At the moment the dealer i bought the car from are in talks with the ford garage and it looks like they have confirmed its a known issue and will be replacing it with a new boot under warranty.
They also checked the aluminium panels but there are no issues there. Need 100% confirmation but...
Cheers
Car is booked in tomorrow at Loughborough, so we will soon have another dealer to add to either the good or bad list. Lets hope its the good one!
I have noticed when i push in the clutch its very smooth over the first 80% of the travel, then it hits a little point of resitance, the final 20% feels rougher, like its rubbing on something. You can hear it if you press the clutch with the engine off, its not loud by any stretch, but its not...
Notts is a bit of a treck from me. Went into the dealer i got the car from today who have ensured me they will get it sorted, so will have to be patient and see where we get with this....

Ironically the rest of the paintwork is in fantasic shape.
It doesnt exactly have a warranty from the garage. The warranty they provide (rac) doesnt kick in until after the ford warranty expires.
Its more the fact that its been sold as pristine and clearly its not...
Agreed that the paintwork thing is a con. I was looking at the place this car was serviced and there isnt even an option to tick for the body/paint inspection.
I am torn between taking it to ford and trying to get them to sort under warranty and taking it back to the dealer i bought it from and...
Lets hope so, i know the warranty book states you need the biannual paint inspection for the 12yr perforation warranty, but id expect this to be covered under the regular 3yr warranty.
Whether i get a new boot or its resealed and a full respay im not too concerned, as long as its fixed to a...
Where are these stamps supposed to be located?
Nevermind i can see the pages... All i have is the 3 stamps for the 3 services, the rest of the book is blank.
