I would not say it was a walk in the park at all. The points you have to make are things that it would be very costly or impossible for them to correct like paint repairs or engine numbers changes. Couple this with time taken to repair as you want it to get up to the six week mark of your car...
I just wanted to post an update. I have to thank Kalum and Marty at Cardiff Ford for all there help. The resolution has been a replacement car and I took delivery of it today. No its not Race Red but I do love the Double Black. I am very happy with this outcome and my advise for you all is find...
Another update Ford CRC was called ten days after my application was lodged. My case manager told me that no decision has been made as yet and to call back on a Tuesday.
So many new meanings for CRC come to mind.
I have made a call to consumer affairs and they have advised me that I need to have letters drawn out lining why the car is not up to the standard expected and this is on the dealer and secondly onto Ford Australia. I have talked to the dealer and he has found a replacement car and has submitted...
the four week up date is tech line have told the dealer to order a new bottom end not a dressed motor and I am pudding for a replacement car.
Not happy at all Ford Australia

It was the eight cylinder and it was number seven that the ring had failed on. I did not note the engine head getting over 93-96 deg c and it has only had 98ron and never driven hard at all.
Hi People
Just asking if any of the greater population has had an engine failure sure to an piston sings. The car was un modified and was being treated like a baby. Any feed back would be appreciated.

A quick update for those who are interested. The mustang has been torn apart now no bonnet removed air conditioner compressor condenser and radiator. Battery box removed as well as air con ducts. K Braces removed half of the wiring harness and the ecu bolts drilled out and ecu...
I am sure things take time I am just on edge as Ford Australia have not said they will do anything at all and then they asked me about if I have abused the car by taking to the track
I am having an issue with the new short block as the fix. You can appreciate the nature of an alloy head and they generally have to be re-machined before bring fitted to an motor. I was advised that there is no machining allowance left of thus face and they have to measure the head with a strate...
Well as all of us i ordered my car in March 2016 and the wait began the months clicked by and after twelve months later I was handed over the keys to my Race Red GT Fast Back. Like a lot of us owning a mustang is a childhood dream and to say the car is treated with kit gloves. Washed every week...
