You want pictures...? It's going to be interesting to see if this recall is for every single car?! If it is that, to me, suggests it was a Ford thing and not a flaky supply chain at fault. Ouch.

This is why I went for the Pixel. Mine was barely lasting a day after two years of moderate use. I'm off this morning to sell it...Game stores are giving £180 cash for them...that'll do.

Would you like a car that steered for you? Braked? Accelerated? An autonomous Clio RS... How much of a thrill to drive would that be?

It is if you genuinely get enjoyment from shifting gears, using a clutch, and rev matching yourself. To me it is an integral part of driving, as much as pressing the brake, the throttle, or steering is to people who enjoy pulling paddles or pressing buttons. I can see how having a car do that...

May I ask why?

It has an auto box with no manual option. That's why I justifiably slate it without having driven one.

...and make videos about them as well! :blush:

From what I can see here it looks like I have the latest gasket on my replacement November built engine. That suggests and supports the internet rumours that August onwards engines are all good...

I picked up a Pixel 2 XL at the weekend...I'm liking it so far, they've taken the 6P I had before and basically fixed every single thing wrong with it...and then made it better, a lot better, the camera and video is incredible. Annoyingly it has made my wife want an iPhone X...she's very...

Yep. We're expecting something to be officially 'released' soon...exactly what it entails for everyone is still far from certain though...no one really wants to have their RS' engine dismantled! I think most would rather have a complete replacement.

This is the ONLY thing they needed to do. If they had done I would have bought one instead of a Fiesta ST. I almost did, even with the EDC 'box, but just couldn't convince myself to do it.

It will have taken them a while to determine what was causing it, a while to understand how and why it happened, and a good while to get the party at fault to accept that they have to fund this entire mess, then a further while to be happy that they're genuinely doing the right thing...

I'm expecting it to be. The recent information suggests with quite clear evidence that looks to confirm that it really was as simple a f*** up as the wrong parts being labelled/sent/fitted with end result being a gasket specifically designed for the Mustang 2.3 fitted, in error, to the RS 2.3...

The thing is, rejection is not an option, at all. If it failed within the first thirty days of ownership, absolutely it is, but at six months? I have to give them a chance to fix it, to remedy the fault...so I have, and they have. If it were to fail again, that's where it could start to get a...

I know I'm asking for the moon on a stick and I'll probably never get it. I certainly don't need it, I'm happy where I am right now and still adore the RS. But it's fun to keep chipping away and if I ever did get anything from Ford it would be actual real internet gold.

Nah, I love this thing. It'll take a lot more to make me lose faith in it. I'm sure it's fixed for good now...I just wish I could get Ford to admit something although that is highly unlikely. I doubt it! I was sat in traffic when I did it...and had no intention at all of actually launching...

In other news my run-in is slowly progressing...and a small issue has surfaced, briefly...

It made me chuckle a little...I wonder if some festive cheer was behind his passionate posts! This is pure speculation based on a forum figure (which is hardly all encompassing) and a finger in the air figure of total cars sold. A straw poll of FRSOC suggests it's at least 5%. For a non safety...

Here's an intersting take on the problem...and some links to information I've not seen before with a lot more detail on how/why something as simple as one hole on a Mustang gasket that the RS engine doesn't want/need can cause the RS engine to warp itself into oblivion...

Nice. I've grown to really appreciate these. A mate has the 440 and he's now got the M performance exhaust on it...sounds immense. I should be getting a good go in it soon. For a slush 'box it's incedible. Pictures? Rotating your phone 90 degrees before shooting will do actual wonders.

If it was metallic and they kept the blue calipers I genuinely would have found it hard not to order one. As it is though, and even considering the exclusivity of it...no ta.

If it's properly fixed, as I believe it is, then it'll still have full Ford warranty. I'm not like so many others worrying about if it's going to start leaking again, I'm just enjoying driving it, a lot. If it does happen again, Ford will deal with it again. Grr, I'm starting to convince myself.

Not at all...I'm not sure why it would appear so. My case has progressed with Ford CRC, I'm getting a call back from them on Monday...I'll be asking for everything. Mmmmm. If only. I've sworn to myself not to buy more wheels, from past experience, it's the top of a very slippery slope. In...

The early part of those 90 day charts above, where all the lines are really low...that was earning me £20-£30 per month. Since the beginning of this engine failure episode I've been averaging £20-£30 a day LOL

Nothing as yet. I still haven't yet called Ford CRC to ask what I'm going to get from them to support and document the change on my now non-original RS. I've seen today something technical from Ford on a 'cross drilled' something or other on the engine that looks like it's going to be rolled...

So, yeah, it's back after a super speedy turnaround from Ford...

I did convince myself that mine wasn't running quite right, I was convinced I'd see something different between the before and after dyno power runs that would back that thought up. When that showed no such thing I looked through all of my fuel logs looking for something but again found...
