Updated sync1.1 after downloading from Ford uk and tweaked it as it could not find installation file.Usual rubbish from ford.Any thing i have found is that there are more phone interactions.Gone from 5.10 to 5.11.
From new i have never been able to use the aplink,just says needs updating.
Battery is knackered as usual for a 2017 model.

Does updating sync let you see tracks when playing music off the phone ?

It ain't perfect but it'll do, found some wheel silver in the garage and some lacquer but the gamble paid off, thoroughly cleaned and sanded and painted and lacquered, the first image is the wheel untouched, I didn't take a photo of it rubbed down but it looked shocking and the rust veins :shock:.
It's not perfect without using a disk of some kind but a sanding block and water and some brake cleaner and a hair dryer seems to have done the trick. :P

F U Ford. 8)

Just hope I don't go in the garage in the morning and am greeted with an orgres scrotum :shock: :lol:

Made a start repairing a load of stone chips all over the front of the van. I can't believe how thin the paint is :shock:, it's almost like Ford have mastered paint application on the atomic level.
Some people are like slinkies.... not good for much but bring a smile to your face when you push them downstairs.
