was out driving last night pull off at a set of light, and this smell (as if something was either burning or melting) come from the car

so i pulled over turned her off and had alook at the engine and underneath to see if i find anything un-toward

and guess what i found nothing, so i started checking the normal things i.e:- the water and stuff

then i pull out the dip stick, guess what NO FRIGGING OIL yes u read that right no oil, i have the car about month and half so dont even know if i had oil in it from then

going back to ford tomorrow (monday 07/03/05) i'm not having that!!!!!!!

I totally agree with you m8, that is out of order!!!

Ford usually give a free check up after 1 month or 1000miles.

Id give them a total ear bending for that as it could have blew your engine up or caused long term effects!!!

Remember Ford only warranty for 3 years and if your engine blows up even in that time they WONT replace it.

Have you had any reply from FORD yet about the oil issue?

i know your telling me.
thaking the piss abit tho, simple thing like that could have major effects and costs, an ear bending lol give them more than that, and i am gonna get them to check it in side out even if i have to be there watching them, u spend 12k - 14k on a car last thign u want is that

thats my point, they will pull every trick out of the book to say that it werent them, but at the end of the day, i have had the ca month and half and u would expect oil to last at least 1 year even before u think about topping it up, but even then it is done within the service

Hope you get your car sorted ok.

Checked my oil this morning, just thought it was worth a look having covered a couple of hundred miles since I colected the car. Just wanted to know all was well........thankfully it was spot on and looked really clean. Have to say I think the dipstck design is very good and easy to read.

lol something new, pain in the ass 2ltrs of oil i put in last night and still not a dicky bird on the dip stick!!!

well if i may be very honest with you. if you dont see any oil on you dip stick... your engine is gonna be wasted within the year, and you said about the smell, thats the smell of piston rings in your cilinders al the hot running components. if i was you i would be asking for a full checkup from te engine (do this one @ your ford dealer and a 2nd ford/non ford dealer). even to take of the upper part (the ones with the valves) and to do a full measurement of the engine. otherwise within a year you will be burning more oil then fuel.
i rather run out of water then out of oil, within 5mins without oil your engine is just a big pile of iron with hot running piston rings that are eating out your cilinders. not to forget all the other components in your engine that are running hot and eating each other up.

normally there goes around 4-5 liter in a engine like this

lol u serious!!!!ffs why cant people job thier simple job propbarbly, pissing me off back and forth to ford, tell u want tho i aint having it, i was gonna and still am gonna do what u said, get them to do a full engine check, i might ask to watch them as well, i am not taking their pissing around any more

ok thanks black pearl i will do that and let u know, i am going in to ford tomorrow, fed up with them fobbing me off over the phone, better face to face, thanks again dude and i will let u know

well obn the way home tonight and guess what!!!!!!

yep thats right
