Didn’t realise it had been so long since my last post but in some ways time hasn’t moved at all. Had battery replaced in July, number 4 and so far not had deep sleep message which is first winter when haven’t had problems. Also like my last post the car is on its way to the garage for another accide...

New battery fitted today, unfortunately my wife had what was only a one mph shunt on the way to the garage and the car looks like it has been hit by a tank, reckon it will cost thousands. The collision warning came on as she hit the car in front😂 I think they have gone too far with this crumple zone...

Same happened to me when I opened the boot during one of our gales last year. My wife initially tried to super glue but I don’t recommend as when we finally stumped up for replacement it stopped the new ones from fitting right. They are a stupid design, held on by a screw but you have to take off al...

Totally agree, the reply actually comes from their electrical team in cologne supposedly experts😂 had a couple of more exchanges since but they are refusing to answer anymore questions as they say there is no fault. Suspect they know they are on thin ice because I asked them how their conclusion fit...

After 6 months of waiting have finally received reply from the ford electrical team in cologne. It seems to read more like something written by their legal department in the way they manage not to answer most of my questions but the few they do answer are interesting. Anyway copied it here so you al...

Just got car back again after further checks. When I asked what checks all they could tell me was that it was further hybrid tests. They didn’t know what for. Now back with ford technical but a different ford technical to the bunch that have been analysing my modem data for 6 MONTHS😡 Does anyone kno...

Car going back in next week for more tests but apparently only on the 12v battery. Can’t get straight answer from dealer who seem to think it is a non problem and I am just a troublemaker. I asked if they were looking wider at the 48v and charging system and they used the only following orders defen...

I think after 110 pages it is clear that no one really knows how these things work. The latest add for the puma says the mhev gives an extra 5 bhp and 20% improvement on performance. Wouldn’t think you would notice the former but certainly would the latter especially if it is mainly at the low rev e...

Guess my optimism was short lived as I got a deep sleep today 2 days after the 12v being fully charged. Guess I am now totally confused by the whole setup. Everything else is working great the actual drive is far better than it has been for some time which again I don’t understand simply because the...

I’m sure it’s not the battery sparks😂 car back but all they have said is the tests went well and they sent them back to ford. Heard nothing since. What I have noticed is that the electric motor is kicking in far more frequently and the ride feels much smoother but that last point might be my imagina...
