My ankle is on a sharp angle when I apply the brakes and almost slips of the pedal, the only way to straighten my foot on the pedal is to straighten my whole leg but then my knee hits the keys and I have even managed to accidentally turn the engine off once. I have tried everything to get a good seating position so my feet press the pedal/s properly but just cant. So does anyone know if I can get power adjustable pedals installed since I didnt order them when I signed up to buy the car? I'm hoping that this could help the problem. I think the brake pedal is way oversized aswell which means my foot touches the pedal in the cup of my foot instead of more towards the toes.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford can supply the unit (motor and switch from memory) but it was expensive. My advice.. give ford spare parts a call or see if you can source one from a wreck.

meyek3 Member 20 Member For: 21y 3m 15d Location: Adelaide Posted 08/03/06 04:41 PM Author Share Posted 08/03/06 04:41 PM Well my seating position is fairly close to the wheel (about half way between fully back and fully forward as I hate having my arms outstretched from the steering wheel. And the seat is at its lowest position. The steering wheel is fully extended towards myself and the wheel is at its highest level. Seems the steering column plastics in the BA onwards have gotten bulkier and the ignition barrel is lower then before giving less room for taller people's legs. JeremyOn another subject does anyone else have loud clunks in their power windows especially at the front when the windows get to the bottom? Have had my windows repaired twice now to no avail, seems some foam block keeps falling out allowing metal to metal or something.Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
