I think it's a known issue, there are some posts on the review thread. They will change under warranty.

The horn was replaced under warranty. There were no damages to wiring. With red Crysta it was a poor job, got them re-connected using clamps. That said my White Crysta wasn't lucky. The air filter box was damaged by rodents, thanks to my friend's garage which does fiber molding and repair cost few hundred bucks.

Hey have you tried using any of those car rodent repellents. I still have it in my car but then now I have shifted to a new place so car stays in the open and less of rodent menace here. How good are these repellents actually

The repellents helped to certain extent, so did the catchers which I got from abroad. However the rats are smart, there was a flurry of death initially later which no deaths were reported. I now keep the car at open space in night and my dogs guard the car against these rodents.

Completed 40k service on my endeavour. The car had actually done only about 38k, however was over a year since I got serviced last. There was some offer running and got brake pads replaced which costed 6k. Regular service costed 9.5k. Got interior cleaning and wax polish, which costed another 4k. Got front tires replaced-Geolanders, have ordered same for rear as well. Almost 4 years and this Ford has come out super reliable. Great engine, solid build quality, reliable, cheap to maintain and to top it fun to drive, could not have asked for more.

With long break, Endeavour has munched a little over 50KM in 2 months. There was some sort of Rat menace and engine check light is glowing in Dash. Car is running fine though. Talked to service center and have asked me to get the car. I am guessing this is due to some of the work done by rats!

Posting after years. ODO is at 55K and is out of warranty now. Radiator hose pipe was torn and had to get same replaced. Actual cost including tax and installation was about 9.5K, but 20+years being a customer of Cauvery Ford, tax and labour was waived off and costed me 7K. Was a quick job and business as usual at Cauvery Ford.

Went on a drive to Bangalore. Looking at the state of roads, I am not going to stick to body on frames. There were lot of complaints on bad roads between Hassan-Sakleshpur, a drive in Endeavour and everyone in car were eagerly looking forward for bad stretch, we blasted past the so called bad patch without anyone realizing.

Radiator hose issues have been reported by many in Australia. Not sure if Radiator hose or intercooler hose is the same on the Everest / Endeavour.
I was checking boodmo and there are various hoses priced from 500 to 2000, so not sure. But I'm sure there will be some associated parts.

Here is a video of the hose for Mazda BT50 / Ford Everest.

In Australia and US, Ford owners are used performance hoses.

Many links have hot side and cold side hoses.

Thank you, Yes it's the same pipe as mentioned in video. So should be intercooler hose. I am told 2.0L has a different pipe.

Let go off this beauty earlier this week. Had a memorable 6 years of trouble free ownership. To make it sweeter got decent price despite Ford shutting shop. Endeavour might have lasted for another couple of years, but with Ford shutting shop, 6 year old, getting a decent resale price- had to sell it. Wish Ford continued its operations in India.

I followed your thread keenly since inception and then got myself an Endeavour 2.2. I am certain that it would be an emotional moment to part with such gem of a vehicle. I can never do that so I am gonna use it till it starts to fall apart . Anyway, just curious about with what you're gonna replace the mighty Endeavour?

That's sad. However I would say that it was a good financial decision, but surely not a decision from the heart. I am sure you would keep it for long long time had Ford been fully functional in India. However what matters is that you enjoyed the vehicle while it was with you and got a good deal after you parted ways.

All the best for your new purchase.
