jmurray01 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I don't like the route my life is taking at present... But, unlike those idiots who let sat-navs lead them into fields and off cliff edges, I can make active decisions to turn things around.

Micro Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The fact Ford wouldn't even consider authorising a £7 part as a gesture of goodwill, to fix a known issue (not only with the Mk 2.5 design)... the one real feeling of being let down by Ford!

What issue are you talking about, out of interest? But yes, Ford really do have a yuuuuuuuge way to go in terms of customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, Ford really do have a yuuuuuuuge way to go in terms of customer service. Corrosion/paint damage due to "sometimes sharp edges" of the tailgate handle trim and possibility of grit/dirt getting between it and the paintwork. There has been a TSB since 2011 for it. Speaking to a couple different Ford approved repairers/garages sounded like a common issue but they will not budge on their decision not to help whatsoever due to the warranty having expired (but the Corrosion warranty is separate to the Perforation warranty?). The fix appears to depend on the amount of damage, they have transparent vinyl which goes between the two pieces to stop damage, or there are black/silver vinyl bits that I believe stick out from the trim a bit to cover the damage, or the 3rd option listed is a full panel repair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzman600 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't wear a coat/jacket whilst in vehicle but put it on before getting out of it. Makes a world of difference. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't like one of my email providers who has always been free for a limited storage account (25mb), is ending all their free accounts, as according to the email from them. "We have very few customers with the limited free accounts now, most people upgrade to to higher capacity after a few months of use, it's costing us too much to continue to offer them". However, they have stated as a long term free user (since the late 1990's), I can have a 50% discount off any of their packages if I upgrade before July 2017. Most of them have far more storage than I could possibly use in several lifetimes, even if I never deleted an email. I've opted for the smallest storage on a 3 year contract, which is £33 (or thereabouts it was priced in US dollars, even the company is Australian) On 12/02/2017 at 9:14 PM, SeanW said: The weather!

My Ranger rover owning neighbour took his boat his power boat out on Sunday too, a family trip circumnavigating the Isle of out Wight.

jmurray01 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I don't like getting home to find that the Ghia's fuel gauge was bang on empty!! The computer said I still had 60 miles left and the low fuel light hadn't illuminated so I didn't realise how low it was... Strange thing is that the fuel light does work as it illuminates with the bulb check when the ignition is first turned on, but doesn't illuminate when the needle hits empty like it does on the Zetec. Perhaps as the computer still calculates 60 miles of fuel left, it won't come on until that gets below a certain point? Either way, I don't think I'm brave enough to keep driving and find out!!

jmurray01 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I don't like learning that the reason the main road out of my town was closed earlier today was due to a fatal house fire... Fortunately I didn't know the man personally, but had seen him out and about quite frequently. The house always piqued my interest due to its unusual style and the way it was almost hidden from view, despite being on a busy road.

GMX Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't like discovering all the computer magazines, that could be relied on for component reviews, have moved on to being general tech magazines, or ceased trading all together. Whilst those still in existence, do review, aside from graphics cards: they no longer review computer components I also don't like waking up with a paw in my mouth, perhaps Pipper was utilising my warm breath as a foot warmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't like the bewildering choice that is found in the world of mops. Who would've thought that a mop isn't just a load of thick string on the end of a stick? There are different weights of head, different lengths and thicknesses of pile, microfibre or traditional: and that's just the string head type. Then there are the squeegee sponge types, the flat sponges with or without scrubbing strips, the ragheads (for want of a better description, strips of cloth rather than string), the spinner types 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Things I don't like - feeling depressed. As a young graduate I'm lucky, since I was in the tiny minority able to find a decent paying job. But just feel like I've gone into the routine of eat/sleep/work all too soon, with not much else to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
