hahahaha ok gotcha, cheers man

btw you got a good guide or tutorial on how to do the replacements? I've got more standard ones lying around from ages ago so I can do em tmoro. Do I need to take the front bumper off?

but the thing is I don't get how that handprint thing can effect the globes 9-10 months later...the reasoning doesn't make sense at all nope no issues like that man

lol okay right...well I didn't replace them myself, got that done by a mechanic soooooo...what should I do? Cause I'm just wondering should I go and provide them with two new lobes again or is it fuses which I've heard before or whatever

tf...?

Hey guys, Earlier this year when I bought my car not long after one of my front headlights went out and the other looked like it was weak as piss so I got them both replaced (the standard one, not any special brand - forgot the name but you know what I mean). Tonight, after maybe driving 5000kms since then, I realised one of my headlights is completely dead again. How is that possible? Can confirm I definitely haven't left them on overnight or anything like that to overuse it etc. With lockdowns too, it's barely done any miles since putting two new globes in.

Old thread I know, but I got the same model this year and I've found this issue persistently. I don't have warrenty, what do I have to do to get this fixed? It's so bloody annoying.

yeah there you go, good place if your servicing a high performance car and want quality without caring about price.

yeah well I mean I hear that about him, but it's not like he looks at all the cars. Mine wasn't looked at by him yet it still copped this enormous fee for very little

nah people should know I guess - autotech engineering in clyde

awesome thanks for letting me know it's a good deal, felt he was genuine but you can never know. When I just got the car two months ago I thought I'd be safe and go get the ZF serviced since it's done 105ks. Supplied my own fluids for the ZF, the genuine one, and I ended up paying nearly $700 to get that serviced, headlight globes replaced as they are hard to do (supplied the globes myself) and had them look at the rest of the car but do nothing else to it. That was a very reputable place in Sydney too, I got pissed off at that but not sure if that cost was right.

yes, he's doing it everything, parts and labour

ah ok fair I got quoted $1k. Not too bad then.

what do you guys think a fair cost for all this would be?

thanks mate, I just might have to. Did you see my update?

hey guys! so dropped it off earlier today. Guy told me it was the ignition coil for one of the cylinders. Said he'll change all of em plus the spark plugs, and do service on the engine + fuel filter and brake fluids need to be changed. Will get it back tomorrow

yeah okay fair...I'll get it checked on Monday. I think it could be the o2 sensors, I was having really bad fuel economy as well - 17.7l but its dropped down to 15.8 since owning maybe the ZF service helped it not sure.

not trying to argue with someone who's helping but I've seen some vague questions here get answered pretty detailed. I wrote an essay in clear English lol but ok

the description of the cars response though? how about the fact that I noticed when I put my foot on the gas off the line, it feels like I need to press it in more, causing me to go off slower as I'm use to gently applying the gas and the car going. Could this relate?

ok I won't...any idea on what I might be facing though?

no nothing man, just an average joe Ford driver. It's an NA btw

I don't have a scanner man, not sure if I should drive or tow it to a mechanic either

Hi guys, Really freaking out and frankly pissed. New car I bought 2 months ago, barely drove 1000km this whole time and the car has 106000kms on it. A few days I was driving and I gave it a light hit to 70-80 and it felt really odd like it almost didnt wanna push more. Later I did it again and it felt fine. Just then tonight, left my house, warmed up the car a few mins too before I drove off. Lightly drove for a few minutes then I decided to give it a hit when I was driving 50 to get to 80 and it felt weird again. This time, the engine light came on and it was yellow, it went away a minute later. The car felt weird, like a weird dying vibration almost, so I pulled around and came home really slowly as the car felt weird. It also felt really heavy in the steering. Get home, the bloody hood keeps dropping on my head, I think it's cause I'm parked on a slope downhill but what a joke that is seriously. I did manage to have a look in this rain after stopping for 5 mins and the oil looked fine. Golden colour and was quite high on the dip stick. Any ideas what it could be? When I went to the mechanic a month ago to get the ZF serviced as the owner hadn't done it, they checked the car and did say the engine was seeping oil, which apparently is on the low end of worries in terms of oil coming out. Can't really see anything on the street I'm parked on underneath usually either. But I'm assuming that's not the issue as there was oil in the car. Super worried, also worried I can't drive the car to a mechanic in this state and I might have to tow it. The guy before had done all the services every 15k so it looked good on paper and seemed genuine. This sucks 😞 Any help would be appreciated.

Haha thanks for posting it. Yeah I thought it might be the CD thing but there is none in there and I don't know why that noise would appear randomly if I got music off or if I'm playing music via bluetooth etc.

Hey Keith, see the PM I sent you of the video showing the noise. Hope you can recognise it
