well if this experience is anything to go by DONT DO IT heres why :
Lady whom frequents my wifes work (petrol station) has an XR5T as a fleet car, it is hers for full use and has company signage enblazoned on it - anyway she got stuck at night as the XR5 wouldn't crank (flat battery) so she had a good Samaritan jump start the car, this is where the story gets a little sketchy but the car spent 4 weeks at the Ford dealership with them trying to fix the car, I suspect it has blown the brains out of the ECU the dealer did get it going again but by her own admission the cars just not the same anymore and she is gutted, but takes heart in the fact she only has it for another 5,000 before it gets swapped for a new car again, I am posting this here to make other owners aware of the possible consequences of jump starting an XR5
