And so it continues... back to the dealer for some more warranty work, lets hope that they are a lot better thenthe other place. ...
Getting a nice new focus for a loan car so that should be quite a treat to drive tot he country club !
Got a list of about 10+ things that still need to be fixed up on it, so on advice from XRChic i am taking it down to MT and see how they go!
THink i will have to ask they keep it as long as it takes to sort out all the issues, mainly the gearbox/clutch noises and the strange sounds from the exhaust. which the 2 other dealers cant find, along with a multitude of little things like vents and seats and all sorts of stuff
Ahh sometimes i wish i had bought something different might not have had all these issues
How about a direct swap for mine + $4000?
I think i am being serious
Dont forget mine works

on buying another car, you would probably find the same warranty issue will exist

It could be the same focus ben it was sitting out the front with no petrol in it, had to put some in last nite !
A few things i have noticed different with the two cars :
Firstly when you unlock the cars the indicators stay on for a bit, they dont do that on my car.. and when you flick the indicator it flashes 3 times, never knew they did that as doesnt do that in mine at all.
Mainly you certianly notice the lack of power. Thats pretty noticeable for sure
Apparently its the stone shield which is busted and that is causing the noise... hrmmm i doubt this but anyway... was told its not a warranty item as its damage... bah!... and that i have to pay for this... so my concern is what if this isnt the problem... will i be able to yell at them and get my $$ back.... interesting.. the saga continues
