Ford has a pretty efficient supply chain mechanism and I have experienced it when I have had friends go in with their Fusions and the older Endys for rare parts, in fact, I have also seen an Escort or two at a couple of service stations.

Not that different if the driver is mature and the pads are changed at the right time.

I too cant believe that something made of cast iron can wear out with proper driving patterns and preventive maintenance.

Which ones are these specifically? As there were multiple products discussed earlier in the thread, it would help to know the specifics.

Also a question on installation - Did you do it yourself? Is there enough space behind to accommodate the depth of the fan and the ballast (if this one came with those).

I presume plug and play still. Do post the link to the product as well please. Thanks in advance.

I got this installed by a local car electrician. I was not present at that moment buy my brother confirmed everything is housed inside.

I presume plug and play still. Do post the link to the product as well please.

I can confirm this is a plug and play unit, will take hardly 5-10 minutes for installation. Please check the product pictures in above link.

Well, I got the 5th service done yesterday at 56k . This was at Pahwa Ford. They took their sweet time in doing it. Apart from routine service, there was an issue with the horn, which was sounding weird and conked off yesterday morning. It had nothing to do with the horn plate that was changed last month (under warranty) and had a wire clip loose. So that was rectified.

The nuts, as you all recall, were changed. The new ones though, looked pretty much the same except having a more steely look. The SA said that these are the new ones. They were not really committed when i asked them if they would change it on all Endeavours but I could get the manager to say that for the vehicles that come in for service, they would change the nuts. They were of course done FOC. I would suggest you guys to contact your dealership and specifically push them for the change of nuts.

Also, they made a refund (adjustment in the final bill) for the 50% i had paid for the tyre replacement (50% had been already discounted at initial instance), making it a free of cost replacement of the tyre . A nice gesture from their side. The total cost of engine oil, oil filter and sump gasket plug plus labor was about Rs. 6437. This was adjusted against the refund.

Also, the brake pads were worn out especially the rear ones, and i pointed out that i had got them (rear ones) changed just 9500 kms prior, they agreed to replace them.

Also, I got updates for the PCM and TCM both. See attached pics for reference.

Hey, this looks great. Keen on buying it for my 2008 Honda CR-V....not sure if it fit would though. Checked in Amazon but they seem to be promoting it for bikes instead? Maybe it might have been for another product.

The fogs are easy enough to install on your own, just twist and remove the existing ones. Use cable ties to secure the power controller somewhere, and you're done. everything is water resistant, so no issues. My fogs have seen 2 monsoons (navi mumbai), and work perfectly.

Did they replace without charge? Have you tried to find the reasons of change so early? How are your rotors, by any chance will you have any pictures?

Yes, they replaced them free of charge but the approval was still pending so i am not sure what the final call will be.

I think the trip to Spiti valley must have contributed though I suspect the quality of the brake pads too. The first pair of rear brake pads had lasted up to 46k. The front ones still looked good and one of the SA said they could go on, but they changed it nevertheless. I wanted to take the old pair with me for pics to share. However, they said they have to send the product back to the company as it was replaced FOC. I have my fingers crossed on that one.

The rotors were fine. No deep grooves. Felt smooth with fine grooves.
My bad, i did not take any pics. One more lesson learnt.

Can be the reasons, it does make a difference. I won't suspect Quality as they must be getting from overseas unless they have developed a local vendor.

Looks, I will have to stop approving bills of my colleague, if you guys are talking about such numbers then there must be some issue with his driving style. I am sending him a link of this thread

That's good, his car used to shudder when he used to apply the brakes, so do watch in the future.

I also had a shudder but after changing the brake pads it was fine and they also bled the brake fluid lines. I guess both must have contributed to the shudder. The rotors were definitely good.

Look pretty good. I think I will go ahead with this change. Thanks once again.

Will be back by the end of the day with the 5th service update. Currentlly sitting at Pahwa Ford, Faridabad, doing what i love most...www.team-bhp.com

What was the issue with horn?, my car has an issue with horn that left half doesn't function, right side works fine (pressing the horn). I haven't showed it to the service center yet.

It's the quality.

Some Endeavour owners have got their nuts changed under warranty due to broken nuts, while their tyres were taken off during tyre rotation.

After two of my friends in a common group complained of and faced this problem, I have kept a spare packet of nuts in my car permanently.

By the way the nut size is 19mm and I have invested in a Torque spanner as well bought from Amazon.

I procured this wrench and now it turns out that the nuts are larger (slightly) than 19 mm. Is that possible? Mine is a Mar 2016 manufacture.

Another question: Where did you procure the spare steel nuts from? Any specific brand or Ford?

It was the same thing at first. I had to really press the horn hard and it worked at the center portion only. They changed the whole thing under warranty as the air bag was integrated in it. Please take it to the service center and get it changed under warranty.
The second time there was a wire clip issue or that is what they told. It’s working fine now.

You should contact your service center and specifically tell them that the nuts have swelled up and demand for a change. Like I had mentioned in my post, they are changing the nuts FOC. Ford has been at fault of not only providing faulty nuts but also knowing about the issue and not doing anything. My car is April 2016 manufacture.
