    Having replaced the Serpentine belt and tensioner, I now need to replace a few worn pulleys and can point them out but need a diagram to help me know what the right part numbers are. I'm sure I saw a diagram that listed them all on Tasca or RockAuto but have just given up after and hour of...

    Help with the correct parts before I ship them to the UK!

    Hi there, I have my 2015 5.4L V8 Expy here in the UK (where it is a little unusual). Ford here have no clue! So getting parts is always fun. I tend to use rockauto and get them shipped here if I can figure out what to get. Today I'm told my rear diff is leaking oil and I need to get the three...

    Wiring diagram for 2015 XLT

    Hi there, bit of a nightmare day here in the UK with my lovely USA Expedition. The rear passenger side indicator went, which was quickly pointed out to me by drivers behind me, when I seemed not to indicate when crossing the oncoming traffic to turn right! So I got a new bulb and replaced it...

    E10 vs E5 petrol

    Hi Guys, Here in the UK we just moved from E5 grade petrol (gas) to E10. The UK govt advice is that cars 6 years old or less will be fine with E10 so I switched for my US 2015 Expedition. But now I'm wondering .... does the drive feel different? Made me realise I have no clue what grade the...

    Where's the hidden lake?

    So this is a weird one. Since the beginning of the monsoon season here in England, I have been able to hear liquid swishing around behind me and to the right. My assumption was it was the petrol tank and I could just hear the petrol swishing around. Odd thing is I've never heard that before in...

Before I break anything does anyone know the trick to getting behind here please? (You usually find out how simple it is after you...

    What do you pay for an oil change?

    Hi Chaps, Honourary Brit here. I'm due an oil change on my 5.4L V8 and it seems expensive. In my local (UK) garages I've been quoted £80 ($102) and £122 ($155) if I supply the filter! To be fair it's 5.7L of engine oil. On amazon.co.uk the oil alone costs about £50 so the £80 deal doesn't seem...

    So this is my third Expedition and today I've just agreed to pay £800 to have the front and back completely resprayed due to the Aluminium 'rust' / rot or whatever it's called.

    What is this noise on start up?

    When I start my Expedition for the first time each day - about 5 seconds in, it makes this huge grinding noise, like something moves (badly) but is having a problem. Not living in the US means I can't just get the Ford guy to take a look. I videod it this morning - the grinding sound is at 5...

    UK oil equiv of XO-5W30-QSP or XO-5W30-QFS or WSS-M2C946-A

    How hard can oil be? This is my third Expedition that I've brought to the UK and never had a probem getting oil here before. I've seen warnings about getting the wrong oil or ones that are not up to spec, or can even cause harm, so I thought I'd check with you experts out there :-) My local oil...

    Help to identify a part please

    Hi, The plastic moulding on the side of the driver seat has broken on my 2015 Expedition XLT 5.4L (not a US model but physically the same as the 2015 smaller engine models). I've looked on RockAuto and other places but can't seem to find what I actually need to order. I live in the UK so it's...

    Two cooling questions

    Hi - I have a 2015 XLT and live in England. It's been 38 centigrade (that's almost 100F) which is pretty unheard of. For the last few days a loud fan has been coming on immediately after starting the engine - I hear it under the bonnet/hood and it's quite loud. The aircon is on but then it...

    Rear view camera misaligned?

    Hi there, I finally laid my 2004 Expedition to rest and replaced it with a nice shiny 2015 model that has been sat unused for a year! It's great but when I got back from the car wash the other day I noticed in the rear view camera I could see the back door handle and the top of the bumper...

    Is my truck dead? :-(

    It's 10:30pm here in the UK and my 2004 Eddie Bauer just clunked when when I went into reverse - no more reverse. I managed to get home somewhere between 20mph and revving like crazy and hardly moving. When I started from a stop light the noise was a bit scary. So my baby is out front - the...

    How to source original TPMS1?

    Hi - I have an '04 Expedition and one of the tyre valves snapped off. My local (UK) american car specialist got a replacement TPMS but it's the wrong one. Apparently Ford replaced the TPMS1 with another unit but for my car only the original TPMS1 will do (part number 4L2Z-1A150BB). (The...

    Horn not working - how to remove cover?

    Hi there, my horn has finally given up having become intermittent for a while. It feels like there is a loose connection in the steering wheel somewhere (the radio vol controls stopped at the same time). I can't see any simple instructions on how to safely get inside the steering wheel to look...

    Monkies removed rear washer

    Well here is an odd one - I was driving through longleat safari park at the weekend and one of the monkies surgically removed the washer sprayer from the rear of my 2005 Eddie Bauer 5.4L V8! OK so it does warn you that your car will be destroyed (google "monkies destroying cars at longleat" for...

    Where to get courtesy light fitting

    Hi - the courtesy light bulb in my 2004 EB has melted the fitting. This is the light in the wing mirror that shines on the ground when you remote open the car. I have managed to remove the bulb but the fitting is not usable and is obviously hard wired onto the end of the wire. The housing for...
