If using the genuine fluid it'll cost a fortune so keep hounding the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I argued this point and they said that I can come back and at my expense theyll put the standards back on and take me for a drive...im goin to get some stockies off a mate tonight and then take it to them and have it tuned as they said (they will tune for free as its not time consuming) and see if the problem is actually fixed (which it wont be). apart from that they said the trans fluid is good and so is the level. has anyone else had problems with 245/30/20's?

Click of a button and it's fixed.Are there any other dealers handy to you that aren't complete tools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they can recalibrate your tyre size with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WELL surprise, surprise...the problem isnt fixed at all, my uncle works with a guy whos best mate is head of service at park ford, if I dont get anything out of range ford next week ill be going there, I went for a drive with the foreman today and he said that he got lost in translation with the previous guy I was dealing with...he can see that there is a problem now **facepalm** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
