iceman7329, Sorry for the delay,here are those pictures you requested. Hope they are what you were looking for?

Pjmartin, That could be a good idea but as I said in my original post in the 5 years I have owned my Explorer not only have I driven it in the UK but also annually in France and twice to Spain the last occasion being for 7 months. During ALL that time I know of only two locations, Asda car...

Thanks guy's for your replies and advice,look as if it's a problem that Explorers owners in the UK will have to put up with :( iceman7329 As my original posting said we are currently touring the US and I gave the Explorer to my son, I shall ask him to take a few shots of the interior and...

Until the 14th October 2007 I had owned a UK imported 1997 Ford Explorer RHD for the past 5 years and would buy another tomorrow but for the fact that the wife and I are currently touring the USA in an A class diesel pusher RV. :) On leaving the UK I gave the Explorer to my eldest son who...

Hi Guy's, I could do with some urgent advice as the wife and I are suppose to be travelling to Spain within the next few day's. I own a 1997 4.0ltr SOHC Explorer fitted with a 5 spd auto box I believe it's a 5R55E, the car has done 70,000 mls and the auto box is over due for a filter & oil...

Opera House, Thanks for your reply and the link, I shall print off that picture and revisit my local Ford dealer :hammer: hope this little chap can knock some sense into the parts staff ? LOL

I have owned my 1997 UK Explorer for over 2 years,she has now completed over 77,000 miles so is long over due for an autobox oil change. The car was bought to tow a large caravan, I think you call them trailers :us: Before we sent off on a long drive from England to Spain I think I had...

Can any member of this groups suggest a location from where a UK Explorer owner can buy a set of alloy wheels? A work colleague who also owns an Explorer would love to buy some new alloys aswell. I recently browsed the Explorer Accessories section on E-Bay where I saw a brand new set I...

Mine's a :uk: 1997 4.0 S.O.H.C 5sp auto, leather interior,5 door, Iv'e owned her just over two years,had an LPG convertion done within first 6 months (money well spent) unless you are rich or own an oil well. :) I would buy another tomorrow were we not thinking of moving to Spain soon where...

Hi, I have owned my 1997 RHD British Explorer (not sure which USA model it is similar to?) for just over one year. I received with the car two sets of keys and two alarm / door locking remote control fobs, I have use one daily the other with spare keys was put away for safe keeping. We are...

Just how good (or poor) is the handbrake on the Explorer? I have owned mine one year now and when the hand brake is applied and the auto box put in park the car always moves an inch or two forward or backward depending on any incline, but it then holds,it that normal? Those with LPG...

Talking of UK Explorer spares, visited my local Ford dealer yesterday to buy a new balast, its an electrical device inside the top of the rear door that operates the high level brake light,it has red white 'High Voltage' sticker on it. The dealer ordered it yesterday from the main UK Ford...

Marcus, Welcome to the site, I bought my :exp: about 1 year ago,within a couple of months had it converted to LPG, not cheap but when you can get LPG for 30 pence per litre? To get your convertion money back you need to own the car I would say for at least 4 years,when that time comes I will...

Thanks for the reply Jason,knowing that it has got an oil cooler is a weight off my mind even though it tows the caravan as if its not on the back.With regard to the tank size again no ref in the Haynes manual as to capacity even so the manual is purely for the American spec vehicles so it is...

Hi All, just a single question that is driving me barmy:confused: I am the proud owner of a 1997 4.0 SOHC Explorer 5 speed auto UK / Euro spec. I bought the car in order to tow a large caravan, I believe you call them trailers over there? Well I did a search last night in the threads the subject...

Today Wednesday 24th April as been, I think the warmest day in England UK this year, this has enabled me to check using a thermometer (as per the hand book) if the aircon system is working,however I am puzzled :confused: Does the aircon work all the time?The reason I as is with the temperature...

Thanks Chris and the other guys for the reply, yea I know it may be hassel but it drives me mad when something which should work doesn't. I also visited the thread that Chris suggested and I have made a copy for future ref, however no one has said how you get the bulbs out? do you have to remove...

Just a quickie question or two:) The side light/head light switch on my 1997 Explorer with it being European / British spec is as the steering wheel on the right hand side of the car. Should this switch be illuminated? I have pulled the round knob off and can see two very small round things are...

Two Tone, since receiving your last message I have been listening to this noise that I get from the engine compartment and are now wondering does the Explorer have some sort of pressure relief valve for either the power steering pump or the air con? I have ordered my Explorer 91-2001 repair...

Thanks Two Tone but would you get piston slap on an engine that has only done 45,000 mls? The noise I refer to sounds like a flap closing in the ventilation system? My previous car a Ford Granada Mk 3 ( don't know if they had them in the USA) had a control that allowed you to close off a flap...

Well my RHD Uk Explorer has grey around all wheel arches (fender flares?) and grey about 7" at the bottom of all doors just like in Billy's photo of his car, the remainder of my car is a dark metalic blue.If I knew how to send an attachment with this message I would. I have ordered my 1991 -...

Billy, just viewed your mugshot and picture of your Eddie Bauer Explorer and I am even more:confused: :confused: :confused: as your car looks no different than my UK RHD Explorer so perhaps all the Explorers sent to the UK & Europe were Eddie Bauer's?

See what I mean guys:confused: still learning I saw the model Eddie Bauer and presumed that it was a modified model or what we call over here a Special that has been heavily modified,or is that what an Eddie Bauer is?

Well Duke16 until a couple of weeks ago I would have said the same but since buying one they now appear all over the place. I think they were only introduced into the UK and Europe in RHD form a few years ago and the latest vertion is the North face model which I believe has been around in...

Thanks I will visit my local book shop to see if they have or can get it otherwise I shall try via the internet. Sorry about not reading you message I am still trying to get use to this ??? what do you call it? owners group, newsgroup, owner enthusiast group?
