Wondering if the previous owner you bought from knew about this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudiger All round good guy! Lifetime Members 1,122 Member For: 15y 11m 15d Gender: Male Location: Greenvale, Victoria Posted 29/12/10 12:54 PM Share Posted 29/12/10 12:54 PM I'd have flown there for 29k.While this may not help ya, I hope its something major so it makes everything worth while if you get me. Hate to think it is something so small that could've been fixed in like 2 seconds and youve gone to all that trouble. Eitherway, you can't win. Great that your dealer has suck by you.But in any case, I feel bad for ya too.In the end youll have an awesome looking car.Hope you are changing the plates.

Be careful with that. You might end up disappointed.These days Ford are specifying the need to get prior approval from them for a lot of warranty repairs. It's not uncommon for someone from Ford to go to a dealership to inspect a car if the repair seems unusual.It won't matter what your dealer has told you if that happens.

Exhaust leak??You can hear the tick/tapping as soon as she turns over and from idle throughout the rev range tick gets quicker and mirrors the revs as they build.The noise seems to be coming from the front top of the rocker cover but we have heard that it's not uncommon that although the sound appears to be coming from 1 place it can actually be coming from another sort of like and Ventriloquist if you know what I mean.I'll keep you updated once the fault has been found.
