matt1981 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Is it possibly the hill assist holding the brakes on as it's a gradient? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I thought hill start assist aswell , mine does exactly the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 No :( hill start off and still does it. Something to do with how the clutch plate vibrates in reverse. It's a known problem but not recognised as a fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackgl Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Just had my clutch replaced under warranty for this very reason! I'm surprised they haven't recognised it as a fault yet. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackgl Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It was the Dees dealer franchise, this was after I had contacted ford uk to make a complaint about it. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky2013 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Is it something that needs fixing as in if you leave it as it is the clutch is on its way out etc or can we leave it? I'm not all that bothered by it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackgl Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I honestly have no idea, however it's a noise that shouldn't be there and a new clutch seems to have solved it. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
