Although these side lights are on all the time, there are separate DRL's lower down next to the indicators, the same as seen here:

Mk1 Technical : MK1 Low frequency antenna failure

I bought the car at an auction and it only came with 1 key. I am not sure if the fault code is related to remote control.
Yes it suddenly stopped working. On the day it happened it unlocked the car ok, I drove the car for about 10 minutes and when I parked the car the fob wouldn't lock it. I had to use the small key to lock the doors. Everything else is working ok.

They are standard are they?

So your car has DRLs and Sidelights illuminated even with light switch in Off position. I'd have thought it would be redundant with DRLs. Is it some sort of hybrid situation where you have DRLs but the W5W are used for parking or are DRLs on too when parking.

I know this isn't helping you replace the lamps, but curiosity.

Personally I do believe in DRLs but manufacturers could have used LEDs as a sidelight and made that a combined sidelight/DRL.

Well, it seems I was mistaken about the DRL's, a few mins ago I had a look and the lights which I thought were illuminated were not. As it is now dark I can't really test which are DRL's.
[I will provide correct information in a day or two]

But for the purposes of this thread, the side light I am trying to change is not a DRL

I guess you need to find out if its the fob that you have is transmitting or the car not receiving.

I'd check that the B1127 code is for a low frequency antenna, but as I say the remote control operates up in the 433MHz area and that's not low frequency so is unlikely to be affected by a low frequency antennae failure.

If you have keyfree entry (little buttons on the outside driver and passenger door handles), then an antenna in either door may be faulty, or the antennae under the rear bumper. Though your managing to start the engine keyfree, there are about 5 antennae inside the car.

Shouldn't matter if its dark to test the lamps, unless your disturbing the neighbours at your time of night.

Oh yes we know which lamp it is, its the one that comes out easy.Smile

I have been to a specialist and the key is transmitting. There are no little buttons on the driver or passenger doors. Is there a way to test each antenna and also if I have to replace a faulty one, will it need to be paired to the car.

If you have no buttons on your handles then it isn't keyless entry.

OK on the Fob transmitting OK, on this you may need Ford or another specialist to check that the fob's rolling code hasn't gone out of sync with the car or vice versa.

The low frequency antennae which I don't think is causing the problem your having as they are to do with keyless start, but the antennae I believe are one under the rear seat possibly on the back edge of the boot/seat, and also under one flaps of the drivers and passengers seats. I don't know how you would verify they are working without a special receiver capable of monitoring the frequency to check the output near each antennae.

make sure notifications are enabled with sync connection if texts are getting through that's probably ok
what has caught me out on occasion is the last used audio on the phone if you have open a link on a tweet or YouTube spotify etc when music is the last used opening Bluetooth audio usually launches it without touching phone I need max volume on the phone and much higher volume than radio but display shows track names etc

Mk1 Technical : Brake squak / knocking noise after new spring

Subject: Brake squak / knocking noise after new spring
Posted: 02 Jul 2017 at 4:37pm

Just had my 2010 Kuga 163 AWD serviced by Ford at 60k miles.

They found it had a broken front suspension spring.

They couldn't get the part, and as I was in a rush, I took the car away, got a spring from Euro car parts, and took it to an F1 Autocentre to fit it.

I went to pick up the car, and straight away when driving it away, there was a scr*ping noise. I took it back, they jacked it up, and the spring wasn't properly seated in the strut. After rotating it, I drove away again. However, there is still a knocking / squealing noise when I brake. I took it back to the garage. They clearly didn't want to know, told me I had bought the wrong spring, and to give it a while and see 'how it goes'.

Tried heavy braking from speed in case there was debris between the pads and disc.

Got home, took the wheel off, had a really good look. The spring is solid, all the connections are tight, everything appears to be fine. But the noise is still there when braking.

Any ideas? Please help!

Fitted my spoiler today. Was a bit nervous drilling 3 holes in the tailgate but fit the template, measure 10 times and drill once and all was well.
Its a good kit and the instructions are pretty comprehensive.
Perfect fit first time.
I did put a small amount of silicone around the holes and the screw lined up perfectly.
there you go.

How easy is it to change the bulbs in the Headlamps on the MK2.5 2017 Kuga? Does it require the headlamps out or can they be changed whilst attached to the car.

Tried looking on Youtube but no videos on there regarding the MK2.

Thanks
