Ford Taking no Prisoners!

      Just noticed that Ford have increased the AP on my AWESOME Ford Kuga 1.5 ST line by a whopping £500 this quarter (£1250 to £1750).

      Whilst on the subject of my Kuga there are still one or two things that i’m still struggling with.

      1) After many hours of trying i still haven’t worked out how to store favourite radio stations.

      2) More often than not gear changes remain infuriatingly jerky.

      3) There’s also a scary amount of ‘lean’ going on when navigating roundabouts.

      4)  All round visibility could be better particularly in relation to the very large pillars each side of the windscreen.

      Overall the pro’s still outweigh the negatives in my opinion though.

      1) It’s really comfy!

      2) Roundabouts aside, its silky smooth in a straight line.

      3) The 1.5l ICE engine can be surprisingly perky.

      4) Fuel consumption is great. According to the on-screen display i’m averaging a smidgen over 43 mpg and that’s just me pottering around my local area.

        There’s bad news and there’s good news:

        The Bad News: I haven’t been very well yet again recently.

        The Good News: Because of poor health i haven’t been online which means there’s gonna be a lot of good topics and comments for me to catch up on here on whichmobilitycar.co.uk

          Hope your health picks up Gee.

          Try an avoid roundabouts on 2 wheels. May help with the ‘ Lean’ problem.

          Get well soon dude.

              Same here with the gears! I have the ST Line X and wouldn’t be paying the increased AP.

              As for storing and changing radio stations: find the station you like then press and hold one of the radio stations already listed to replace it! Hope that helps!

                Thank you for the info regarding storing radio stations @coruro.

                I’ve repeatedly done as you suggested but for some unknown reason it still fails to store. My best guess is that there must be a software problem with my Kuga.

                  I’m really surprised at your comments on “lean” and “gear changes…jerky”. I’ve been driving the same 1.5 Ecoboost Kuga for almost 3 years and I find it a real peach to drive. I’m not noted for hanging about.

                    Well, Gee is

                    FAST this is a no brainer

                    And

                    FURIOUS, especially when his channels dont change!

                     

                    A lot of cars infotainment problems are fixed by a reset. Its usually a small hole for using a paperclip to reset the midule.

                    See if there is anything on Youtube for resetting the radio

                      @Gee if your struggling with anything, such as storing radio stations ect pop back into your dealers and ask them to run you through how it’s done.
