  1. That must've happened to at least half of all the Fords I've had, some within three years of being new. Thankfully though my Edge is showing no signs yet, despite it being five years old.
  2. Great in theory but not in practice. It never works when I want it to, and only works when I don't!
  3. Welcome Chris. Where are you and what Edge do you have?
  4. They aren't obsolete for those of us who don't want our music interrupted by texts, notifications and phone calls all the time and want to listen to music that isn't available on Spotify. I usually keep about eight iPods in my Edge - seven Nanos and a Touch. The Nanos play perfectly, the Touch can be a bit buggy sometimes but unfortunately Sync 3 can't cope with any of my iPod Classics, even those with an SSD conversion.
  5. Way more sales. There are 266,423 Kugas (Escapes) on UK roads compared to just 7,908 Edges. That's more than 30 times as many!
  6. What d'you mean? Mine's exactly where it should be!
  7. More than happy with my Edge thanks. A larger and much better looking car than that.
  8. Yep, agreed. Here's my only towing experience with the Edge so far. Similar.
  9. Thanks. It's tidy and all original but far from show quality - just looked after. The wheels are showing their age with a fair bit of pitting and with spokes needing the constant attention of the oily rag. The twin discs at the front worked really well - in the dry. But in the wet they were lethal. The old twin leading shoe drums of the first 750J were much better, to be honesy. But it's not a problem now - modern brake pads and tyres make it stop and handle better than it ever did. And I never take it out in the wet now anyway!
  10. Well if I said I've owned it since 1981 it'll give you an idea of how old I am too!
  11. Thanks Ron. It's not new, or restored - just looked after during the 42 years I've owned it.
  12. Hi Michael. Welcome to the forum. Where in Germany are you? Even though its not an Edge we'd sure like to see a pic of your Explorer. I wasn't aware it was available in Germany.
