Was it the same guy who had a RB 182 and did a little spell on EVO mag @Feirny ?
Yeah that’s him mate.

Crikey, that's not many miles. Hope everything is sorted to your satisfaction.It’s just ticked over 5k miles.
Build time was around December 16 roughly.

What does your profession have to do with anything? Were you asking some technical questions or something?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 me but they obliged and said I would get a call so let’s wait and see.

Mark did you car start to loose the pops and bangs whilst changing gear as it was beginning to fail?
Nope. Apart from the misfire on startup and the dwindling coolant level it performed exactly as it always did. Popped and banged when I'd expect it to, used as much fuel as it normally did, and traced the same curve at the rolling road. As I said in my video I think the 'problem' is only a problem as and when the engine cools down, at all other times it works just as it should.
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
So, yeah, it's back after a super speedy turnaround from Ford...
Hmm did you get any technical data on the updates?
I.e. different turbo etc etc
Good luck with the new engine really hope everything works out with this, such a horrible feeling having to hand over your investment to someone you've never met.
It’s a shame this has happened but I’m happy it happened to you and I don’t mean that in a horrible way.
I like the way your taking us all on the journey and documenting what’s going on and how dealerships sort these issues. Normally you just read a rant on a forum and we don’t get the full picture.
Keep up the videos.
It's probably made you a good chunk of additional viewers and subs tbh!
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!
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
Not sure if they'd fit over the brembo's?https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/272935884955
I don’t know the fitment of your car but I’ve just seen these... they would look immense.
Was that video like sped up at all? Something about it seemed really jittery!
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 I’m wondering if it’s the same for yourself and myself here?

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 other news, annoyingly, I'm starting to lean heavily towards FPM375. At some point in the future. Maybe.
lol! New engine, might as well go for it. Although might want to think it through a bit more, these cars are clearly very highly strung already.
400bhp or go home :tongueout:
Voids the warranty.
The M400 is potentially becoming warranty approved next spring.
Best to wait until that`s official then.

Ha I knew you would crack eventually
