artscot79 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 i agree a second opinion should sort it out and hopefuly it puts youre mind at ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suddste Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks. However, ive canceled my booking with fords untill/if it gets worse. It seems at the moment it was only slipping because my foot was pressing slightly on the pedal causing it to engage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 tut tut john nasty habit you have there lol perhaps getting a footrest from eBay might help i know its weird that the focus doesnt have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 John; when I asked you if you were resting your foot on the clutch, you said you weren’t, we could have cleared this problem of yours up a lot sooner if you has fessed up then. Naughty boy, anyway, glad you are happy now. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suddste Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ok its still slipping, even with my foot entirely off the clutch pedal. Biting poit seems really high up as well, compared to when i first drove it after a new clutch. What is going on here? I just want it fixed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Sorry to hear that John, you have no choice now, you will have to take it to the garage to get it fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suddste Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 the garage that did the work yeah? What should I say exactly because its still intermittent and some of the tests they did last time didnt work therefore they said its alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSussex Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 the garage that did the work yeah? What should I say exactly because its still intermittent and some of the tests they did last time didnt work therefore they said its alright Tell them exactly what the problem is and when it happens; it would also help if you took somebody else with you to the garage, a person that has also driven the car and experienced the problem; if you can’t take somebody else, then you will have to do it on your own.

suddste Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thats the thing though. Its so intermittent they couldnt really replicate the symptoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so intermittent they couldnt really replicate the symptoms John, I am unable to give you any more advice, other than wait until it gets worse and then get it fixed or get the garage to strip it down now. I do hope you are not prolonging this thread to achieve a large number of replies. Anyway, goodbye and good luck with sorting your problem out.

I assure you i'm not trying to get my post count up if thats what you mean. Theres no reason to. At the end of the day it's better posting loads in here rather than creating a new thread everytime the situation changes I've just booked in at Fords now, ive told them once they have the parts out to check whats caused this in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
