I rang the number on my paperwork and managed to speak with a human. They took my details and had an AA man at my holiday camp withi...

Re: 2024 Ford Puma announced

No Vignale so I may look elsewhere. In 2 weeks I'm off to see what the new Lexus LBX is all about. It's the 2024 car of the year and competes with the new Puma on price.

Re: Key Battery low

Could it possibly be a battery that has lost some power. I changed the battery in mine with one that was 5 years old (but still another 5 years life and almost 90% charge) that continued playing up. When I used a new one (10 years life) the problems disappeared

Re: First Car, Worst Car, Best Car.

1989 MG Metro Turbo - awful car but 155k miles of first car abuse. 1995 Nissan Primera - not bad, just efficiently dull. 2004 Honda S2000. Best by far, 70k miles / 10 years of 9kpm red line bouncing RWD fun. I had a 2002 Honda S2000 from new and greatly regret selling it 6 years later. A wonderful ...

Re: Sync software update !!!

I managed to load the XML file this morning and the Ford website is now telling both Sync and maps are up to date.

It was a fairly simple but time consuming process once I had advice from members on the correct process so many thanks to those who helped guide me.

Re: Sync software update !!!

My maps update took 80 minutes to load today in 3 separate trips and I have the XML file to load tomorrow. Hopefully it will go OK
