Johnny G Team Grandpa Qualified Donating Members 809 Member For: 20y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane North. Posted 24/04/05 11:33 AM Share Posted 24/04/05 11:33 AM Yeah - thought I'd got away "ok" after my uninvited "edit" at the last service.Couple of weeks since then and just had a chance to a 500K round trip up the coast and back. It's gone to crap - all the good setup work with the CAPA piggy(which has gone V nicely since new) is now stuffed..... hestitation's with the cruise on going up hills, strange things happening on full power overtaking.... and so on. So - looks like the edit is on it's way. Wonder if CAPA are doing trade-in's for the old magic black boxes...?????ps - thankyou Ford Australia. Great work.

Posted 24/04/05 11:42 AM Share Posted 24/04/05 11:42 AM We obviously don't get the motoring section in Vic, cos we have the Herald Sun cars guide on Fridays, and seeing that both papers are from the smae publisher, we will probably get it this Friday.Can someone scan a copy of the article and post it? I am most interested to have a read of it.
