Taking it to Ford tomorrow to have a look at it. Every bump you go over it makes a thumping noise. :( Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/233-problems-already/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they wash it and give it a vac, but what do they ACTUALLY do?Check suspension?4 wheel alignment?Take it for a flog?Got to wonder.

Funny how I took my car to a dealership for an oil and and oil filter change (I live VERY close to them so it's convenient) and it had some 20-30km extra on the clock when I picked it up!Next time, I'm sticking around till they fix it up, and I recommend the same to everyone if you've got the time. Get your cars services on Saturday guys and stay there while they do it!
