Fake news?

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

Hi Shane, how frustrating that must be. At least at the end of this you will have a new engine in the car. Hope this don’t put you off rs ownership, they are such a wonderful car. If I was going through your experience it would give me sleepless nights that’s for sure. Hope you get it back very soon
