Default insane in the membrane

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?????

:(

ticket.... not happy jan

and she's having trouble, loud *** noise coming from under the hood n' the air con stopped working, think my compressor pooped itself.

other than that the holiday was FREAKING SWEET !

but now cos of this noise i can't buy her new shoes at tempe tyres

hey, is it just me or are speeding tickets really cheap up here, 15 k's over and only $81 .... my last ticket in victoria was like $400 (but that was a little more than 15 k's over... )

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