Ford repair service are just useless! everywhere u go there all just the same! what a shame !!Iceman i guess u well unhappy!! back with the crapy fiesta from the garage very soon!!

Have they checked the 2nd (after cat) O2 sensor.

gareth,
don,t know about that sensor thing,but i rang up this morning,playing
hell with all and sundrie,anyway to cut a long story short my is back
at the dealers again(i had it for 4 days )but this time i don,t
have a courtesy car,they could not get one till friday!!!! so my old man
took me over in his trusty 3 year old mondeo!!!.
who knows the missus might let me borrow her ha ha .
iceman.
p.s. i,ll keep you all posted.

That is very poor, that you're left without a car after they haven't sorted out properly the thing that you took it in for in the first place. Hopefully it won't be too long before its fixed and hopefully for good this time around.

i certainly hope so chris because believe me if it has to go in again i will
not be responsible for my actions.

just called up the dealer to see whats happening with my car,guess what they
said,"oh yes sir your car is ready for collection" and when i asked what the
problem was they said "er a faulty gas sensor in the exhaust sir" so i asked
when were you going to call me and let me know it was ready??? his reply was
"oh has nobody rang you up sir"so i replied do you think i would be ringing up
asking whats the crack with my car then!!. i asked to speak to the service
manager he said "i am the service manager".i asked how long the car had been
ready he replied "i need to see the job card not sure really but its ready now"
tomorrow morning i shall go for my car, end of story.

I have a feeling thats why my engine light has been on since ohhhh.. May!

Its feels weirder when it gets turned off! Soon comes back on though

Don't know if the ST is the same but alot of the suzuki's and mitsubishi's at the moment are having alot of problems with oxygen sensor.They give out a fault code PO135 o2 sensor heater ciruit fail.The oxygen has a heater element in them to assist on cold start ups this allow a faster operating temp of the o2 sensor to get the emission down faster for cold running.They seem to pack up and burn out for a past time at the mo,if it happens again ask you dealer what fault you get,i have a list and can tell you they are.

pinky why have,nt you got it looked at?????
iceman.

I have and atm its a bit of trial and error because one fix didnt work, then another and now I'm getting another sensor replaced at the weekend so hopefully that'll be it.

Ah Pinky ive seen you else where and im pretty sure ive met you before

oh right i see, now lets hope it gets sorted for you this time.
iceman.

Really?

fingers crossed,toes crossed.

everytime I get my car for my dealer I like to check all around the car to see if there any damage and also check if they done any mileages with it so I put my trip computer to 0 KM, cause I know some dealer not Ford especialy who use customers cars to go home or do shopping with it and even make new customer try the car without the owner no about it!
For the mud stain u got the right reaction I would have done the same! Now ur car is back I hope everything will be back to normal!!

How does it help to reset the trip computer to 0. They can just drive the car around 100 miles and then reset it themselves, you'll never know about it... Only taking a note of the total mileage may actually give you a clue.

Yes, and even then they may say that they found something, and so needed to drive it around a little just to test it (which to be fair could actually be true), and unless you've actually been there when its been done you don't know one way or another.

Ah I see what you mean babyboom. You're right it can also be an indication that they have done nothing on the car while you were away, or indeed that they drove it and then reset it on purpose to hide the evidence... Very true.

yes! thats the reason!
