As I wont be going back to Fords service dept anytime soon, mate (name
and number available!) and I have decided to do the Forscan mod. I
believe it'll cost $125 each. chicken feed. Not even a tank of fuel.
Just some of the vast array of options...

FORscan mods Raptor / Ranger / Everest

-Door open Chime removal all models
Yep I can tell when my door is open, thanks.

-Smart charge disable all models
Yep, no good if you have a second battery: never charges battery to
capacity, just charges it enough to start. stupid idea to save fuel.

-Tyre Pressure (TPMS) disable if no sensors
N/A already has it and it works.

-12V outlet time extension
Meh. dont use it. Have LIFEPO4 battery

-Silent mode (no lights at all turn on when using remote) Selectable
Meh dont use remote as such...

-Extension of blinker flashes (3,4,5,6 or 7) all models
Meh Why? oh, soft push ie change lanes.. whooppee.

-Disable Seatbelt chimes all models
Yep!!! should be owner selectable via menu

-Disable front and/or Rear Sensors if required
Meh Dont have any. Thankfully.

-Auto lock (20km/h)feature addition
Meh not interested.

-Disable double beep (from horn) when leaving car with proximity remote
in pocket Yep. a stupid idea. Neighbours love it @ 6am. Not.

-Auto Stop/Start disable 2L Bi-Turbo
YEP!!!! Worth the money right there...!!

-DPF status in r/h dash screen
N/A to me, maybe Raptor... dash changed to single menu in XLT
with MY 21.75

Thinking of looking into Forscan, but I thought there was some hang-up
in dealing with them due to Russian connections. The other thing is I'll
wait until I get the car and see how much it annoys me before I throw
money at it.

The stupid prick has to *throw money at it* in order to first buy it.
You would think these decisions would be made *before* purchase, not
after. Afterwards is a bit late.

I also find it *ironic* that the two *defenders of the Navara* have both
forsaken the Navara for something that is, *essentially*, the very same
thing. Looks like the Navaras weren't up to snuff after all.
As expected.

If you intend doing any off-road work where you need to reduce tyre
pressures it's useful to disable it otherwise the alarm / fault code,
or whatever, will annoy the shit out of you. In which case you might
also need to remove the sensors.

Wasn't aware of any issues.. apparently, the guy with the dongle is in
Sydney. He'll send it to my mate up near Donnybrook, who will deliver it
to me at work when he comes through, I'll do the deed, and hand it back
to him on queens b/day weekend up the block, and he'll do his upgrade
when he gets home.. Bit convoluted, but we get both Rangers done at a
cheaper price.... Needs a solid 4G phone connection, so it was suggested
city type mobile connection rather than do it together up the block...
$125 to shut the chimes up.. hardly an impost.

Get some ear plugs. So many chimes/warnings/blah.... And I get it. Some
are up for the simplistic shit I hate, like the engine on/off.. some are
up for simple shit like rear seat occupant warning.... Really? Why? I
can see if there's anyone in the back seat. Thats what mirrors are for!!
Turn it off, and it proudly says it will ask me again in 6 months! FUCK OFF!

To get into my block in Gippsland, I need to go through two gates..
think of all the warnings... get out, ding ding, door open: ding ding,
engine on, ding ding, Beep Beep from the fucking horn if the key is in
your pocket... get back in... No seat belt, engine on, door open, blah
blah. Do it all again at next gate. That is why Forscan exists... *all*
of this shit should be available to the *owner* to set on/off... And
apparently Fords are not alone in this... but the fanbois would like to
think so... Yet as I said, up to the running boards in mud, and it did
what it was supposed to do. With highway tyres. Very happy.

On the other side, my ranga is VERY economical, (currently doing 9.6l
per 100klms city cycle, better on the way to the block), it's quiet,
comfortable, roomy, goes like a cut cat in sport mode, and has a decent
sized screen, Fordpass, DAB+, a tray capacity of around 950kg ( had
630kg in it this morning! ) and it just works. I'd buy another in a
heartbeat.

Have a Garmin Dash Cam, which has captured some spectacular fuck-ups,
but didnt help matters after the service, when it started producing an
alarm that the card needed to be formatted after 15 months... nearly got
thrown out the window... :-D

Nothing wrong with the stuff Ford has dished up for the average uner.

Sorry, *shit-fer-brains*, do you mean me? (spectacular killfail fail
right there, shit-fer-brains) As a previous owner of a Navara, I found
the model I bought 11 years ago to be exactly what was advertised. No
issues whatsoever. No timing chain problems, no bent chassis problems;
all of which seem to be a dream made up by the likes of the Toyota
fanbois... Some navara's *OVERSEAS* may have had issues, but the
chariot I choose was flawless. Sold it for 1/2 the cost i paid after 10
years. Bought a Ford because

Bwahahahahahahhaha Looks like they were, shit-fer-brains. YOU have had
no experience (transferred, or otherwise ) with a Ford Ranger, or a
Nissan Navara... your "experience" is owning a little shopping trolley,
and reading others complaints on the net... and perhaps fitting some
wiper blades.

Contrary to your cretinous stupid belief, my Ranger (*and* the now sold
Navara) hasn't had any bits fall off it (!), is capable of getting over
a speed hump without needing a push :-) , doesn't sound like a wet fart
when pushing the go pedal, can carry up to 800kg in the back, didn't
break it's back chassis wise, and hadnt snapped a timing chain at
100,000 km. Was a great chariot. Would have looked at another Navara,
except their screen size was the same size as your IQ, and were a bit
austere compared to the (then) new Ranger XLT cab chassis. Never mind
*at the time*, the only mob who did a Cab chassis 4 door 4wd was Ford
and (from memory) Mitsubishi. But you knew all this, didn't you, shit
fer-brains?

Cheers... I dont plan anything serious 4wd wise, just getting in and out
of the block. I must admit, Fords system of swapping in/out of 4wd is a
lot simpler than Nissans; all is displayed onscreen.. no sitting there
waiting for a clunk. :)

Not at all.

On the Forscan website there was something about licence subscriptions
being temporarily suspended due to sanctions imposed on Russian
transactions.

I'll have to have another read.

ROTFL :)

The Santa Fe does it in spades. It fucking beeps if you fart to let you
know that there is a risk of you shitting yourself. The thing that
pisses me off about it is not so much that it beeps, but that you get no
clue what the beep is for. Often there is some random beeping for some
fucking thing, bot no accompanying light or other message to tell you
what it's going off about.

Absolutely agree. By all means make it available for people who *want*
it, but have it selectable for the people who don't. I mean, I get
making things safer for people, but I don't need to be spoon fed. The
way cars are these days it's a wonder anyone survived back in the days
of nothing more than 3 idiot lights and a rubber floor mat....

Lol :)

Yet *another* point I like about the Ranger: The mini USB port up on the
windscreen for dashcam power. Nice thinking.

Buy a Hilux tray and you don't even get a reverse camera :)

Had he ever owned anything more than the poverty pack base model he
would be aware that these things are standard equipment across the board
and you don't get to pick and choose which ones you want.

For a mong who professes to be an automotove expert he really is pretty
clueless.

Same here. The Navara has been excellent, and all the "faults" these
fucktards cite as being "common" seem to exist nowhere but in their
penis envy affected heads.

Fun fact:

This ridiculous lump of trade irrelevant shit often cites other people
as being "concrete thinkers", yet he seems completely incapable of
appreciating that some people base their purchase choice on what they
*like* best, rather than what they think *is* best. He'll continually
role from one base model Corolla to the next because he blindly thinks
that Toyota make the best car on Earth, but in order to subscribe to
that view he'll happily drive around in the *shittiest* thing they make
all while being completely oblivious to the alternatives.

Meanwhile "concrete thinkers" like you and me will just go out and buy
what we actually like best, without giving a flying fuck who makes it :)

Of course he did. He knows *everything*. Well, as much as Google can
tell him, anyway.

My view is the same as yours. I couldn't care less who's car I bought as
long as it met my needs/wants and I was happy with it. It was the same
when I bought the Navara as at the time I thought it was the best thing
out there, and even to this day it is *still* a brilliant ute with a
fantastic engine that drives exceptionally well. I couldn't have cared
less if it was made by Nissan or anyone else. I just liked that model,
and just because I did *doesn't* mean I automatically think *everything*
Nissan makes is fantastic. That's the mindset of mentally defective base
model Corolla drivers.

No fucking wonder this ridiculous cuntox was a Marina fanboi. They were
one of the ugliest, most unreliable and unloved cars ever sold in this
country and only someone with a *severe* lack of self worth would ever
want to surround himself with them :)

It seems you continually "role" (sic) from one concrete thought to another.

FFS Darren, yet again you prove you have no clue what *concrete
thinking* is. Did I mention that concrete thinkers totally lack any form
of insight. You fit 100%.

And you won't buy another because it is a heap of shit and you confirmed
this by your period of ownership.

They were cheap and reliable, within limits, and allowed me to allocate
funds to more important matters, like *investments*, in the early days
of my marriage.

I make the point yet again, here you are harping on about trade
relevance. You do that because you are trade *irrelevant*. All you've
ever been is a pimple on the arse of the motor trade and that's all
you'll remain as long as your arse points down.

There is a reason Navara sales have tanked.

Too many previous owners got burned - big time.

What a whinging hypocrite.
You've perpetually bagged a whole fleet of certain manufacturers without
ever having owned any of their models Fraudster. (And I strongly suspect
never even driven).

> For a mong who professes to be an automotove expert he really is pretty
> clueless.

Lol.
An "automotive expert" like yourself eh Fraudster?
Remember when you not once, but *twice*, brayed that Audis' were 'too
expensive' and that to get the Audi-equivalent performance of the Kia
Stinger you would have to spend $150k for an Audi A7? Of course you don't
recall. I was being ironic. Anyhoo, twice it was pointed out to you that
the Audi S3 had maginally better performance (a lot better in the wet) for

Like many of your dogmatic brays, I was unsure if you were trolling or just
being lazy & thick. Not that I care, either way the bottom line is that you
look an idiot. And a longggg way from being an "automotive expert".

The best argument for Toyota fourby superiority is that they appear to be
the vehicle of choice for 90% of terrorists/freedom fighters.

Our VW has plenty of warning lights but no warning chimes, odd thing is
the car has a stop/start function but it never works when I drive the
car, wife says it sometimes works for her.
Its possible the battery is OE and the car thinks that the battery is a
problem so it turns off but never had an issue starting the car, oddly
the car fixed its most annoying problem all by itself:-)
My old Hilux had a door open warning chime but disabling it was very
simple, just find the chime speaker which is located under the dash near
the steering column and pull the plug, might be just as easy to do the
same on the Ranger.

Look up how the tyre pressure monitoring works, I checked the Golf tyre
pressures a couple of days ago before we drove to Bendigo to see the
Elvis exhibition, pressures were down a bit so I wondered why no warning
and the valve stems look normal so I wondered if they had removed the
sensors when new tyres were fitted but I found out that it doesn't have
sensors in the tyres.
It monitors the tyres via the ABS speed sensors, if one wheel turns at a
different speed to another it assumes that one tyre is down on pressure.
Ford may do it differently so worth checking how the Ford tyre
monitoring system works.

Way too many. Slow learners I guess! ;-)

I did like it when Darren said he test drove an LDV T60 without
realising it was Chinese made. Oh the irony.

Ah, so that's why Darren was considering an LDV T60 ute, he *liked it*.
Talk about concrete thinking, perfect example right there. Personally, I
wouldn't be considering anything Chinese at this juncture and definitely
not while they are still making Toyotas in Japan..

Don't you just love how he lathered it onto Triumphs, in particular the
2.5 PI, purely because my friend Joe had one. If you ever needed any
insight into Darren's *concrete thinking processes*, you got it right there.

There are *PLENTY* of reasons why Navara sales have tanked. The *two*
reasons you supplied, and shit-fer-brains agreed with (Wot a surprise!)
Timing chains haven't manifested themselves in Navara's in Aus since
2010 (says 4 Nissan mechanics. Names and numbers available) 12 years
ago, and the timing chain issue was sorted with the YD25 engine, which
mine had, as I have explained before. The bent chassis were put down to
Spanish built Navara's on salted roads in Europe, which were never sold
here, as you would/should know. *The Thai built* Navara's sold in
Australia have had no such issues.

I would offer that Navara sales have "tanked" in Australia in the face
of more upmarket utes being available. Not offering a cab-chassis model
for 8 years, poor fit-out and finish of the RX model (rubber mats for
fucks sake.), poor fuel economy, playing catch-up with other brands...
(in my case, as I have explained previously, I had 4 Ford utes, until I
needed a 4 door 4wd cab chassis; Toyota were *way* overpriced, and their
sales droid had a very poor attitude, Ford didnt do one, Mitsubishi were
like a MG.. cheap and nasty. Chose the Navara, and was *trouble free*
for 10 years. One code popped up and dissapeared. In 10 years. Only sold
it because I wanted to retire with a 2 year old vehicle, not a 12 year
old one. Tax benefits to buy a new bus at the time too certainly
helped... :-D

So you say. Not this one, and to me, thats all that matters. A previous
owner, happy with his purchase. No bent chassis, no rattly timing chain.

In fact, the guy who bought it couldn't believe his luck. He went over
it for an hour, and all he could find was the rear spring shackle
rubbers. Which the mob who did the roadworthy picked as well. That was
all it needed for the roady. If Nissan had produced a Navara with a cab
chassis, a bigger screen, carpet, bluetooth stereo with DAB+, and things
like adaptive cruise, I probably would have bought one. But they didnt
at the time. Their loss. Fords gain. *THATS* why their sales "tanked" in
the face of their opposition. IMHO.
