Cro Flower Power Lifetime Members 6,114 Member For: 22y 3m 25d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 26/05/04 06:56 AM Share Posted 26/05/04 06:56 AM After a long time being pissed off at Gadan, Ford, service departments, myself, etc.. I am finally getting somewhere!!!I just picked up my car from Gregory's Braddon...Things that were done:Replace auto transmissionReplace drivers seat baseTighten Aircon vent thingo's behind ventsRe-flash the BEM45,000km service (minus the oil and air-filter change which they forgot to do, but did for me once I told them)Off-car injector clean.What can I say.....to say that I'm stoked is a massive understatment!!! :DMy very first problem has been fixed 11 months after I first noticed it (the day after I picked up the car).Gear changes are instant (up and down), the seat base doesn't creak anymore, and Gadan goes like a rocket!!!Bring on WSID AGAIN!He is noticably faster from take off, and rolling starts.There are still a few more bits and pieces to go through, but this is the happiest day of Gadan's life!!I'm in love again Thank you Gregory's Ford!!!!

You just know, though, that I'm not going to let you get away without one "observation" ... I've always had a theory about why the seat "might" have been creaking when you were sitting in it ...

You know what I mean)Glad to hear your car is running better than new! Just had the 15,000km service done and even after that it feels better.Good to hear someone is actually having a win from Ford!
