'98 Ex Vs. 2000 Ex by Simon H
I have just been offered a good trade-in deal on my 1998 4.0 SOHC 4X4 against a 2000 4.0 North Face spec Ex. Putting aside the various trim options are there any major differences in the things to look out for when buying a 2000 Ex? I know about inspecting brake discs (rotors, to you in the USA),...

Please can someone tell me how to get the rear hatch open on my explorer. The window opens fine. I could make necessary adjustments to the mechanism, if only I could get the hatch open. Yes Ford has done it again!

'99 Explorer Fuel pressure problem by Tim South
I've been doing some troubleshooting on my Explorer recently. It suffers from the hard to start problem as many others do. Sure enough, I found that the fuel rail pressure bleeds to zero almost instantaneously after it's shut off. The other interesting thing is that the fuel pressure reads 64PSI...
