i had a problem with my back box on a 2009 1.4 titanium and i taken it to quick fit and I was correct in what i thought the back box is blowing and all the bit and bobs inside the back box are rotten, i have phoned around many places only to find that the part can only come from ford why the hell is that....

i kicked up hell in ford as this was like it when i picked the car up just wasn't as bad and didn't really notice and they are looking at it tomorrow morning and hopefully they will fix it and put things right

    Ah Vospers In Plymouth? - My favourite Dealer - NOT. Robbing beggars.

    Try the Ford dealer in Kingsbridge - Quay Auto Centre - far nicer and way more helpful.

    I only go to Vospers when desperate.
