After 89 days ownership
58 days running with no fault
4 breakdowns requiring recovery + 1 yesterday
3 temporary other fault - car drivable
All relating to non starting now traced down to faulty crank sensor connection. Incidentally its always during damp weather...
I've had enough! Dealer accepted today on providing a suitable reliable replacement or I will take them the whole 9 yards with losses/inconveniences cost as they agreed formally the last repair was the last!
So what are my options.. i get offered a fiesta st500. got excited for a nano second hearing ST500 then came to crashing to earth.. ford clearly did not follow suit in their naming convention - st170=170bhp st220=200bhp.. :swear:
WTF are they thinking, im in my mid 30's and going to drive a fiesta!!!! may as well hand me a bag of sweets with that. seriously.
ok limited run of 500 units but that is just marketing to get shot of parts bin stock before the new model.
A- clio is in a different league to the ST500
B- 148bhp
C- its a fiesta
D- need i say more.. maybe i'm just being negative.
Is a now 36k 197 2006 comparable to a 2008 30k fully loaded st500?
kinda wish someone would pinch the 197 and i can just walk away with my gap return to invoice. lol
Will post some for sale bits soon and wanted to say cheers. Had a quite a few cars in my time and joined forums and this has been the best forum yet. so cheers all.
