General comments?
All of the above problems have been fixed and I will be waiting to see what happens next.
When I took the car in for a service, the mechanic told me that you only buy a Ford once and I am going to stick by this rule when I get rid of this huge fault by Ford.
Remember when you pull up at the lights and there is a car that makes a noise that shouldn't be there, 9 times out of 10, it's a Ford.
When you see a tow truck and there is a car on the back, 9 times out of 10, it's a Ford.
