Thanks for the reply
The maintenance information is really usefull thanks, the garage that i am going to is really specialised in american cars new and classic.
Most of the "European build" Ford dealers dont have the computer equipement to read out the engine paramaters so i need to go to a specialised garage.
By now we have about 38K on the counter. Originaly our Edge was a company car from the newyork area and was sold at auction (company bankrupt i think) Than a dutch guy bought it at the auction and imported it ,drove a few years in it but realised with the dutch gas prices it was not the best choice. So the mileage stayed fairly low for it's age. Initialy that actually scared me off a bit (odometer fraude??) But luckely i got it confirmed trough CARFAX and also the original dealer in newyork (sticker was one window) confirmed the miles when it was brought in for maintenance.
To be sure i took it to the specialised garage before purchase to see if they could find anything the history database of the cars computer and to give it a thorough check up to confirm that the car looked like it matched the mileage.
All came out positive they showed me at the garage how you can tell if someone temperred with the milleage by looking in the cars computer memmory (strange resets or battery disconnection etc etc) and to show were to look for wear and tear vs the claimed milleage.
All came out fine returned to the seller and made the purchase.
They only thing wrong with it at time of purchase was the constant tire pressure warning coming up. That was easily fixed by putting in a new tire transmitter. The seller took the cost for putting in a new one off the price so that was fair.
I put a new set of tires on it because of tire cupping (whobbly noise when driving) tere was no vibration in the steering wheel or chassis but just a noisy rumble from the wheels. Garage explained it was tire cupping and suggested new tires and aligning. That helped alot no more noises.
really the only thing now is the transmission that seems to work off it's shifting program a bit confusing, it's like sometimes it does not know where to go.Shifting is smooth without clunks but sometimes a bit un logical..
I will ask the garage to check it out and to change fluids like you said maybe that will help that plus the reset action.
Will send some pics later ...in front of a dutch windmill :-))))
