Re: 2007 radio fault
First problem. Removing the radio , get the radio out and you will see EXACTLY the type of radio you will need to replace it. Different radios, have different sockets !!!! Second problem. Only a Probe aerial has the right connectors and unless you know what you are doing..............good luck. Are ...

Re: 2007 radio fault
Unfortunately, that confirms what I have noticed , it is the aerial that kills a really good radio. It will be the aerial control circuit component failure that needs repairing , the radio side will be fine. Finding a gifted amateur ,or professional to repair it.......................good luck. Make...

Re: 2007 radio fault
Question.
Were you having any problems with the aerial either not fully retracting or extending , before this occurred ?

Re: Erratic idle speed 2.5 v6. Please help!
Well done , one last little thing to check , though you have probably done it ! Look at the tiny ball-race that runs through the curved slot off the throttle quadrant plate. Make sure it is turning freely as you get someone to slowly press the accelerator pedal (engine not running ) to the floor. Re...

Absolutely go with that.
So much water dissolved in ethanol used in cheap petrol these days, it's a wonder anything works.

Re: Erratic idle speed 2.5 v6. Please help!
Double check that absolutely every little black pipe is connected up to a fitting , especially round the back of the air filter box. When you have it all back running as it should , then 'play around' taking one pipe off at a time . You will see what the effect of a 'missing' pipe has on engine runn...

Re: Erratic idle speed 2.5 v6. Please help!
Most IMPORTANT , get yourself a small tube of Silicone grease.
Use it to smear the surfaces of the filler cap AND the rubber washer in the cap.
Ignore this advice , tear the rubber washer and you have big problems.

Re: A few Issues
That was he good news. The next few items will happen, nothing to worry about , just be prepared. IF new front springs haven't been fitted already , they will break. Easy to change , not too expensive. IF the immobiliser hasn't been touched then best to 'modify' as soon as possible. Next birthday/Xm...

Re: A few Issues
You have bought a winner there , well done. That rear caliper will need replacing but not an expensive or difficult job. Make sure the antifreeze is the right stuff , hate to say it but the Ford stuff is best , buy on ebay though. DO NOT WORRY about changing cambelt , even if it hasn't been changed....
