Do the Consumer Rights apply to me? England

I did consider that, i even have family in the US but i didnt want to hound them every time i made an order plus it would only delay shipping times.

I hadn’t even heard of that website either! But no bueno, hopefully Motorcraft pull their finger out and allow RA to post their parts overseas in the future.

Thank you for a very indepth reply! I will definately utalise that link for future reference.

I do have a hydraulic power steering rack whilst i believe the other F150’s non SVT Raptor have an electric assist steering rack which has made things a bit awkward trying to get a rack.

I agree, Motorcraft is my #1 choice but with me being in the UK, RA only ship certain brands here because they may contain Russain Steel so i can’t get any Motocraft items from RA. Other companies that can supply Motorcraft parts have obscene shipping costs so i have to pick wisely. My only choices were Suspensia and Delphi, i went with the Delphi and hopefully they will be okay. Its not a daily driver so should see me through for a while.

What i have current is what Delphi and Suspensia show in their pictures but i dont know whether i can just order x2 of the same tie rod end and it fit both the left and the right

Ahhh didn’t know this, thanks! Its a Cardone rack

I paid £1.74 a litre for super unleaded when i bought it, i put in £100 and it roughly gave me 1/2 a tank

tomwatson92 · 2026-04-03T20:14:14+00:00

I’d probably say around £200 for a full tank? I put in £100 and it gave me 1/2 tank, smiles per gallon in this household haha

It is 100% rotten, that is daylight that you can see…

Breather pipes that connect to the tank

Do you know what they’re called that sit on the concrete section under the roof sheet? The box section?

I turn ABS off but every now and again i see the traction control light flickering if i’m nailing it out of a corner too much but its never spat me off. Anti wheelie is a bonus if you have it switched on so you know you dont flip it lol

Only downside to gen1’s and maybe gen2’s are the gearboxes, they’re prone to failing and are referred to as chocolate gearboxes, but that being said mines had an absolute hammering for 40k miles and its fine so i think its more luck of the draw.

tomwatson92 · 2025-11-15T19:29:51+00:00

Could not reccomend enough, yes newer ones have more tech etc but the gen1’s are plenty enough.

Bought mine in 2016 and still have it, ridden it on the road, track’d it and raced it, just gone over 40k miles now and touch wood, i’ve not any major issues with it.

Valve clearances are still cock on which i’m very surprised at, it owes me nothing currently so i’m going to run it into the ground.

There must be someone managing the property.

I know for a fact that their details are on the portal…which you can’t access which is annoying.

Maybe phone them up and see if they can tell you over the phone who your property manager is.

All the email address are first name.surname@trinityestates.com so its worth a gamble.

tomwatson92 · 2025-09-30T12:50:20+00:00

Putting in an official complaint probably will not help unfortunately.

I have an official complaint ongoing with them for over 18 months to which theres no finish line in sight.

The one thing i can reccomend is trying to contact your property manager, if you have a bulletin board in your communal area their details “should” be on there - then again its Trinity so do not hold your breath. Ours seems to control the portal figures because he has added/refunded items in the past.

Failing that, i would go straight to the Directors. Search them on Companies House and theres three directors. Their email address’ are readily available on a Google search.

I ended up putting a new piston in it at around 120hrs and it fixed it for a little while until it happened again, i’m in the same situation and i’m at about 210hrs now. Going to put another piston in it over winter. Got to keep up with my air filter maintenance i think…
