    Coolant leak

    mine is also a 2008 and I didn't have that issue, maybe that's the advantage of getting the genuine ford part? Have you removed the extension, shortened your new house or just decided to live with the extra length? Gary

    Coolant leak

    I thought of doing the same thing but in the end decided to keep it OEM. A brass T piece and 3 hose clamps would work just fine. Gary

    Coolant leak

    I have a 2008 and had a leak at that exact same T piece. Can’t tell you if you have the correct part number, but it seems to be a fairly common place for a coolant leak. The replacement hose cost about $100 bucks and is easy to replace as there are quick release hose clamps on 2 ends and a...

    Maintenance on 2007 Exp EL

    At that mileage, I would be considering flushing all fluids (transmission, differential, transfer box, brake fluid and changing the coolant), change the oil filter. The 2007 model is the last year that had the risky hydraulic cam chain tensioner fitted. Does the engine make a lot of noise when...

    Pwr running board seized

    F I found it very obvious, there are 2 brackets that mount the entire step to the chassis, (one at each end of the step) and they are mounted with 3 or 4 bolts on each bracket and there is one electrical connector that you undo and it all comes off. Putting it back on is the exact reverse...

    Tyre sensor fault

    thanks guys, I assumed the transmitters inside the wheels would not be affected by weather and this only occurs when it rains (so dismissed the transmitters as beign the cause), I also assumed there was an antenna in each wheel well to pick up the signal, so assumed water was getting into those...

    Tyre sensor fault

    Guys, I noticed a couple of times now that when it rains, my 08 expedition displays a message about a faulty tyre pressure sensor. I assume water is getting into a connection and causing the error message. I have not had a chance to connect my OBD reader, but I was wondering if I do connect it...

    Remote start - heated seats

    Is this with the standard Ford remote start (small black key fob with a single button with a Key printed on it)? I have the Ford remote start on my 08 but had no idea there was a menu that I could select what happens when using the remote start, could you explain how I access that menu? Regards...

    Upgrade motor?

    not to be nasty, but you will need to check the pistons are okay (they hit the valves!!). Gary

    Led conversion

    I am no expert on legal matters, but I can't see how replacing a tungsten bulb with an LED bulb could invalidate a warranty. Do remember LED lights are polarity sensitive so you need to make sure you put them in the correct way round or they will not light up, also replacing the indicator bulbs...

    Intermittent Turn Signal issue

    Well as I don't see many suggestions, for me it has to either be a bad flasher relay or a wiring issue!! As replacing the relay is cheap and easy, I would suggest trying a new flasher relay first, if that doesn't fix it, then it sounds like you are going to have to start looking for issues in...

    2011 map update worth it?

    As stated the maps are horrendously expensive and well behind most other maps, a useful backup option but don't depend on it if you are driving in newly constructed areas!!

    18MPG around town on 03 5.4l

    yes, I was serious, I can't get anything like the MPG you are getting around town. I have not heard of the smoke test and would be interested in hearing how it is performed. Don't think I have a leak but always like to learn new techniques to find problems. Please share.. Gary

    Mud flaps for power running board

    Seeing this page I went and ordered the full set of 4 Weathertech mudflaps for my 2008 EL and they arrived. Fitting them was very easy and they fit very well. The rear mud flaps where great they mount using 2 existing screws and have a clip that attaches to the rear wheel arch liner, so nice and...

    2010 EL Running Board Motor

    I had the same issue, I was able to get a 4" angle grinder to go between the step bracket and the frame bracket and cut the shaft coming out of the motor unit without damaging anything else. as soon as the shaft was cut the motor unit fell to the floor and then the remaining part of the shaft...
