Taking it to Ford tomorrow to have a look at it. Every bump you go over it makes a thumping noise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 2m Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 02/12/02 12:15 AM Share Posted 02/12/02 12:15 AM Makes you wonder what the dealers do with your car when it enters that 2 - 3 day black hole called pre delivery. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they wash it and give it a vac, but what do they ACTUALLY do?Take it for a flog?Pretty much so! I think these people take any chance they've got to drive our cars. 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
