    Sky Q in different Room

    They're not billing you £12 per month for the multi room, as said above by others, you buy the hardware, the service is free. The £12 a month is for the upgrade to Sky Q itself.

    RS - Feel the Need

    They genuinely have little awareness of my YT expolits...but they've been seeing me regularly for Fiesta, C-Max, and RS work over the last two years. I'm calm, polite, and much as you may not believe this, to the point about what I want and expect. They're just acting in the way that anyone...

    RS - Feel the Need

    Useful! Thanks Dan. REV1...that's a generic term or something specific to Ford? It's now 2,876. Madness, it just keeps ticking upwards...my first "engine's gone" video is nudging 75k views as well. I feel a good few trackdays are coming next year off the back of all this! #viral #legend

    RS - Feel the Need

    In other news, my engine arrived at the dealership yesterday 3 days ahead of schedule, it looks like you may be right @imprezaworks :laughing: They called me to advise and also answered some of my questions. I said those answers weren't good enough, try again. They're going back to Ford and...

    I've given no thought to this whatsoever...it's not even occurred to me to ask. If I got the warranty extended that would be something I guess...but as I still have 4.5 years remaining of my original warranty that would be of little value or comfort as if it were to all go wrong again it'll do...

    RS - Feel the Need

    More and more are crawling out of the woodwork now. There's quite a few on their third engine! I've been told by ore than a few Ford people that the issue is definitely fixed now although not one of them can tell me how. When I know and understand that I'll maybe start believing it. Until then...

    It is exactly that, the RWD sense and the fact you can adjust the attitude of the car exiting a corner using the throttle. I've been thinking about rigging up a permanent datalogger for the new one so that I can see how well I stick to the 5k rpm/75% throttle run-in limits and also what...

    I spent last night watching FK8 Type R reviews :mask: I'll see what the dealership say this week...if they don't or won't or can't tell me how the new engine is different and how it has been changed to avoid the specific failure I suffered I may look to reject the car based on the six month...

    The Mustang unit certainly doesn't seem to have the distortion problem of the RS. The change of materials and redesign seem to have screwed everything right up for the RS.

    If I knew everything I'm now aware of before I ordered, I wouldn't have ordered. It's a major problem with no easy fix from Ford as far as I can see.

    I've had a lot of time to think about this over the last week in the slow-ass Kuga and, genuinely, I think they could...every single one of them.

    Ignoring my recent blip over the last week, over the 28 day period before that I had 35k views and earned £40. Over that same period he's had 9.3m views. That's circa £11k pcm. And in the whole scheme of things his channel, with 1m subscribers, is small fry. Zoella has 12x as many subscribers...

    Ps3’s‘Not As Good As The Hype?’

    They do! I had a set sat in my shed for ages back when I had my 172 Cup and was shocked when I pushed my thumb into the sidewall...disposable carrier bags have more substance in them!

    Ps3’s‘Not As Good As The Hype?’

    Roundabouts and being slightly under presure? On every car I've ever had (except my wife's for the obvious reasons) which up until the RS have all been FWD I've always worn the front left quickest and particularly the outside edge way more than on the front right.

    I've no idea, my 'channel' (I hate calling it that!) just sort of happened! In the beginning (my first upload was November 2006) all I ever wanted to do was share track exploits. Then when I had my ST I started thinking about things I personally would like to watch/see...like how to change brake...

    I have a browser add on that helps me manage my YT activities and it shows me info you don't normally get to see...like keywords used on other videos (so you can pinch the most successful ones) and also what the earnings are. Some of the bigger ones quite comfortably earn six figures per...

    Yeah, this one has gone slightly mental. Far more than I was expecting/hoping. How much earned? Pennies really. Before this I earned £20-£30 a month (not even enough to cover the fuel I burn when I film LOL). This latest one though has pushed my earnings up to about £8 a day...so I've almost...

    Ahem, 8,500 miles. Pay attention at the back.

    RS - Feel the Need

    I'm saying that the failure rate is higher than that, potentially much higher. The trouble is that unless the car goes through regular and full heat cycles, which the low mileage cars generally don't, it will never show the head distortion as it cools down. Low mile cars may well appear to be...

    If I do end up on this merry-go-round once again after this time then that's definitely something I'll be looking for. Before that though I don't think it's unreasonable to expect answers from Ford explaining the failure and what they've done to ensure the engine I've been given isn't also a...

    RS - Feel the Need

    Exactly this. The thought of demanding a replacement car never even occurred to me...give me a new engine that's fixed and I'll be happy. If it fails, give me another one. And another. And another. They have to fix it eventually surely...and hopefully that'll happen before my 5yr/100k mile...

    I've no idea yet...that'll follow at some point. It is f***ing with my head though. This is what I'm hoping. Especially a one owner standard car that's been documented far more than anyone would ever want to know.

    I did. all of them, several times all the way through. Yes it did seem rushed...very apparent I think from the fact that at the global launch the car they had Ken Block yo drifting about in was wrapped in camo and sporting a front bumper from what looked to be a Focus Titanium. I'v never...

    Keep a close eye on it and listen closely at every start! If it stutters like mine did it's firmly on its way. The basic engine assembly part no. 1916186 costs £4.5k but labour and all the other odds and sods increase the total final bill to a shade under £5,750. The gasket and coolant...

    This is what I thought but many many people have told me/said that it will include both the turbo and the clutch. I am indeed. Not the 3x 10hr days I spent back in in May though. No need, I've bonded with this car already, I'm going to enjoy taking my time this time around. We will see...
