_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 16y 2m 20d Posted 02/04/10 01:47 AM Share Posted 02/04/10 01:47 AM (edited) Aspects of your warrantee may be voided. If you have an issue and it can be directly atributed to a modifaction then you could be sh!t outa luck.It depends on the dealer. Some will have security escort you from the premises if you peel a warning decal off where another will honour the claim and takes Fords money.A dealer makes his money out of servicing. Generally not from new car sales. His existence is dependent on him value adding to his servicing with bogus crap like air conditoner servicing which is a shot of perfume, injector service - bottle of injector clean - or even muffler bearing inspection if he really has a dorsal fin. So you`d think it`d be in his interest to help you out.Go have a word with your dealer or local dealers and broach the subject.Anyway your Ford is a state of the art creation of utter precision built by craftmen and serviced by technicians of equisite abilty. Nothing will go wrong with it.Turn it up! you know ya wanna Edited 02/04/10 01:58 AM by _Spin_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
