"Stay clear, looks nice, drives well, but a living hell on repairs. Ford just don't care!!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where do I start!!!

Handbrake, cable and caliper.

Rear suspension - bushes in sub frame.

Rear Suspension - drop links.

Front near side wheel - hub and wheel bearing.

And now!!!

Diesel fuel pump!!!

General comments?

Car looks great both inside and out. Comfortable to drive for long periods (taxi driver).

But it all ends there!!

Car bought end of November 2005.

Had problem with handbrake and caliper, had to be replaced.

Within two weeks had problems with rear suspension bushes.

Ford dealer reluctant to cover on warranty as car was close to 3year / 60,000 mile warranty (had only done 37,000 miles)

FOUR weeks later drop links had to be replaced on rear suspension.

Front near side wheel came off car whilst driving as wheel hub and bearing suddenly went.

Diesel fuel pump needing replaced at cost of £579 + labour + vat (almost £800)

Bad luck!

Touch wood, mine has been great.

I agree with your comments about Fords generally. I had the same experience with my 1997 Mondeo. Bought from main dealer with FFSH, but nothing, but annoying niggles.

I too will never buy another Ford.
