Not for now anyway. Not without a stig that's for sure Alot of work went into tinyplums ute to get into the 10's. You've more then proved that the little huffers can do it.

Nechromar Member 104 Member For: 15y 8m 15d Posted 12/07/10 01:58 PM Share Posted 12/07/10 01:58 PM I know I should've known better from reading these forums..But I decided to take my car in to Southside Ford.Because I could walk home..vs going to aftermarket tuner...Could not believe it..$375 later..After reading on here that it would be $210 at BPS...I was thinking around $250...Then they charge $75 for semi synthetic oil and it is Caltex brand? WTF!...I lodged a complaint.Nothing heard from since.Decided to rotate my tyres over paying at the dealer to do it...I find 6 ridges in my front right disc...Never seen that in my life and at 16000 kms..Ridiculous...This time I take it back to Metro Ford where I bought it from.Expecting they would put new front discs on...No it took them 10 hours to machine it..Ridges still there..and not even put new pads on.Just buff them back....Fuming much! And they pick up 3 weeks after the original service..That made no mention of this..That the battery is on the way out..Only comes with 12 month guarentee from new...But they would be more than happy to send me a new battery with a 3 year warranty....Good work on leaving me stranded in the future.Considering at the low km's I do,I would not need to go for another service this year./end rant.

Posted 12/07/10 09:31 PM Share Posted 12/07/10 09:31 PM that's sh*tty mate, but just seems to be the go with Ford Service. They really have no reason to care as 95% of drivers dont really care about their riving and as such have no interest in the ins and outs of owning a car. They buy a new car and will jsut take it back for its service as most think they have to for warranty.Personally im now going out of my way to use an independent workshop as the customer service is better and at a cheaper cost. Little things are also bought to my attention that dont really matter but just shows the mechanics are looking over everything.I went to Metro last week to get a new gear lever fitted (only been waiting 6 months after they damaged it). I wanted to do it myself but was told "No". But I asked them if they could drain and refill my clutch fluid whilst they were at it and they wanted $88.

Cost of rotors to Ford is about the same price as a brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't be expecting a great deal of difference sorry.Up until my last service I was more than happy with Metro, still a good price but the attitude and crap that went with it was a new experience. Let me know if you find somewhere decent around the city James as I think I'll be going down that path for the next logbook service Shame none of the well known tuners are handy to work or home otherwise that'd be the first option.
