Typical Ford 'quality'... intermediate shaft detaching from the rack
while driving sounds like fun. I'm surprised Ford didn't try to hide it
as a service rework or blame the customer this time. That's progress.

I don't remember MG having this issue :-)

The Ranger has a different fault...

"A sudden stop whilst driving at low speed and the rear brake lamps not
illuminating as intended, could increase the potential risk of an
accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road
users."

serious enough to fail ADR.
I haven.t heard Elon's response.

It looks like the real issue is at RMA Automotive, the company
contracted to do the RHD to LHD conversions.

Heritage, the MG was originally designed by Poms for the world market.

Toyota is doing the RHD to LHD conversion on the Tundra too but are not
rushing into it. The Ford experience is what they want to avoid I guess.

Just the other day, right outside the supermarket, I saw a car wedged
under the arse of a new Ranger. Certainly jacked up the rear suspension
on the Ranger! ;-)

I wonder if the rear brake lights were the cause of that little bingle?

electric vehicle sales are dropping, especially in cold countries like
Canada, where they basically just conk out, or won't start. also a
recent video I saw proves running costs are higher for eEV's, plus it
takes you longer to get anywhere due to charging times. unless you're
just using them in the suburbs and charging at home.

Really? I guess thats Toyota's way of doing things. Most imports to Aus
do a LHD to RHD conversion... Poor old shit-fer-brains does it again.. :-D

> conversion on the Tundra

Tundra's in Aus.. I saw that article. Poor Clocky will have a shit-fit
at all those big "monster bogan shit boxes". I hope they dont scrimp on
the wheel arches for the muddies, and leave room in between the round
LEDs on the roof rack for multiple lightbars mounted above the
windscreen. If not, never mind, it wont take long for the Toyota
fanboi's to improvise... FFS, there's already 3 Aus based Tundra groups
on Faecesbook.

Keep guessing, shit-fer. It's not like you know what you're dribbling
about...

Lol :)

Can't wait to see the criticism of the big monsta Toyotas flying thick
and fast :)

As usual the fucking mental case wouldn't know if you were up him until
you pulled out and let the cold air rush in. Ford doesn't do their own
RHD conversion on F series trucks. The conversions are handled by a
separate company, as they are for the Dodge Ram and Chev Silverado. The
steering shaft drop out is a pretty major fuck up, but at least they're
on it straight away and doing something about it.

If it were Toyota you'd have to take a class action against the cunts to
get them to even admit that there's an issue that needs to be addressed :)

You seem to have a lot of *experience* with that!

Yep, RMA Automotive. Pretty sure I mentioned that in my original post on
this topic.

Yup, above is what I wrote!

Pretty major? It's positively damn *disastrous*! That sort of screw up
*kills people*.

It's a bit hard to linger longer with a screw up like that. Only needs
one and there'll be recalls all round. At least it'll be the F150 bogans
driving around in trepidation instead of (as well as?) the general
public being confronted with the hulksters.

As I *intimated*, bit hard to hide something like that. Properly
operating steering, like brakes, are a bit, umm, *fundamental*! You
notice *instantly* when it's not happening for you.

Given the way that most of these idiotic things are driven they may as
well leave them as LHD.

This is noddy stupidity for you. he has ppl blocked so he only gets half
the story, but he comments anyway, so in many cases his comments are
irrelevant or superfluous.
