  1. no the latest one is UHDCAJ7 dont let mr ford fob you off i got this done last month read my posts about this. yes wheel spins at last i like it :) as i said in my posts when i got this upgraded software the car now pulls away not crawls away i was a bit :oops: when trying to keep up with a 2cv dolly from the lights now its like a rocket ok maybe not but the difference is very clear. to think ford send these cars out of the factory like this makes me :x as i have said before how many people out there that are not clued up about this site are driveing around like this 1000s of em. to all that
  2. you are not alone with the clutch burning i has also had this on a hill start it just about gets up a hill at the best of times. take it in and get the ecu updated to UHDCAJ7 this is the new software for the 1.8 petrol engine it has made my car a dream to drive fuel economy has gone up about 20% and it now pulls away fast and true. dont let them fob you off get the ecu software done asap i think it will make a lot of difference.

  4. hi disney first i went down to i.c.e shops to ask about screens dvd player price ect ect and think that they are a rip off some only offer a certain screen dvd player. when i said i wanted 2 c.k.o 6.5in screens sony dvd player 2 infrared headphones ect i was quoted between £1300 to £1795 :shock: it will cost them about £300 max for the dvd screens headphones the rest is profit for about a hours work p*ss takers. so i had a :idea: went on the net 2 screens £150 each, sony dvd player brand new ebay £50, 2 alpine infrared headphones used £10 ebay :lol: you go into these places and hav
  5. there he goes again :) Good luck with your C-Max. You will enjoy it...Changing the gear knob is a whole new experience but we'll break you in (so to speak) gently on this one
  6. hi can anybody tell me whats topgazza and this knob thing all about ? :? i see in his posts he is allways talking about KNOBS or his KNOB there must be over 50 of them where he mentions the word KNOB anybody no? or would topgazza himself like to answer this one. :sheep :?:
  7. hi ffcfocus nice to hear from somebody that has had the same result as me regarding the petrol engine ecu upgrade. when i first got my car 8 months ago i did think it was very sluggish at pulling away from the lights and pulling out of turnings and things alike but did not no better. then finding this forum i have learnt that the c max suffers from this and there is a fix for it ie ecu software update i think ford have got a lot to answer for as the people who dont use this forum will never no about these fixes and so will go on getting crap mpg sluggish
  8. the ecu is for the engine software the other you are talking about is the fix for the instrument cluster the new rom level is 0424. the ecu update on my petrol engine is uhdcaj7 its made my car feel like a new car :D if you have not had a update petrol or diesel get it done now i have looked at other posts and they all say the same. you say your software still says 0422 well when i took my car in they said that they had done the update but it stills says 0422 asked them about this and they said that they had done it asked for it to be done again they did this then they said my car was not up
  9. i have just got my max back from the garage had the horn fixed and rear washer recall all sorted out. i asked for all latest software upgrades and it seems like i have been given a different car its so smooth to drive it now pulls away from the lights not falls away and pulling out of a turning i now dont have worry about getting hit up the pass i was like a :sleeping: oap on a sunday afternoon pulling out of a turning now it moves like a 1.8 engine shouhd move. i dont no how i put up with this for so long the new updated ecu software is UHDCAJ7 this is for the engine update only. fuel has
  10. i have just got this its one off them funky dab digital radios cars all the rage in japan it runs on hamster power no joke this is true it runs around on wheels inside the car no word yet on wheather the hamster runs on unleaded or diesel yet
  11. its not dab its freeview he gets all the free to air channels plus some extra ones what im not allowed to say sorry :oops:
  12. my little girl was 4 when i got them i slid down to her height in the seat to test what her viewing angle was like and yes there was a little distortion in pq but i changed the seat height and angle and was ok a cushion can help as well. she now is fine when viewing.
  13. with your camel leather the sony screens would have been perfect but as i found out the hard on your pocket way they are 2cm to big at the top of the headrest.
  14. no the pictures make them look like there on a worse angle than they are. picture 7 shows you that they are pretty upright. if you sit in the back they are perfect if you slip down in the seat the res goes down a little but not nothing to worry about but you must get good screens not cheap crap from ebay saying high res 334456 million pixels xga from hong kong. some screens tilt in the bezel for better viewing angles but i have had no trouble with a mate, my 10 year old and 5 year old kids watching in the back all getting the same good viewing angle.
  15. heres a picture of my mates new car plus i told him to post on here first and ask about his air/con not working before he done this diy job :shock:
  16. thanks but i did not do a very good job on the outside
  17. hope this is not a waste of time i have been trying to get these pictures uploaded here goes. first sorry about the unwashed car i was going to take it for a car wash+ valet but the police went in there and took them all away :roll: these screens are the only 6.5in screens that will fit into a c max headrest as of 6 months ago 2 c.k.o nessa 6.5in screens sony mobile dvd player alpine infra red headphones. hope you like the pictures any info just ask.
  18. uploaded pictures on photobucket how do i get them on here now. whats that about as i cannot get this to work
  19. :?: anybody no how i can upload some pictures on here
  20. how do i upload these picture on here
  21. no re-shaping needed make sure you get the right size screens 2 cm in from the top is ok. as c max headrests are smaller at the top then the bottom so if you buy the wrong size screen it will stick out at the top. if you go to a ice shop they will do all the work for you. but this means that they choose the screens and all that.
  22. i looked around for ages to get screens that fitted flush as the c max headrest are a funny shape and size 5in screens will fit ok but you need 6.5in screens for real viewing. you can get a done from ice shops but what they charge is a liberty buy you own screens get a trimmer to fit them then take them to them to fit the wires or ask a mate 1/2 price. im useing the rear sun blinds as security + tinted windows till i get headrest covers.
  23. yes my wheels on a real car. i was going to buy my c max from matlock ford but to far from london.
