They told me to go get a quote from someone of my own choice to get the rear end sorted.Since I'm in west subs of Brisbane for the next 3 weeks I was thinking about taking it into Denmac Ford at indro (where I bought it) and getting them to have a look at it. I took their foreman for a drive today to show him the noises and issues (I just happened to be near when I thought about taking it in)Question, Is this a good idea? Will they stick any info on my record for the car? Will they poke around anywhere else? Even though its not a warranty job?The problems are a rotational knocking noise from the rear when turning sharp right and left, BAD shunt when taking off or backing off, and it feels like the rear brakes are gripping at low speeds. Don't know if any of these things are effecting the ZF box to.Felix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46301-urgent-ford-service-advice-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the repairs are done by an approved repairer it should be ok.

I know we get local smash repairers to do any work a customer needs.

New oil (with friction modifier), problem gone.Just trying to help, but see what ford come up with.
