The FL2 doesn't normally present a lot of turbo noise, so it might be worth checking:
A search will provide further information on both issues. |

Hi, I also have just joined. I have been driving a Mondeo Mk3 estate for ten years and am reluctantly passing it on in immaculate condition in order to get a high ride and 4WD. I've shaken hands on an XS and it's due this coming week, so I'm glad I found this club as I expect the FL is not going to be as reliable as my old Mondeo I was going to leave the Tom Tom 700 with the Ford but now I think I'll remove it! |

@bxzx16v . My experiences with TomTom are very different. I now have an 850M [lifetime maps]. Every year we drive from the floodplains [NL] to the Algarvian beaches. We're bound to pass Paris. Well Paris has so many levels of roads and turns so near the TomTom gets lost, also because it looses view of the sats due the tall buildings. On july 5th I already had a bad feeling. Drove over Reims [avoiding Lille], and wanted to head for Troyes. But TT said the route over Paris was 1½h faster.

Best time to be in Paris is 14 July, traffic & parking is a piece of cake!

Designed under Fords Ownership of LR, using a Ford derived platform, A Ford-PSA Diesel engine , and various bits all over it pulled straight from the FoMoCo bits bins. I changed the front discs and pads last week. Guess what was cast into the caliper ? Of course it's Ford : So basically a posh Transit engine and transmission biased to front wheel drive and clever bits of electronic wizardry to use the back two to a lesser degree most of the time and then tailor them to difficult conditions when necessary. Built at a Ford owned plant which changed ownership in 2008 , but still the same truck, So there you go no reason it should be less reliable for wearing a Green Oval Badge rather than Blue. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership 2016 Subaru Outback SE 2.0 diesel SE Premium Lineartronic Sold 2024 after 8 years and 80k miles . Best Car I ever owned ! 2023 Toyota Hilux invincible X 2.8 Auto . |

And of course if one is worried about that green oval you could change it to the blue one and drive a Ford Kuga, which is a Freelander in a different suit. DAVE. |
