Pete Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Dropped the car off at Ford today for its service, MOT and brake fluid change. (upgrading to 5.1) Also managed to order some uprated struts to stop the boot slamming shut under its own weight :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 Me old man knows the Service manager so hopefully they'll look after it. I hear what your saying though Lee, only thing is all the other garages round my way are dodgy little places with mechanics that couldnt care less about their customers cars, I've seen the way they drive em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee R Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Big money for Shite work I take it you aint a fan of your local ford dealer?? I got mates who work in Ford dealers........lets just say I know how they service them (it's not un-common just to wipe the oil filter clean so it looks new) and I know how they 'test drive' them It's also widely know, that if a car with an performance panel filter goes in, it comes out with a new standard one.......and the customer can't say a thing, as an air filter change is part of the service......and they just say they've thrown the old parts away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 28, 2003 Author Share Posted January 28, 2003 The pedals would have been a fail cos there too close together, and if they wanted to be fussy they could have failed it on the wing too as no bodywork should 'protrude' from the car which could cause injury to a person, so could have been interpreted as dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
