Well Hello There Fellow Technicians And Hivers!


The Dreaded One!

If I said that I went into work today all excited for this one... well then I'd be lying!

The Famous Ford Kuga! Yeah those that just randomly caught flames! Well truth be told it wasn't as big an issue as everyone made it out to be back in the day! Laughs!

Truth be told a lot of car brands catch fire, they just try to hide it very well! With success of-course!

The case with these, well I just don't like working on them, I really don't! It's a hassle through and through and every little thing you do you end up in some sort of a struggle! ALWAYS!

What can I do? Keep complaining? Nah Let's get the job done!
It looks a lot like mine right? Just more SUV?

The Big Brother!

They don't have any resemblance to one another at all! This has a wet clutch and mine a dry clutch. Also this thing is pure automatic mine is just an electrical manual! Now honestly, I'd have liked it a great deal more if my car had this transmission fitted!

It would have been glorious!

They are a bitch though! They really are!
Notice that shining pointy thing in the center of the bellhousing? I'm not sure what it's called, probably a key way?

Well that key way can really give you a headache! I bet most people don't even know that you need to have it aligned before joining it to the motor!

Trust me, you never get it done first try!

Laughs! Never!

The Struggle Was Real!

I feel that this vehicle has won me! It really has! Even as I am writing this up the thought of this car just sickens me! 🤣 I don't mean to sound like a complaining kid, I even told Bossman that I am very much irratated with this car I will do the last thing tomorrow!

Oh yeah, the last thing. Also mine own fault! I suppose that is what frustrated me so much because I knew what I was getting myself into!

Loving the shiny and clean part where we worked!

Look At That!

I remember bashing this thing out some weeks back! I forgot to fix this mistake and now it just adds to the pile. 🤣 That is unfortunately what it is at the moment! I got to clean that bent part to the right up and re-thread it. It wont be that much of a problem really, neither is it that much work it just adds up on the pile as I said.

And the pile is already big xD

I have never seen this model in Panama, probably an EU model only? Assemble on Taiwan and Spain dont think they get here, Fords can be a headache, escape, fiesta...since we only get Edge and Explorer at the shop, very rare get a sedan or small sub, very little parts available too

Must be... we don't even have the escape... explorer or edge available in our country...

Must an EU thing, however im in Africa so not sure... they can be a headache of that you are correct😀😅

If you solve this problem at first, it will not make you experience this. I am happy you finally fine the solution to it. Weldone

That bar in the last photo had better days than I spent there they hit it or squeezed it wrong and it stretched?

It got hit with a hammer 😀 my own fault but I fixed it up good 🫠🫠
