VII13B Member 38 Member For: 19y 10m 22d Posted 01/03/07 11:43 PM Posted 01/03/07 11:43 PM Oh well, had a quick look at it last night and looks as though it has snapped away from the cable release part.Booked it in for tomorrow for Ford to take a look at it. Getting them to look at the stereo as well. The button on the dash to change up and down tracks pops out depending on what angle you push it.This is pretty sad in my opinion. This is the first car I have ever owned that has a plastic bonnet release. All other cars have been a solid steel / metal unit.It's a shame they cut corners to make a profit instead of building a qualty product.My Warranty runs out in Oct. Does anyone know if it is too late too extend it? I can see more things like this happening in the future...
