If anyone is sick of wating for their delivery (inc the poor ppl with cars stuck in Melb) my dealer has a few on the lot for sale if you're interested.
1 x GT in Oxford white, manual with Magnride and Recaro's.
1 x GT Oxford white, 10A.
1 x GT convertible in Carbonized grey, 10A.
1 x Ecoboost...
All they have to do is look at one side of the bonnet compared to the other, the issue is pretty obvious in person. I'm just worried about getting the run around.
To complicate things further it's getting PPF on Mon so gotta decide whether to get the bonnet done now or leave it assuming Ford...
Got a call from the service dept yesterday, the lady said they'd reviewed the photos and can't see anything wrong so I need to take it to them tomorrow so they can get photos from certain angles defined by Ford and put it through the system.
My dealer rep agreed something looked fishy but the...
Have setup my "star" button to switch the exhaust to quiet so I don't have to go through settings to do it.
On startup I flick that to keep it quiet till I'm down the road then switch it sport mode most of the time. I do like the normal cluster just cause it's easier to see how fast I'm going...
Hi guys,
Didn't think this worth worth a new thread so figured I'd post here since it's paint related.
Check out the pic below, mottling of the colour where the bonnet meets the qtr panel on the drivers side. You might need to zoom to see it.
It extends from the bonnet ridge to the qtr panel...
Worth telling the dealer to ensure the battery is plugged into a charger while the update is happening. The battery on my car was <50% charged when I picked it up (I luckily avoided the recall)
These ships turned up when the Qube strike action was going to take place and it caught everyone on the hop. I think Ford tried to find work around but it didn't go to plan, in fact it made things worse for their customers. Sometimes the do-nothing approach works best. Should've just waited out...
Hi All,
The current cars to hit our shores haven't been driven much and I'm not sure they disconnect the battery for transport (surely they do, but I digress). Anyhow, plugged mine into a charger today after only 15km of driving and yep, its less than 50% charged.
If you have access to an...
Hi All,
My dealer wasn't confident enough to fit the flow brackets to the front cause of the angled bumper, did the back plate and it looks fine.
I drove home from the dealer today with the front number plate resting on the dash on the passenger side :)
So it was up to me fit the front plate...
Hi all,
Just took mine for a shakedown and can confirm my Getrag grinds from 2nd to 3rd above 5000rpm. Once it loosens up a bit this may subside but for now the experience matches the reputation. Didn't go higher than 5500rpm, still early days.
My panel alignments were good, the dealer rep...
Just picked mine up, some happy snaps below. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet - got meetings all arvo.
The smoke issue is disconcerning, if I didn't know about it I'd be sh1tting myself that something was wrong.
Gave it a pull on the way home, hearing the tyres chirp going into 3rd is...
As a regular manual driver, when I jumped into my Stang one of the first things I did was check the weighting of the clutch. It's light but fely quite "springy" i.e. not linear on release. Reckon I'll go through a few bunny hop scenario's before I get used to it.
So I ended up going with NRMA.
Costing $2100/annum with all options ticked, sometimes wish I was over 55 :)
Surprisingly only $500/annum more expensive than the POS Honda I currently drive, however I was probably getting ripped off by Youi for that car.
Still cheaper than my Mrs, she's a had...
All good mate, tbh I hadn't checked it in that detail, trusted the process for ADR compliance.
Was happy just to see it in the flesh and sit in it (didn't ask for the key to start it up, d'oh!)
It still needs to be cleaned and prepped. I dropped by this arvo to hand over the Flow Brackets for...
Hi VapourBlueGT777,
It's a MY2024.5 spec, so compliance sticker isn't an issue.
Atlas Blue and Black Pack are not available on MY2025's either :rockon:
By a stroke of luck it was built about 2 weeks after the recall notice was issued and for some reason went through quarantine quickly - I'm...
Sydney Metro dealer in NSW, they'll need the rest of the week to prep it I reckon, which is fine cause I've got to settle the financing and get insurance while they're prepping it.
Then it's off to get PPF and coating for a week.
