What you wanna know? Had a run into Germany last year and managed a staggering 165mph(on sat nav) before backing off. Was still pulling strongly too. The reason it went was I never used it enough TBH. 18 months, 3k on mods and under 5k miles.
New addition to the family so got a new family barge (disco 3) which luckily is perfect for towing the radical.

Great move with the Clubsport. Friends who have owned/raced them reckon that they twist your perspective of handling and response beyond anything else.

Keep us posted

(Good luck too)

No real problems at all with mine, some have suffered a slight engine hesitation and fords have now done 4/5 different maps to solve this issue as well as a few others. One was called HARD BRAKE PEDAL, what this was really is at altitude some cars suffered all they did was alter pressure's in the chamber by reflashing a new map.
Headlight washer covers fall off on earlier cars, this is easily fixed with 2 small cable ties.

some suffer from window rattles, if window is open 2/3" it does sound awful, mine had this but TBH mine was a bit noisier than most so never really noticed much.

other than that all good.
