    Does your oil pressure gauge ever move?

    Thanks to everyone for your replies. I will try not to let it annoy me every tome I look at it. It is most amusing when it’s still showing healthy oil pressure when the engine is turned off by the auto start stop!!! Mark

    Does your oil pressure gauge ever move?

    Guys I know I am "old school" and used to mechanical gauges - but the digital gauge on my Expedition doesn't ever move It goes straight to the midpoint on start up and sits at the midpoint whether the engine is cold, hot, under load or just idling. On a mechanical gauge I am used to high...

    Adaptive cruise control

    Everyone above is correct - the Cruise will start by trying to use engine braking and dropping a few gears to achieve the necessary speed reduction, in which case there is no brake light. If the retardation required is more than that then the brakes will activate and the brake lights will always...

    How to add water to the battery?

    As long as it has the same amp ratings for cranking etc then you can get any male you want. But the auto start on our cars places a massive strain on the battery so thinking you can save a few bucks on a budget brand will be a false economy Mark

    Stock 2019 Ford Expedition Makes 464 Horsepower

    Remember that the tranny was joint developed with GM and is sat in the Camaro ZL1 with 650HP and 650 Torques Chevy also wanted to put it in the Corvette Z06 and ZR1 but couldn't get it to physically fit in the transaxle This was a transmission designed for big numbers Mark

    2019 Model actual MPG way lower than expected

    Have you got it in 4WD or 2WD? Even though it is “intelligent” the 4WD kicks power through the front very frequently which will hurt economy. I drive in 4WD all the time and am getting about 16 on average which I accept as a penalty for using 4WD Remember manufacturers set these numbers in...

    Brake pads

    Toby, you have a fair point. Most road cars are calibrated similarly. My guilty confession is that I spent about 25 years racing karts and cars at a serious amateur level in Europe (I am originally from the UK.) So I do tend to be hard on brakes and “forget” I am driving an Expedition :-) So...

    Brake pads

    How are you finding those Powerstops versus stock? I hate the feel of the stock Rotors and Pads. Feels like I need too much pedal pressure and it’s not linear at all so I push a bit and get nothing then push more and get too much braking :-) Looking for something a bit more linear and stronger...

    Please help me pick floor mats....

    For those interested in Trunk liners - I use the larger Weathertech that covers the third row of seats when they are folded. Although it is not designed to use with the third row up, I find that it does fold pretty easily and will sit pretty happily behind the third row when I am using a...

    How to search for 2018 Expedition Max Limited w 2nd row buckets?

    If the Rear Seat Entertainment system is the thing that is stopping you finding a car, then just go buy the car you want in the correct spec and add an aftermarket RSE. As many have said on this forum, the Ford system is not made by Ford. Apart from power running up the seats there is no...

    Headphones and RSE

    The headsets sound OK, but they are pretty crappy quality, so I could see how they could quickly sound bad if they are being kicked around the car by kids. I tend to use cheap wired headsets for my kids as they have no concept of how to look after stuff :-)

    Headphones and RSE

    The headphones that come with the car are not "connected" in the same way as bluetooth. For Bluetooth you could only have one pair of headphones connected to one screen. The RSE uses Infrared transmitters which transmit the audio to any compatible infrared headset that is in direct line of...

    Park Aid Fault

    Yep. I got the same. About 50% of the time I get this or a “sensor blocked” error. My dealer diagnosed a faulty sensor at the front. They are on back order but should be available in the next 3 weeks and will be a warranty fix The sooner you can get to your dealer, the quicker they can order...

    Loaner for Service/Warranty Work

    Mine is going in for some warranty work next week and the dealer has promised me a loaner. Interested to see what I get. To be fair this is my first experience with the dealer and they put Expy owners with the Lincoln Service desk, so impressed so far with their response Mark

    2019 Rear Seat Entertainment Question

    Did you rip from iTunes or DVD? If you ripped from iTunes they would still be copy protected unless you use a piece of software to remove the copy protection - converting to MP4 on it's own doesn't remove the iTunes protection Also I reduced the file size massively by using a lower resolution...
