Welcome. Have you tried the suggestion @enigma-2 posted directly above yours?

There's a few scanners available that can do the ABS bleed function - a bi-directional tool will cost around $300 to $600, but you could see about loaning one from Autozone. Here's one example: https://www.amazon.com/TOPDON-ArtiDiag-Bidirectional-OE-Level-Diagnostic/dp/B0BNKHCXVC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2PHKOECMCCH78&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.wtD8hkhY1zyiBdGmJRbfWjEjCH4q7MHceyOEiO56rGJApl1bFBaxsz79fm2I9IUISsTGw6mPmb6Jveb7pOE5Pi3GP7zq6-tR1NLpx0HfU_Y8HjHJvGtzyBz0nDe4ISsR3hzI0V9wum3DYDKcmf_B28DYBGslfkBOz4f3PDAPwMGiFcCv3yg1gZ5EPhoRdYB0Ftv3bCB6fANxdauykrNO-GIi-VeUXy0BjXznP7qRYB59ECPszBtM0wADmi7QWA0UYvEok4F9GXf3O6QvyaGaTVjPWLvJVyiACQWQE6gt6SA.OvtyCSlRA92qhehXImnwpw5g52bhqjwreXHN0b9drtM&dib_tag=se&keywords=topdon+topscan+pro&qid=1720746051&sprefix=topdon+%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-3 https://www.topdon.com/products/ArtiDiag-Pro

I don't think that's practical for expelling air from the system.

Welcome. The only thing that I can see that you didn't do was the bleed procedure that includes activation of the ABS pump/system.

Please add your location and vehicle Model/Year to your profile signature - Settings - Ford Edge Forum

I'm sure @Haz will be able to confirm what service manual is available from Ford for your UK Model/Year. The Ford service manuals are very good, but pricey - @Haz frequently posts excerpts from these manuals.

Welcome. Many reports on this forum of the unreliability of the remanufactured alternators, leaving the owners with no option but a new OEM replacement. If you can get the car to Autozone have them test the alternator and battery - they don't charge for this.

This is the one that I have: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z67MMGC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 There's always the option to get it tested free of charge at Autozone - either way, it's way better than guessing.

What brand of fan?

No vehicle warranty covers impact damage. There's no way to prove if the damage occurred after the used vehicle was sold or prior to the sale.

A failing battery will most often indicate fully charged which doesn't mean it's healthy - the only reliable way to address the reported issue is testing.

No idea what "everything" means. The battery tester, like the ones that Autozone will use on your vehicle at no charge, will test more than just the health of the battery - I suggest that be the first step in the diagnostics.

What have you checked so far? How about the suggestions posted in this thread?

Are you convinced that Ford doesn't specify the Motorcraft Full Synthetic and its additive package for your model with its belt driven oil pump?

Motorcraft Blend and Motorcraft Full Synthetic are both good oils and meet Ford's specs, so out of those two which would you say is best?

No doubt that the Motocraft oil is good, but wouldn't consider anything other than full synthetic.

I doubt that your owners manual is different to mine with regards the oil spec. Full Synthetic is listed as optional - i.e. for those that want to pay for the extra protection of the full synth.

Walmart Supetech, Costco Kirkland, Amazon Basics, MAG1, ......... all made by reputable American company Warren Distribution/Oil You'll find them listed here: https://www.gmdexos.com/brands/dexos1/index.html

Blend and 7K miles with a turbo charged engine wouldn't be the best if long term ownership is planned.

Blend or Full Synthetic?

Welcome. What you describe falls in the category of Latent Defect, and should have been addressed with Ford Corp. Could you share the details of the missing weld location and component? How was this repaired and by who - if it's a structural weld, which it sounds like it was, then there'd be special weld procedures involved.
