Especially after I specifically asked if it had been road tested ! The clown who drove it must have left his earplugs in !I will be having some words with them tomorrow morning.9500kms and I'm in danger of falling out of love.

Ford need to sort out their diff, and bushes as they continually let down what is otherwise a great car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give the dealer a chance to redeem themselves before I name them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go cool. I go out and get into my ute. put the wipers on and it makes the same noise. fk me.iv got many stories but all end in the same.so the story is they dont check sh*t EVER. they just get the cars in and out for what they have to so they can go home at 4pm each day. and worry about any probs the next day.
