  • Satisfaction with our Fords

    Hello, as an avid reader and proud new owner of a Tourneo custom I get at least three posts every day here from the forum, which deals with some flaws and failures. Are there actually also satisfied buyers of such a car. I know… You only get in touch with problems. But it would be nice to read positive things. Have already concerns to have made a mistake when I read this here so… Actually I am highly satisfied with the venture n. He’s been having fun and failures I haven’t had…

  • No braking effect

    Hello! Had the great pleasure today to make a full braking, because otherwise someone would have driven me in at the turn. I drive by the way an Escort Kombi 1.8 TD with 90 hp, year 98. The braking effect was already very strange lately, because I had the feeling when braking more strongly as if the floor covering on which I braked was “unben”. Such a “vibrating” braking was that… Anyway, after the complete braking I drove still without braking problems 100 km and then left the motorway nter. At the abrasing there was suddenly a “blow” from the front and I had at once almost no braking effect anymore (it only grinds still). When driving there is now a loud metallic clack from the front. To thank you it is from the descent home only 1.5 km, which I have covered at snail speed. Now it is already too dark to take off the front tyres to see what it is and where it comes from. Has someone ever had similar experiences or has an idea what kapu could be tt?

  • Problems with the front sign MK7

    Good day, I have a problem with my license plate in front. After laying down the license plate further down and have it torn down now already 3 times… Now I have a question you can put that somehow higher ? Or give there other tips ? E.g. These license plates to stick on or something ? Or could I also get a MK5 or MK6 bumper on the scrap and hit it ? For many tips I would be very grateful Mfg Kevin

  • Mobile phone holder for Tourneo Custom 2018 FL

    Since mobile phone holders are in short supply for the new amature board, I have designed a holder for the ventilation grilles above the switch lever and printed 3D. The block is only plugged onto the fan blades and stops without shaking. When operating the hand bale you can support it very comfortably on the switch lever. The insert for the phone is for an iPhone X/XS with leather case. But it is only glued to the ventilation grill fixture, you could also use another phone holder. If interest exists I upload the STL files in thiniverse.com.

  • Conversion to LPG

    Hello, I have a C-Max 1.8 l, 120 hp, 03/04. Does anyone have experience with liquefied gas? You could then refuel for 56 cents. It should give me silver valve covers at Ford engines and with black ones and these would not be so well suited for gas, that must be related to the valves because gas does not lubricate as well as gasoline or the combustion is hotter. I would be grateful for Enlightenment. Gerhard11

  • Ford Escort suspension

    So here’s a completely different question for everyone who likes your Essi and is also going on vacation. I was with my whole family on holiday. Unfortunately, it’s now that the car with 5 people, roof case and full trunk did not have enough ground clearance. With the traffic-free roads came then and when the nice elevations. And the car sat up several times now. Well, what I really want is the following: Lower everyone can. I like the same thing. e have the car stable and a little higher. But no matter where I was it was Ford, TÜV and many other workshops, which did not know any further. Always the same stupid statement: “You can put it deeper!!!” As far as I remember, earlier between pieces were installed up and down as a distance extension. So the car automatically came a little higher. Unfortunately, the TÜV does not allow the U-iron. Does someone know about it? I need about the original condition another 3 Only to the skeptics… the car was not overloaded… and the dampers or feathers are not gone. For real and good advice I am always open.

  • FFB no longer closes the car

    Hello, I noticed today that I can no longer lock the car with my FFB. If I want to lock with the key and then open with a button, only the passenger door opens, but then closes directly again. Driver door does not open at all then. The FFB was retrofitted by the previous owner because the locks do not work properly. Now I have the salad. Ohso, if I want to close by a button, it clicks in the ZV pump and the turn signals also glow, more But also not. What can this be about and what can I do???Unfortunately, there is no description of the FFB. Hope you can at least help me here! Car is an MK5 convertible Bj. 92 1.8l 16V Gruss Sebastian
