That can mean it's worth the drive for some people..EDIT: Or what tab said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Active are well known to Expensive Daewoo guys, dunno bout Ford people though. The Ford dealer they use for servicing and warranty is Titan Ford in Melville.I've asked a few questions regarding the KPM warrenty Ts and Cs and we'll see how we go.I'm aware of XFT but thought I'd look into this option.

They also cover frods warranty when ford dont because of the modifications. Allot of the stuff they sell was developed by herrod motorsport, exhausts, lowering kits etc. I think there are even ford dealerships out there that will fit their stuff for you. Dont quote me on all of this, as it's not from the horses mouth. But I'm pretty sure.Good luck with your plans Boganspeed. Please keep us all up to date with how you go and any loopholes that are in the warranty. I'm looking at lowering and stage 1 tuning from KPM myself.

The only thing I could find in Ford's warranty was mention of using the vehicle for purpose other than it was intended for would void warranty.So no trips to the strip then.Really, all I will get is Stage 1 tune which an X3 thingo, tune and filter for a claimed 350 flywheel kw's. So as long as I have confidence in Active Auto's ability to tune a falcon, then the warranty conditions are the only concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
