Re: Early Probe immobiliser issues
Bob, in 1994 Ford introduced their repair for life for free scheme , those dissy repairs should not have cost you a penny. Was that the case ? Hi John. It most certainly was not.

Re: Early Probe immobiliser issues
I bought M939FDF from new in 1994 with 81 miles on the clock. I had it for 14 years and did 285k miles, less 81 miles in it. I believe that to be a record mileage.

Only problem is that its a bit vicious so you have to wash it off very thoroughly. I cant remember where I bought it or what it was called, but I also bough...

Re: What's This?!?!
Now Bob, if I knew that, they would no longer be mysteries 🤣 You have made a salient point Trev, so how do you know there are seven? Because there is always 7, they just didn’t know about this 8th wonder 🤔🤣 Well excuse me for being pedantic Trev, but if you don't know how many mysteries there are, ...

Re: Parking sensors.
