• How do I repair sun damage to roof rails on a 2015 Ford Everest?

  Your Everest would have come brand-new with a three-year/100,000km warranty which has now well and truly expired. So you can forget about Ford contributing to the cost of repairs.

  Roof racks cop a pretty hard life in some cases, and damage to their coating or paint is not uncommon. Even if it's just the effects of UV radiation (rather than physical damage) roof racks are in the direct firing line of the sun's rays for a lot of the time.

  The best advice would be to get an automotive spray painter to repaint the roof rails in a durable product that matches the original finish. This shouldn't be difficult for any professional shop and would return the car's appearance to new, providing the rails are the only blemished areas.

• Ford Everest 2015: Turbo error

  You were right on the limit of the Everest, close to both the towing limit and the GCM limit, so you needed to be mindful of that when towing and you shouldn't be towing in the overdrive ratios. It sounds as thought the transmission was overheating, which suggests the Everest is borderline for cooling when operating at its supposed limits. Anyone planning to tow in a similar loading situation should consult a towing specialist before they go to make sure they're fully prepared for the trip. Maybe the Everest needs extra transmission cooling. To be fair to the Ford dealers they can't diagnose a problem that isn't presenting itself at the time the car is in their workshop. As a consumer your best option if the carmaker isn't being helpful is to go to the consumer affairs department of your state government.
