I thought his daughter got a big settlement from Porsche for some fault?Different issue. Some porsches had engine problems. The porsche he was in, had a hitting a stationary object at speed, then turning into a s**t f**king inferno problem.
But don't worry. He was smiling. Apparently.
Yep no chance of that but I’d want a new one lolprobably wouldn't be allowed to do that, its not like its a week old.
Ford seems to be getting a bit of a bashing in here. I’ve never owned a ford but thought they were quite reliable. Is that not the case?
I’d be gutted with a new engine. I’d ask them to take the car back and I’d take my money elsewhere. Car would feel tarnished for me. Mainly because I’m weird with stuff like that
Yeah because having it on the original engine with a well documented and terminal fault 2 to 3 years down the line when you want to sell, is way better than having a brand new engine?
This isn't original car smell, it's a car with a fault that come some years from now - people are going to be saying "don't these blow up, have you had it checked?". No it's minty mint and all original! :smiley:
I guess it depends, like Ant has said, how much you love the car. These will still fetch some in the future so it's worth doing. If you fall out of love with it then fair enough, although pushing for a refund is stressful work in the car game.
My only comment would be that if it does go again I'd be requesting in writing a confirmation that warranty will be extended to the last date of which the engine was replaced!Exactly this. The thought of demanding a replacement car never even occurred to me...give me a new engine that's fixed and I'll be happy.
If it fails, give me another one. And another. And another. They have to fix it eventually surely...and hopefully that'll happen before my 5yr/100k mile warranty runs out.
If, no, be positive, when they do, my eventual 75k miles 5x engine swapped RS will command good money versus a garage queen that's done only 2k on its original engine
Nah its a ford, your car will hold good money but a 5 yr old 2k car will have ford scene tax by then and be worth more to the anoraks.Exactly this. The thought of demanding a replacement car never even occurred to me...give me a new engine that's fixed and I'll be happy.

Only 5% or so by your reckoning is whats affected isn't it.?Even if everyone knows it's incontinent?

I could understand a 50% failure rate being an issue but 5% isn't that bad.
And I did chuckle at incontinent lol.
limited edition thoA 5% failure rate in manufacturing sounds f**king enormous
I put YouTube on the tv last night and this video was one of the suggested videos. It said it had had 30,000 views!!!
Do you make money from your YouTube account lol.
Christ, show's (kind of) how much the 'Youtube Famous' people earn, with hundreds of thousands of views per day!

I have a browser add on that helps me manage my YT activities and it shows me info you don't normally get to see...like keywords used on other videos (so you can pinch the most successful ones) and also what the earnings are.
Some of the bigger ones quite comfortably earn six figures per calendar month.
It's frightening really, especially given the crap some of them post 😂
How do you even go about setting up? Got any useful links? Would be interested to read them.
Im pretty sure shmee gave up his job banking in London to do his youtube channel.
Just shows the money in it.
