I can read the instruments and information display in daylight no problem as long as the exterior lights are off. It is quite common where I live to use your side/park lights as running lights on "dull" days and of course as soon as you do that, the dash is reduced to approximately half output...

Thanks for your input and yes, I have concerns about what side effects I may create by simply using the dimmer control's map light switching to "hot wire" the cluster lights.

I have an ’08 and like to run in daylight with the park lights on. The issue I have is that when any of the lights are on, the dash lights dim. This of course is correct function and highly desirable at night, but during the day makes reading anything in the information centre (like distance to...

I made a small puller that contacted at 2 points 180 degrees apart. Worked fine but there was certainly a lot of load involved. I was almost at the stage where heat would have been applied. By heat I mean using a hot air gun and only enough to expand the arm, not burn paint off!

All of the above plus 1) have you checked the clutch disc for runout? I got caught with a new disc that had an issue caused at assembly. Linings were basically at an angle to the hub spline. This resulted in the clutch dragging on the pressure plate and flywheel faces even at full release...

Job done! Two "tricks"..... first one was to use a large hydraulic press to remove the OE ball joint from the arm. I went to a local heavy haulage truck repair shop and used a powered hydraulic press that popped the joint out easily. The second trick was to use a die grinder to ensure that the...

Thanks for your reply. Aftermarket uses C clip, Ford OE does not which would explain the crimping on the underside of the joint. Ford list the arm as unserviceable.

I have just gone to replace a front ball joint in our 2008 Bullitt. My ball joint replacement tool kit is a basic “G clamp style” and has been unable to press the OE ball joint out. I have the arm out of the car, so I have an excellent visual on alignment of the tool. I have noticed that the...

Hi there. Did you ever resolve this? I’m interested in what the cause was and I haven’t seen any additional postings.

Sorry to hear that you’re not well. All the best for a full recovery and good luck with the car.

Watching. Any progress?

Just went to fit a battery stabiliser to my 2008 Bullitt. Rather than install a socket and hard wire it to the battery, I decided to use a universal plug and charge the battery via the “Power Outlet” socket located in the dash. I have checked that the socket is live with the key off (it is)...
