Update on this post:

Fog lamp lenses, bent glove box lid and loose door rubber all replaced under warranty. They reckon the blue tooth issue is due to a module upgrade needed as at time of build the current one was the latest technology. Due to phone technology moving ahead it needs to be upgraded = $620.00. I declined the offer to upgrade and it seems they've done some kind of reset and the problem has gone anyway. Bluetooth issue has disappeared.

Was pretty happy until I noticed the bent front number plate due to it being reversed into or wedged up against something.....can't prove it so no point whining.

Do as I do mate, take picture before you go in for service also picture your odometer(with the time/day stamp on) that way there is no argument lost and saves you headaches;)

owned my ute for over a year with 12000km's and I cant complain about anything

only issue I had was removing the tub and finding a bit of rust on one of the bolts that ford said was my problem cause they didnt suplly the new tray...which begs to ask if I didnt remove it was the rust going to get worse......

Took mine to Ford in Bundaberg, engine light on, rough idle. I pointed out that it ONLY ran rough at idle, as soon as you accelerated, the car ran fine, I was thinking it would be a throttle position sensor or MAP sensor, something along those lines. After 6 hours I went back to pick it up and they tell me they didn't find anything wrong with it and to bring it back, I laughed, payed the $200 and walked out, aint goin back there again

Exactly right, there would have been a code to go with it, but they insisted they found nothing. I'm a mechanic myself, only took it to ford because I can't do the code check myself because I dont have the gear. I wont make that mistake again, $200 for nothin' cheers Ford
