I guess im lucky to have not brought a lemon after owning 2 ba's and 1 bf I think ill wait till the series 2 fg comes out before buying 1 for sure....

midnight Member 62 Member For: 16y 6m 10d Gender: Male Location: s/west Victoria Posted 25/11/08 08:02 AM Share Posted 25/11/08 08:02 AM With the boot release does it keep making the unlocking sound over and over really fast? Mines doing this at the moment and its farking annoying.I.B.that's what it does. If you put some upward pressure on the boot when you press the button it opens no problems. I would image you should be able to adjust lock to the fix problem.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixfan Flaccid Member Donating Members 2,503 Member For: 21y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: NOONAMAH, go figure..... Posted 27/11/08 02:44 AM Share Posted 27/11/08 02:44 AM What makes is all worse is that the dealers are useless. It's not the car's fault that the dealer servicing is utterly incompetent.Ford really need to get their act together, but they won't.f'ken A!My problems with the T were 98% related to poor service.I'd be in a foon now if it wasn't for those squeezers.

Same with the B series, the finally got everything right by the BFII. Not particually fussed on the FG, would rather a BFII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most companies seem to sh*t themselves when those two accronyms/words are used in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody good idea but I hear Ford is very good at playing the long and protracted waiting game and everything gets forgotton about.I.B/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
