I'm still wondering who copped the sling at motor magazine. My T cost me just over 60 grand on the road, I'm so impressed that at 7000klm I'm copping a $12300 to get rid of the thing. To Ford I say :banghead: .I've got a GT-P on order, I hope instead of just building it, that they actually put some true R&D into this one. Then again perhaps some of us just end up with the proverbial Monday Car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dealer has had three goes. 2 weeks ago they guarantedd me it was fixed. Still had the freaking noise driving out of the service division.Strike a light. Its almost enough to make a bloke drink Tooheys........Pteeww.....Well maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a consequence I nursed many a day suffering from "the mother of all hangovers" therefore in my twisted mind XXXX = P#ssSo Id rather a Tooheys or 2 any day. BOA make it a Boags Strong Arm Bitter..............now that's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badabing Member 40 Member For: 21y 2m 3d Location: Sydney Posted 23/11/03 07:44 AM Author Share Posted 23/11/03 07:44 AM Took the car in for them to look at on Saturday, first they told me it would need to be rebooked to fit a new diff but they would check out the knock I was getting from the rear suspension. When I came back to pick it up they tell me it was just a loose breather pipe on the diff and should now be ok. Being the untrusting person that I am, I stuck my head under there this morning, looks to me like all they have done is smear some black silicone around the place. So far it has not leaked but I'm just wondering if that's an acceptable fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR64T Are we there yet? Donating Members 703 Member For: 21y 2m 14d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 23/11/03 08:06 AM Share Posted 23/11/03 08:06 AM Doesn't sound all that acceptable to me... Sounds like a patch to avoid the time and cost of some warranty work.I believe that if YOU aren't happy then take it back. If it all seems OK and YOU don't care then don't worry. It all comes down to what you think really...My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
