Here's one for the techies

I've got a lot of friends up in Canada skiing just now, having a ball they tell me. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds great Peter thanks!

Sounds great Peter thanks!

Well it's all sorted. Some parts had to come from the USA so we had a short wait for those. Apparently the replacement tensioners were under a new part number which would indicate a superseded part (and hopefully an improved one). I dropped the car in on a Thursday afternoon and it was ready by the end of Friday. So no mucking around, and no more 'chirp' on warm-up from cold. The engine sounds sweet-as now.

Mine was the first repair of this nature in New Zealand, and the funny thing was I suggested where they would find the noise based on what I gleaned from this site. That raised a few eyebrows until they realised I was right.

Overall, a good outcome thanks to Ford New Zealand, the dealer and a few on this site as well.

Thanks for reporting back I'm going to look into it as well after hearing about your outcome. I have a couple things I'd like to get looked at so I'll mention this concern as well.
