and the early powershift has caused misery to a lot of owners and may fail again after repair. Destinined to fail by design, similar to the manual box here it seems, unless it's pr...

Re: Just saying Hi

Sorry I could have put it better. I was just thinking about defensive driving. And sorry to those I cut up in my earlier years! Many years ago my wife got T-boned in a supermarket car park. The car that hit her hit her that hard it snapped the suspension strut clean off the car.......in a @#@@ing c...

Re: Just saying Hi

OK I want to be controversial. Don't see a need for a dash cam for me. Any time I have had an accident or have had a near miss it was because I was cutting corners, just trying to nip into a gap etc. So I put I down to myself. I think there is a certain type of driver (e.g. newly passed test) who m...

Welcome to the forum.

It's quite lively for a 1 litre. Pretty happy with ours overall.

Re: Just saying Hi

Welcome to the forum.

Dashcam yes. Alarm no as the car has one already. If you are worried about it being stolen then have a tracker fitted instead. The police won't have time to find it but you will.
