Quality Quality Quality

In regard to your clunking in the rear end. I had this problem in my BA XR8 & it was the exhaust hitting the rear suspension on mainly left hand corners. The problem was never fixed up to the time of getting rid of the car. Steering wise it always had some sort of shimmy even from new which was put down to tyres being out of round. I will be taking great interest in checking my car for some of your complaints on quality when I pick mine up. It's appears that Ford quality control is still RS.

I went to have the tail lights replaced today to find the other 7 brand new ones they had in stock where also damaged in the same way so there was no point after 3 hours of waiting to have them replaced after all. Some of the other new ones were even more damaged and when I went back to the dealer we looked at his current stock of new cars on the showroom floor and there all damaged as well.

I will start a new topic on this as it appears to be inherant on the BF's.

I got a brand new GT at the start of Feb and have had the airbag light looked at three times, well make that the 4th time as its playing up again. A bit P^%&&*( off to be honest. Not sure why it needs 4 attempts.

Yeah good idea, im not sure how they will come out. Most are only light scratches behind the red brake light lens.

So they are scratches on the inside of the lens?

Sounds weird, unless they are stress fractures. This can be caused by an incorrect mix in the resin being subject to extremes in temperatures.

I think they might have been made by some form of tool as they all appear in the same region apart from one of my tail lights which was peeling. I dont think its Ford, I think its the supllier and there quality control being up to poo.

My headlights are cracking/bubbling where the light beam goes through, on both sides. I've looked at other cars and none seem to have it.

Another thing to get them to look at.
