According to this : CarBuddy.com.au - Car Specifications - 2010 FORD TERRITORY the turning circle on a Territory is 11.4m!

Hmmmm, Interesting.
So it appears that having 19's will increase your turning circle by around 2 (two) metres. Wow!
No wonder you guys with 19's are crying about your turning ability.

Fitted a S3 INTERCOOLER on the weekend with the help of Sammy 125TDI. On removing the front bumper I found the line that supplies the water for the passenger side headlight washer that runs across from the drivers side is held in place with about 6 or so 'cable ties'.

OK, one for the "Tech Heads"
Is it possible to rearrange the toggle buttons forward of the gear stick.
Obviously these are set as per LHD and are not changed for RHD cars.
It would be nice to have them running right to left as opposed to left to right.
For example you can't see ACC switch when in Park.
Thoughts Guys?

People have installed new buttons for various function in there, so i see no reason why you can't swap the positions around. I think you have to pull a fair bit of the center console and gear shifter apart iirc.
