ok, so this is crazy, my trip is on again off again ....
First Ford entered my kitty into their system as a Focus ??? Now I get the invoice and its been changed to Mondeo, lol... I got me an error code that they couldn't work out what it is... So I guess I'll have a look around, I'm sure i seen a list around somewhere. Here's hoping she makes it to the gold coast... come to think of it, I hope she makes it home too, lol

ok I got my code - P1709 Park or Neutral Position (PNP) switch is not indicating neutral during KOEO Self-Test ... LOL now what, I have no idea where to go with this one, I've just made my 1st ever post on newcougar.org =)
Is it normal for her to chime 6 times every time I turn the key? And to the manual drivers, can u start in gear? or do you have to be in neutral? I hav a manual, its strange to get this code I think ... Maybe its a switch in the clutch or some thing... Any ideas guys????? RicK

If you are going to buy new tyres I just got 4 x BFG at Tyreplus for $175.00 each - fitted and recommend them.
