It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. I tested the 180bhp 2.0 bitdi Amarok before ordering our current Wildtrak. It was horrible, very wheezy, no low down torque and it drove more like a petrol. Towing with it would have been very tedious. It seems VW listened to their customers, as they a...

You certainly don't want to do that IF yours has the DPF fitted.....

Ours is a Wildtrak PX1, which has sensors for the auto wipers and lights in etc, plus it's heated. No issues with the replacement yet.

Sorry to be of no help, but do you have a link to the app or webpage you're using for that calculator, looks pretty slick.

Normalbloke

We've just had ours replaced here in the U.K. Under warranty, as the heated area was below par. Somebody mentioned a figure of £1750 for the cost of the glass.....

Welcome to this great Forum Tim. We're still waiting on that pic of your new Ranger - whole of vehicle, in focus, from the sunny side please and with something interesting background (but no other vehicles). That should at least get you a 6/10! ;) Sunny side? The chap is in Scotland, you might have...

Yeah, still silly waiting times. Ordered it march was told initially 3-4 months. Then was given a build date for end of oct in Aug. At that point I asked if they could get any other ones sooner with same spec and so ended up with black, oh and it's euro6, although I don't know if that's a good thin...

Normalbloke

Are they still quoting ridiculous lead times in the UK? I had that b/s 18 months ago waiting for my Wildtrak.

Normalbloke

Already been discussed somewhere on here. All Rangers here in the UK have been Euro 5 for a while( mine is a MY 2015) and needs no adblue. I believe adblue is mostly used on Euro6.

What's with the big rubber stops in the parking spaces??..... I think I know the answer but almost in disbelief....

Normalbloke

But no mention of the bulldozer that actually did the hard work??

G'day Tom Welcome to this great site ! Just curious mate - over there - do you buy a Wildtrak to go 4wdriving or to do laps around the M25 in style ? :) Where abouts do you go 4wdriving over there ? Don't forget the mandatory pics when you get your new beast. All the best Danger aka Gazz LOL, well ...

I'd check the bulbs are fitted correctly, not bent, nor mounted upside down. It's a ham fist to fit one inverted, but I've seen it done.....

Also agreed. I used to use Ram mounts in my Unimog for mapping with an ipad. Not cheap but definitely the best I could find.

Good luck with that,seems to be Ford's SOP. I ordered a Sea Grey Wildtrak in Nov '14, and was promised a March delivery. It finally arrived in June.

Normalbloke

Can we have a photo of those suicide doors??

Normalbloke

Front on, with the new grill and bonnet protector, I'm afraid to say it looks a little Dame Edna.....

Normalbloke

I think the UK must be a bit of a dumping ground for the excess right hand drive old models. That concerns me about the stated delivery time though. The local dealer reckons he's got dealer-ordered models coming in during Christmas week and offered me one of those but he's specced it with the rolle...

Normalbloke

I wish you well. Your order sounds very familiar! We ordered from one of the biggest U.K Ford dealers in Nov 2014. Sea Grey Wildtrak.We were promised(falsely) a March delivery. We finally got it early June. The original salesperson should have been telling us a 9 month delivery, he no longer works f...

You are very patient, personally I do not want to be in possession of my Ranger outside of warranty. Dito every make. :) if that's how you feel. Cheers, Butch. We are in the same mindset here in the UK. We like the truck, but it's built cheaply and down to a price(3.2 Wildtrak manual). We don not w...

Normalbloke

Welcome! Truck looks great! Sea Grey here too, south UK!

Normalbloke

Ours is called The Fraud. Just to differentiate it from our other Ford pickup(1956 F100). Plus to reflect the b/s we got from the initial sales monkey.

Normalbloke

Nobody yet commented on the dual batteries mentioned in the above spec or are you all still celebrating the cricket??

Normalbloke

We've just taken delivery of a 3.2 Wildtrak here in the UK. It's a lovely truck. Couldn't be happier with it. However, we have chosen to lease ours. We have crunched the numbers many times,and factoring in depreciation and post warranty liability, leasing was the right decision for us. We also made ...

Normalbloke

We went for the Sea Grey. Drove an auto demo and went manual in the end. Biggest gripe was the bull from the original salesman( now no longer a Ford salesman!) telling us when ordering in Nov for an end of Feb delivery. Vehicle turned up end of June. I hope your supplier has been more upfront!

Normalbloke

Howdy fella, UK here too(Sea Grey Wildtrak) Good luck with your mod quest. When did you order your Wildtrak?

Simplest solution, make a mental note.

Normalbloke

That's not bad. We ordered mid Nov, and were promised an end of Feb delivery. The vehicle is currently still on a boat with a mid June estimated delivery.... This was ordered in the UK.

Normalbloke

Good luck with the delivery! Wher are you located? How long did the dealer suggest the delivery would take?

Normalbloke

The UK models have what's called a coated DPF. Basically it's a unit that does the job of a DPF and a catalyst in one. It's right up almost next to the turbo. However, on another thread I asked if the Aus market had DPFs fitted to the Ranger, and was told not. So who knows!

Normalbloke

We're only leasing. I have no intention of owning another modern vehicle to be honest. The post warranty liability is massive. Funnily enough, a road trip to Scotland will we one of our first missions in it!

Normalbloke

Hey Bones, mine me asking how long it took from order to delivery?

Normalbloke

Hi Scottish, nice truck. I'm down at the other end of the island. I'm waiting for a 3.2 Wildtrak manual to arrive. How long did you have to wait from order to delivery just out of interest?
Very jealous of the snow too!
