I have extended the warranty so I'm good for at least the first 5 years and 100,000 miles. I hope by that time Ford have sorted the problem out! That's what I'm mostly hearing although others have said just a block/head, or the full engine but without all of the ancillaries. Nope. Two weeks...

Along with uncertainty and a mssive PITA there's also a big nod to the CS old-timers in here. Thanks to @ForceIndia for the inspiration :up:😂

There have been one or two that I've heard of. The thing is, with Ford playing their cards so close to their chest, no one knows a) the exact reasons why they fail or b) how the replacement engines have been 'fixed'. What I'm getting may be doomed to fail again in the next six months! From...

Based on forum reports a fair estimate from what we know so far would around 5% or so. Some suggest more that 10% but I think that's way too high.

I will sell it eventually...but there's no hurry at all, I'm curious what will happen to the value of it over time. Getting it moving about daily is a wonderful thing, understanding and analysing the hell out of it comes a close 2nd :laughing: As for the engine replacement? At worst I can see...

This is what the internet needs to know and why I've asked for comfort that I'm not going to be back again with the same problem in six months time. Unlikely I'll get a definitive answer but that won't stop me pestering them for one!

I've asked but it's unlikely I'll find out.

I'm feeling that ^^^ b**ches. I did take my gloves out last time but completely forgot to use them as I was being so awesome without them. In other news, complete replacement engine is scheduled for delivery to dealer Friday 8th December. That's quite quick compared to what others have...

I'm in a hire car for now. Video update to follow...

The last three starts have all sounded like this...it's gone from one in every four or five starts to almost every time. I hope the dealership see sense today and don't just top the coolant up and hand it back.

We'll see in another 9.5 years if it was a sensible move or not. I think it will be :smile: Define a 10? To be fair to Ford so far they've been quite accommodating...there's a few modded cars that have had entire engines replaced. This is how I feel. I can mostly scare myself anywhere in it...

£900 for an air filter, induction pipe, and dealer installed map is a lot no matter how much power you gain from it. They give you exactly the same (hardware + map) for the Fiesta and charge £600. The accountant in me only sees and hears £900 minus £600 etc.

It clearly is. I have it booked in for a once over by the dealership tomorrow...although I'm hoping for more I expect to have it handed back with the coolant topped up and the instruction "keep an eye on it". £900 plus fitting I think.

I'm hurt. I even kept the whole video short for you.

To see notifications on the home screen? If it's idle I just pick it up or move it slightly and they appear. I now have visions of you standing up and leaning over your phone to get your face read rather than picking it up LOL

It'll never happen though as it would be seen as a tacit admission by Apple that they were wrong.

That's the perfect place for it to be. It falls naturally to hand every time you pick your phone up. It may be different to what you're used to but it's no less convenient. As Jaff said above, my phones unlocked, open, and on it's home screen or whatever app I was last using before it's even...

I must resist, standard's enough, standard's enough...

Nice lines! Smooth!

FLOL!
