I check all the vitals under hood when low windscreen washer level light shows, otherwise the bonnet stays shut! : What a car!

I am aware of the failsafe mode on the AU, how the computer alters ignition to let you limp home, a great thing, far above anything on the equivalent holden, however my car is on gas, so It won't work. That's also why gas cars don't have the traction control. Or they shouldn't have according to Ford.


The gas apparently plays havoc with the ignition being altered in failsafe mode.
