Spanner

[Rex]

I was on Skye and got a spanner displayed. The Ford Pass notification was (as shown) saying I had a Powertrain Malfunction. The nearest Ford Dealer said they could not help and suggested I phone Ford Assist (The AA), I did.
I chap came out and was with me 90minutes after phoning. He admitted in the phone call that he was not trained on the MME but I suggested he plugged in his computer to the car. When he arrived he did that. He said there were lots of faults listed but not one was to do with the power train (The dashboard spanner light was not on when we powered up the car). He used his computer to clear all the faults and then checked they stayed fixed. (Was this the equivalent to Alt/Cntrl/Del?)
Tomorrow I am driving over Applecross Pass. That will reveal if there really is powertrain fault! Watch this space.

Today we drove from Plockton to Applecross. From there we went North to Fearnbeg then back down the A896 to Plockton.
The MME went over Applecross pass beautifully with no problems. 1.2 miles/kWh up, down it registered 99.9 miles/kWh most of the way but ending up at 15.5. It regained 6 miles of range coming down and used about 5% of the range for the 12 miles up and down. All numbers from the car!

No powertrain fault!

It seems some people get this error and the car still works just fine, it might come back again, but if you take it to the dealer, they'll just say its fine lol. Congrats on not having to deal with it, at least not yet!
