Not the new V8's though, they stop using AFL1's on V8's when Ford released the 220kw 5.0 Windsor's and some of the T series dont use AFL1's as well. There we go, you can all sleep better better tonight knowing that! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trevor Guests Posted 26/11/03 10:22 PM Share Posted 26/11/03 10:22 PM I won't name the dealer for obvious reasons but I have had nothing but trouble with mine.Nearly every time I have a problem the standard response is "we don't know anything about that". Most of the fixes they have done for me I have given the dealer the instructions and solution after locating the answers on this website.I was having a stalling problem 3 days before driving 1,000 kms and when I asked the dealer for a simple favour, connect the diagnostic computer and check for fault codes then re-flash the ECU, I was told they were too busy and I would need to book it in when I returned 2,500 kms later. BULLsh*t IMO the job takes all of about 15 mins.As I couldn't get it done here I drove to Adelaide and stopped at the dealer I originally purchased the car from. The same question was asked and the answer.... sure mate drive her in and we'll check it out right away. Even though they had a full workshop.No fault was found but they had a newer software version for the ECu which was loaded. 20 mins later I drove out and the fault hasn't returned since.To my current service department :flippingfinger: To the guys at Rebel Ford in Adelaide who I am returning to in 2 weeks when I move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braddon Aaron, the spare parts guy at Mitchell is too shifty for my liking I know Kitty doesn't like Braddon but as far as servicing goes they have been great for me.

aaronmihe Upstanding Member Member 759 Member For: 21y 5m 12d Location: Canberra - ACT Posted 27/11/03 03:09 AM Share Posted 27/11/03 03:09 AM *nods* The sales 'team' at Braddon can worship my hairy freckle..... Haven't tried their service crowd obviously, but figured I'd give Mitchell a go as it runs completely devoid of the stigma of Braddon (despite being owned by the same group). With ms700 boasting about the 1350 AFL1s in stock I figure I can't go wrong A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
