It was ok in general for off-roading, but nowhere near as capable as a defender. No locking diff, just high range and low range box. Off-roading is a lot to do with the tyres that are on the car at the time, and the Continental CrossContact were actually very good on grass and mud. Never had it on any 'proper' terrain or I would have had BFGs on it anyway.聽 Just classic Ford unreliable electronics! FoMoCo garbage. Hence why I don't have it any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 How long should s set of brake pads last?聽 I've been doing oil change and tyres on the car myself the past four years,聽 I've not ever touched the brakes in five years; when I had EBC greenstuff pads and cross drilled discs fitted that was five years ago. And around 120,000km ago.聽 Well today I heard some serious grinding when i pressed the brakes and it took two car lengths to stop after i jammed on the brakes; I could hear and feel the ABS but it's gone in to the garage to have the brakes done,聽 Car now has 327,000km I have it since new in 2010 and I can only remember changing the pads three times and the discs once as I wanted the cross drilled fitted. Not bad going atall; its also a 1.6TDCi on the factory turbo 馃憤 I'm expecting to require a new caliper and discs tomorrow 馃槀 not sure what its using to slow the car down these days; worst result of upgrading the sound system to full JL Audio C3 650's with amplifier #TurnDownForWhat聽 I get in the car; turn on spotify and turn it up to the point that I cant even hear the engine; so the brakes could have been grinding for quite some time.聽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAIDER32 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I like YouTube for helping me fix聽yet another problem, My LG G4聽phone started turning itself on randomly and battery draining twice as fast, even on the spare battery and a clean reset it was the same. A quick search and I found others with the same issue, the double-tap聽to wake feature was the cause, possibly聽a faulty sensor. BUT, on a previous OS update聽that聽simple option to turn that feature off was removed, but a YouTube video showed how to get around that problem. Downloaded an App called Activity Launcher, that list every feature running, you can then create a shortcut to anything and turn it On/Off. battery life is like new now, and these batteries are a few years old, My girlfriend's phone battery doesn't last as long now, so I was looking at buying us both a Google Pixel 3a, I won't have to just yet now, maybe I'll look at the Google Pixel 4a around Xmas instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turvey Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I do like getting a phonecall from work today! Looks like I'll be able to go back hopefully by the end of the week! Due to having MS I'm classed as being in the vulnerable group along with folk with diabetes. I've had 6 different documents emailed to me regarding Risk Assessments etc and new procedures in place. It's going to take a wee bit of getting used to but I'm starting to get a bit too used to being at home! 馃槼 Getting a 'Return To Work' interview over the phone tomorrow morning, it'll probably be a phased return as I've been off for so long but anything will be welcome 馃憤 just need to remember how to drive my truck now 馃槂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
