jeebowhite Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Some of the cars can be the runts, I am not overly pleased about there inability to put a CVT gearbox in my car that can handle the torque! but as much as that has irritated me, I wouldnt slag off all of Ford/ Even with their fluffing up, I cant see me leaving them for a while!

ben1191 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Not got a reader and car is now throwing up this limp mode every time I get in it now !!!! Looks like the AA are going to get another callout. Just parted with £294 and still the same as before ...feel I've been royally shafted so I'm in no hurry to be done again by some shark garage! What I can't fathom is this seems a massive fault on these cars yet no one can point at one thing and say ITS THAT !!! Why not ! Modern cars are that full of sensors it makes impossible to pinpoint a fault with any accuracy and fix it ....why are sensors so damned expensive? And why are cars full of them. Rant over,,,, Fords are crap will never purchase one again! any part is dear when u buy it new from a garage,source a 2nd hand one.always cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooge75 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If you think ford parts are dear,you should see the price of Peugeot parts! I'm finished with diesels. Petrol cars from now on for moi. Diesel cars are just too expensive to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Stooge, did you sell your car in the end? havent seen you on here for a while so presuming you probably did get rid of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
