Sorry, didn't mean to worry you. Peterborough is probably no worse than any other average Ford dealership. I only had an initial test drive there, with a guy called Justin who was very good in fairness. It was comments from others locally about poor product knowledge, communication, hand over...

To follow up on the original point of this thread, after a fairly bluntly written email from me, they offered to pit it on a transporter at their cost. They then rang me and said it would take 2-3 weeks to get it like that. If I wanted it quicker then I could drive to Northampton the following...

I originally test drove in Peterborough but they didn't have a GT manual, only an auto. I went to try the manual in Northampton, loved it and also found out they had a cancelled order. By this point like most people I was desperate to get my hands on one and so jumped on the cancelled order...

I got these splined nuts with fitting tool http://www.americanmuscle.com/6spline-lugnuts-black-1516.html , currently showing as out of stock but I'm sure they'll be back soon. £42 delivered including tax when I got them. I've had the wheels off a couple of times since fitting and although it...

Just got mine from American Muscle, £236 total including shipping and taxes. http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-irs-lockoutk-kit-black-1516.html

That's what I thought, they gave me some rubbish about insurance that meant I couldn't do it. Supposedly only Ford employees are insured to be on site at their compound, hard to believe. Think I'll go back to them and say that I'll meet the car just outside the gate of the compound and either...

You're probably right, it's just hard to not be overly worried/emotional. It's by far the most exciting car I've ever bought and I really want it to be perfect. It doesn't feel like too much to ask for the best part of £40k!

Well that's comforting, and good points regarding transporter damage. They did say that the drivers are all retired chaps. Annoyingly, one of the most terrifying passenger rides I've had in a car was with one of TCH Peterboroughs 'mature' drivers who took me home when I dropped my van in for...

You can reject it within 30days without reason? Didn't know that, where do I find details of that? I'd need to let them register it to me for that plan to work, which is fine. Yes I saw the delivery mileage thread, looks like mine would be well at the top end of the range. As someone said in...

Exactly, not sure what I can do. Apart from the fact that at the time of order I wasn't made aware of the situation, or the possible need to spend £200 to get it to the dealership in the way that I naturally assumed it would. Thing is, how much of a drive would be considered acceptable by...

I'm expecting my car at the end of the month and so I went to Allen Ford Northampton yesterday to finalise some details. Generally all seemed ok, until they told me that the car will be driven to the dealership from their compound, 35 miles away. I really don't want those first 35miles to be...

Ordered 29/10/16, build date 01/03/17.

Woohooo, 349 is mine! I really didn't anticipate quite how agonising this wait would be. I'm so glad it's on a boat at last, checking the W&W site everyday was killing me!
