After I picked up my car I discovered the dealer accidentally fitted the Ford Tow Pack. The mix up stems from the fact that I did originally order the ford tow kit then changed my mind after my lease got approved. In any case the dealer has been kind enough to change it over for me.Turns out that they now have to remove the the entire tow setup as the Hayman Reece load levelers do not match up with the ford tow pack.Best surprise I had was this afternoon. My brother popped over for a quick spin and decided to check out my boot. Well bugger me but it was then I discovered a full size spare in my boot. Is the full size spare standard on the 50th Anniversary or did I just get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still the same or is there a difference between the two?Just curious.Cheers,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will hold stock boost fine though we haven't seen one with upped boost yet I think? It was pointed out that radiators have plastic end tanks and hold big pressure fine.

It was pointed out that radiators have plastic end tanks and hold big pressure fine.Thanks for the feedback SteveR,Any idea why they changed it on the 50th Ann. Even the inter cooler itself looks like more like a radiator with the fins across the centre.So no one at this stage has modded the 50th Ann?Just curious to find out at what stage the inter cooler would need to be replaced of you were to go in search of more power.Thanks again for your help.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
