jackal Member 13 Member For: 20y 1m 13d Posted 30/04/09 08:55 AM Share Posted 30/04/09 08:55 AM Hmmm... Ford and FPV's stock control is a joke. Work in a panel shop as an assembler had an BF MkII XL ute hit in front and guess what ford can't supply a new front bar facia until the end of june. Just painted the whole side on a bionic BF GT, do you think we could get new stripes? apparently they are ot of stock and have been since Jan. What a disgrace. Their dealer network and spare parts suppliers are f*cking them. In stark contrast, we repaired a Y series II GTS a while ago,one of less than 100 made and needed the stainless steel wire mesh insert in the back bar, ordered 8:00am, in the shop before lunch. Does anyone else see the problem here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 24d Posted 20/05/09 06:22 AM Share Posted 20/05/09 06:22 AM Well, after waiting 40 mins on hold to fpv, I get told: can you get the part number so I can assist you further?? I`m like: Mate, you`re FORD! You`ve got no access to a friggn` database? No sir I`m sorry.. So, I ring the dealership the smash repairer is using, he said they`ve been advised 22 JUNE!!! He didn`t say what f*ckin` year though..I`m as sour as a cut snake, and everyone is going to hear about it...Its boolsh!t that a 2 year old car made HERE! has to sit for what will amount to 5 months to get a front bumper!NEVER again..
