    Chester Contingent?

    There is still a following, the Reps from Chester itself have moved onto other cars/ become less available but others have carried on but they aren’t living in Chester itself.

    Cambelt/ water pump/ pulley £1k?!

    Ye that’s dealer expensive, I would give Birchdown or your local specialist that’s on here a call instead.

    Sad times.

    Nah surely not, order your dream car then sell it for a small profit in the grand scheme of things? And good stuff, the Landy and the bike are 2 things a Porsche can’t compete with in what they do! But why keep a boxster when you are getting a 911?

    Why would you sell it straight away? Have you sold/ selling your bike too?

    Sad times.

    It’s a shame you sold it tbh, it was one of the better ones out there! But there are other cars that need trying out so always worth a switch around at some point!

    The 'Where's my old Clio' Thread.

    I wonder what FY54 ZFM is doing now days. Sold it 2.5 years ago in Cornwall. It was up for sale for ages at mega bucks price, then it didn’t sell and it got moved on. Someone from here messaged me about it and he couldn’t knock the guy down enough to buy it so left it.

    Did they give you any technical details in the revised items on the new engines Mark?

    Liquid blue was the release colour, but they didn’t release it to general public! They should have made the LTD one either Matt black like the previous RS500 or this colour with at least 400hp, and build number plaque inside (which current one don’t have) For me that’s ltd edition not an off...

    I think if it was a deep metallic red then yes it would be fine, but it’s not it looks a little sun washed when brand new lol.

    What metallic red? With blue callipers? No sorry it will not match my teenage trainers in that colour!

    Is your ST the race red? People complained in the UK of the red mixed with the blue callipers, so they got rid of them and left them silver for the UK. The red imo doesn’t look good, it just looks a bit tacky because it doesn’t match into the Blue RS badge etc.

    It doesn’t look right imo but it’s also the only colour they have produced in small numbers. Should have made the LTD one green or liquid blue imo.

    All the editions received the revised engine, so should be fine. As for the car itself, I think it’s a little pointless calling them LTD edition as the blue ones look normal, there isn’t even a plaque inside to tell you it’s an edition.

    Hmm odd, glad your cars back and holding fluids well! Be good to see a comparison soon on the engine out put too once run in. As for cross drilling that may either be an error in terminology (which I do suspect in this situation) or they have had misalignment when drilling a section of round...

    Well I’m looking at the dreamscience system when it’s fixed again lol. It leaves no trace and has 3 maps to choose from, highest output is about 385-390bhp with no hardware required.

    The M400 is potentially becoming warranty approved next spring.

    RS - Feel the Need

    Mark could you do us a favour if possible? When you get the engineering report for the failed engine make sure you ask for some pictures, especially of the section on the head gasket that sits between cylinder 2 and 3 and also 3 and 4. I have just spotted something common on a US group and...

    Lol my first ever YouTube video, straight off the phone whilst the car was working a few weeks ago!

    f**k me! You made £300 from talking about how ford produced an engine that fails and then followed the process up! Where’s my go-pro! I want some light at the end of this shitty tunnel!

    RS - Feel the Need

    Hmm did you get any technical data on the updates? I.e. different turbo etc etc
  21. Dan

    RS - Feel the Need

    Hmm, mine seems down on power and sluggish and the pops and bangs seem to be happening less and less now. It’s not like it’s a fuel problem either as I’m using the same fuel from the same garage as always

    I don’t know, maybe the person was just curious but it beats me. And ye basically a question that was too technical for the person on the phone lol

    Mark did you car start to loose the pops and bangs whilst changing gear as it was beginning to fail?

    RS - Feel the Need

    So far they have taken it very seriously. Apart from the long date for it being booked in (partially my fault for being busy) they have agreed to everything I asked. They did ask about my profession when I stated a few things to which they then notified only an engineer would be able to help...

    It’s just ticked over 5k miles. Build time was around December 16 roughly.

    Well Mark, mine potentially on the way as well! Coolant being lost etc. Time for a call to ford then!

    Old for new but the new has multiple revisions. I must admit mark, I would like to see a R&R readout from the “revised engine”. Something says to me there is a potential loss in power lingering to help with preservation!

    It depends on the source. https://www.whatcar.com/news/the-most-stolen-cars-in-the-uk-4/ MSN and one other has the same, a different one on its own put the S3 at the top.
