Out of curiosity I checked the car you returned @GaryPL , and it's showing as 'untaxed'. Does that mean that Ford haven't yet sold it to another customer?

BTW, the long letter you sent to them was brilliant.

    I guess it does!  They have had it over 2 months now...  I never looked to see whether it was for sale as I couldn't face seeing how much money they are making out of my misery.

    And thanks very much! You're too kind :wub:

    Just an unexpected update...

    I missed a call from the Ford dealership late this afternoon.  So I called them back to find out what they wanted.  Went straight through to someone and mentioned just my name.  Without even looking me up, he apologised and said they were calling to tell me the new Fiesta was in, inviting me down to look at one, but that he knew I wouldn't be interested as I wasn't happy with the last one.  He said he'd have me taken off of the list.  All I did was mention my name on the phone - nothing else!  Fools for calling me in the first place, I think!

    Must have a reputation :laugh:
