Re: Ford's 10sp auto

I'm thinking I could do with a second, or maybe even a third reverse gear too. Hopefully that'll be next. A lot of auto boxes have 2 reverse gears (Merc's 7 speed for example) :oops: i thought i was suggesting stoopidz. What is the second ratio for? Better mpg whilst cruising backwards? :?

Re: Ford's 10sp auto

Seems even Ford think there are too many gears - it is programmed to do bulk upshifts where it deems appropriate.

Ford's 10sp auto

The 2018 Mustang uses Ford's 10-speed auto.

Discuss.

Re: 2014 Fiesta issues

Engine earth loose would give you completely-dead in my experience.

Starter solenoid (or power to the main circuit) more likely.

Why not ask the auto engineer you spoke to if he could take a look?

Nice one! Looks great. I love that bit of string that's always stuck to glider canopies.
Helicopter I flew (R22) used the same. I also love that despite all the instruments - this is so effective. :D

Re: Utterly stupid

It's 'cos 8 is now busy doing other things, like "alright m8?", "see you l8r"etc.

In order that the number 8 isnt worn out prematurely, A has had to raise its game and step in as a numeric substitute. Yo.

Re: No F1 thread?

I hate forums with a million stickies, but one sticky at the top with links to the popular / ongoing threads like the years f1 thread and the tv and film ones might be worth having? 🤔 imo the most posted on topics should stay at the top. Simples. If there’s 10 F1/spotted/etc threads, then so be it....

Re: Your fleet running reports

Claying a car is very satisfying. I remember showing my dad and him refusing to believe I wasn’t cutting the paint - despite the suspicious lack of any polishing residue....
