I wish I had the time to take on the cruise control role, however having kids and having a wife that is jealous of the ford is noy a good thing.

I am unable to fulfill the position, so someone else is going to have to pickup the slack.

you would have more time than me, and I manage to get a few out.

and one for Ralphie

G'day WA....

left the good state that was home for so long, and based in Vic now, but, I know this page gets good traffic, and good oppions.

car is headed in for warranty work, again, before I try to sell it.

#diffbush, which has killed the centre tail shaft bearing too.

power steering rack is leaking... which was worked on under warranty under 6 months ago.

exhaust manifold leak at the turbo. sounds so bad now, people think I've installed a crank inspection hole with a rod.
shifter is falling apart. top gel cap has fallen off. leather trim spins, and is coming out from under the top cap.

but the one I'm not to sure on, is brake rotors.

I've just been told they have heat cracks through the rotor.
now, I don't beat up on the brakes. some hard stops, yes, but nothing that would be considered abuse. emergency situations. occasional quick stops. half hearted 'spirited' driving. but never lean on them, have never had brake fade, no mountain passes at mach 1 etc. so I'm stumped as to how they are failing.

would you think that's a fair part for them to replace?
as an idea. it's at 70,000kms, and still has plenty of OEM brake pad in it.
car has clocked up plenty of hwy miles too.

They will probably just say it's part of wear and tear I'd imagine!
