hi ive had my 15 plate fiesta for 5 months and there is 3500 miles on the clock, i have had some issues with the car a few times this week, when i slow down i cant then change the gear ive had to pull over turn engine off then restart it up and it works. ive been told this could be my clutch slave cylinder, would this be a manufacturers fault or my own fault?
