There's only 2 ppl that can fully diagnose the transit, one sits high up in the sky in his tower of ultimate power sporting the biggest blue oval in existence and the other lives high up a mountain in Nepal.

Best of luck with it :lol:

:lol: apart from on the motorway its done it the last 3 mornings when its first started
They did say I could leave it tonight and they would have another look in the morning to try and catch it out
But if it does it again I will leave it with them for a week or 2 when it goes back for its new horn
Its 3 on the 19th of September so they have until then to mend it :lol:

Maybe it's not as exciting to have to go back again...hence the limp

Got the engine warning light on the dashboard after only 1670 miles, no limp mode or anything else untoward, so contacted Ford only to be told Friday for inspection, and that it was a possible known fault on Customs from July 2016 on-,
Searched on the internet and found an Aussie site that suggested this trick, ignition on but not fired up, three presses on the accelerator pedal, then switch off and then fire up.
Worked a treat, went for a 35 mile blast and all good.
Won't contact Ford unless the problem comes back.
:idea: :lol: :roll:

If they ring you tho does that mean they'll be admitting that there's a problem? :lol:
