What d'you mean? Mine's exactly where it should be!

More than happy with my Edge thanks. A larger and much better looking car than that.

My '20 Edge ST Towing Experience
niceonept replied to poontanghooligan's topic in Cargo, Hauling, Roof Racks & Towing
Yep, agreed. Here's my only towing experience with the Edge so far. Similar.

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! -
Well if I said I've owned it since 1981 it'll give you an idea of how old I am too!
-
Thanks Ron. It's not new, or restored - just looked after during the 42 years I've owned it.

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.
-
Welcome to the forum Steve. Hope you enjoy.
-
Thank you. I've tried every single menu on the car, including the Navigation one, but to no avail. I was hoping someone might know if it could be changed using Forscan.
-
Thanks, yes I've tried that but it doesn't work. The chime just doesn't last for long enough to coordinate increasing the volume at the same time.
-
Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the volume of the chime that accompanies the flashing speed limit sign when drifting over the speed limit? I've found the setting to adjust the tolerance of the warning but not the volume of the chime, which is barely audible. Can it be done using ForScan?

Welcome to the forum Jason. Hope you find it interesting and useful. If you have some photos of your Edge we'd love to see them.
-
Welcome to you and your lovely big orange car. Hope you enjoy the forum.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?
niceonept replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
Yes. As you can probably tell from my profile I love 1970s Japanese strokers. I can't believe I've now had that RD for 30 years! I bought it from my best mate's girlfriend at the time a year before my eldest son was born. Where does time go?? -

Seeing lildisco's pics reminded me I used my Edge to tow a trailer for the first time a couple of weeks back.
-
Sounds great. Do you have any pics to share with us?
-
Thanks. They're the standard equipment lights for the ST-Line. As far as I know they are halogen headlamps with combined LED daytime driving lights/indicators. The foggies are halogen (I think). -
It's stress cracking - a common problem with the Edge's original, laminated glass sunroof. As a result the original laminated glass is no longer available and has been replaced by toughened (tempered) glass. It's worth checking if this is covered under your motor insurance. When this happened to my Edge last year I was able to get the glass replaced under my policy with only a nominal excess to pay.

This is a laminated glass sunroof, not toughened (tempered) glass.

Welcome to the forum Serebyani. Nice Edge you have there. And Agreed, that's a lovely colour blue.

Welcome to the forum. I had no idea there were N. American Edges that had European built engines! -
Finally - Just purchased a 2016 Ford Edge Sport

Glad to have you join us Alan. Welcome. -

I agree, it looks really neat. But I could never be without the rear wiper. I have to use it nearly every single week of the year to keep the rear windscreen clear.
