So the second issue I have at the moment is with the puddle lamp. All great for three months and I know have a wedge shape messing up the clean pony issue

Vospers Exeter have had this on their demo car as well, new part has been ordered but no lead time!!

Anyone else got this?

Apparently the pony template is made of paper. A new design is expected. My dealer already replaced my drivers side puddle lamp.

Can Somone tell me, on this very issue, does the drivers and passenger puddle lamp sit the same distance away from the vehicle?
My Passenger Puddle Lamp Pony sits virtually under the car, but the drivers side sits a nice 30cm out from the bodywork?

This thread just shows how the Mustang has gone from enthusiast car to mass consumer white goods in one step.
Typical teething trouble Steve. It's not like previous generations were perfect our of the box....

More the fact "puddle lights" have become and issue rather than cams and catbacks. wink
And the unfillable fuel tank. Forgot about that until just now.

That was on the S197 05 to 09, to do with the thinness of the tube and the way it was bent under the tank
heard some real horror stories, and what a plonker people must have felt waiting at a petrol station and manging to get a £5 worth if that
Lucky for me, Very Lucky, with my S197 never had any issues, and took her all over Europe
with this one, seems fine, just push the nozzle in, and away you go

I have also found this problem with my driver side door puddle light. I thought it was a novel design but looking at yours it seems quite common. Have you had it changed yet?
