• Ford Kuga 2013: How to improve high-beam headlights?

  From my personal experience, Hella makes a great range of both HID and LED driving lamps. I'd lean to HID for best long-range penetration. Get a professional to do the installation to ensure the wiring is right and also there is no shake in the lamp mountings.

• Ford Kuga 2013: Aftermarket electric brakes for towing?

  We contacted Ford for their advice and they told us that "that as the electric brake controller would have been an aftermarket fitting it would need to be fitted by a technician with a thorough understanding of vehicle electronic systems and access to the Kuga workshop manual. The controller for the electric brakes needs to be wired correctly into the vehicle electrical system. If connected incorrectly it may damage the vehicle's electrical system." Clearly the person doing the installation has got it wrong and the damage to your car's electronics is the result. You need to resolve it with the person who did the installation.

• Ford Kuga 2013: AWD fuel consumption

  I'll start by assuming the fuel consumption figures you quote are in L/100 km, not km per litre. The quoted fuel consumption figure is 7.7-8.0 L/100 km, but remember that this is a guide only based on a laboratory test and not real life. While the real life consumption should be somewhere near the quoted lab test number it depends on a number of factors, from the way you drive, the driving conditions, tyre inflation pressures, state of tune of your car etc. It should be better than it appears to be, so I would talk to the dealer and ask what can be done to reduce the consumption to a more acceptable level.
