Update 2:-
Got a call the other day from the paint/repair place from their warranty guy advsing that it needs the paint stamp every year ????
I rang 2 different ford dealers and both advised its every 2 years. One even rang ford direct to check and Ford Advised that from 2006 for fiesta's the paint check is every 2 years. (not sure if its Fiestas bought after 2006 or all years).
So I advised the paint/repair place to send the fault details to ford warranty.
So I am still waiting to for the out come.
