thanks Mark. Having just bought the new 24 next gen sport, I've gone back over you previous posts. unlike others I've come across, you've been positive, sought fixes, and released good content. much appreciated. you have a dedicated follower over hear on the east side.

Thanks mate. I do really like the car and the reality is no vehicle/make/model is immune from issues. When you consider how big of a step forward it is from the previous PX model, I knew there was the chance of an odd glitch here and there. Overall it’s been enjoyable to own. Congrats on the new Sport and thanks for the follow ☺️

Thanks for the update. My wife and I are hoping to by an XLT Ranger at the end of the year, so it''s been great following your experience, mods and suppliers. I'm in WA and find it difficult to find reliable quality suppliers as a high price these days is no guarantee, allot of the time you don't even get what you've paid for.

@Perth4WDandCamping 2 ай бұрын

Yeah it is tricky finding suppliers you can trust to work on your car. As a general rule, I’ve found having less companies/people work on the car the better so you have consistency with things like wiring if you’re adding accessories etc. Exciting that you have a new XLT coming. They really are a lovely car to drive - still enjoying it after a year and a half of ownership.

Thanks mate! Yes that’s a good point. Trans temps were great on the trip in 4H. Interesting thats Fords default ‘sand’ mode used 4H and locks the rear dif. XLT doesn’t have this mode, but the models above do

Hey Mark. I was supposed to have picked up my wild track but it's on hold due to a front sensor issue when fitting a bull bar. All pre delivery Bullaring fittings have been put on hold They told me it needs to be remapped. Wonder if it's the same issue.

@Perth4WDandCamping 2 ай бұрын

@Christophpugh 10 күн бұрын

My Ranger has done the same. Limp mode in 4L. Goes again after everything cools down. Looking forward to seeing if it's a sensor issue, but my hunch is it's a transmission linked error. Currently also getting an error on and off linked to the air box since the last service. Hoping they having put the box back together properly and it is an easy fix.

Hi mate i own a next gen sport had it go into limp while towing my caravan. This happened in tow/Haul mode while coasting down a hill not accelerating. Lucky to find a spot to get off the road! Turned off and restarted all good so far. Due for 45,000 service next week will be interesting to hear what ford has to say. Cheers Mick

@@MickCirson yeah definitely want to get to the bottom of it. Unsure if you’re running a OBD monitoring device like a ScanGauge but it’s a great way to keep an eye on the vitals - as the digital gauges aren’t specific enough IMO

@andreabta 2 ай бұрын

Let's hope 🤞🤞 usually that sensor trigger a code for adaptive cruise control malfunction when disconnected or faulty but haven't seen limp mode yet. I guess you can try for us to lock your rear diff in 4L that sensor would be deactivated from The computer as well as you brake asissist so it should not give you the code 🤔. See how you go

@Perth4WDandCamping 2 ай бұрын

Yeah it’s an interesting one. Rear dif wasn’t locked but traction and esc was off (via long hold on the traction button). I guess just have to trust the diagnosis here and advise from Ford and fingers crossed it’s the fix 🤞

@vhonborbon986 2 ай бұрын

Hmmm front sonar shouldnt affect drivability (limping) the only thing it should affect is your cruise control and emergency braking when near a car. But who knows i'm not a ford mechanic but i do work with hyundai and toyota which is when the sonar/radar is faulty it just won't let you use your cruise control but not put the car in limp mode.

@Perth4WDandCamping 2 ай бұрын

Only going off what I have been told from the dealership. They must believe it’s possible with it sharing the harness with the powertrain module. I guess time will tell if the distance sensor is the fix. Fingers crossed 🤞

@streetleswa8053 2 ай бұрын

Give it a flogging in 4 low otherwise you won't know if it's fixed , better to find out now than when you need 4 low and it goes into limp again . You need to be confident in your vehicle other wise it's to stressful .😁

It’s possible. I supplied a video to the dealer showing footage of it going into limp mode in the hope it would help resolve the issue. The reality is the video didn’t really help as there were no codes registered initially, but it did prove the issue occurred.
