The diff blowing up, not so much. 2

Otherwise called a major failure.Tell the dealer that you want a replacement car (exactly the same) or if not you will go to another dealer and they will have to fit the bill for any foreseeable lost.If the dealer can not fix it within a reasonable time you can take it to a different Ford Dealer and the original dealer must fit the cost for all repairs.Still not happy with service you can contact the (MTA) Metropolitan Transportation Authority and fair trading department.Do some reading/homework then go back to the dealer knowing your sh*t.S267 (4) http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/caca2010265/sch2.htmlHope this help. Hold your ground mate. 2
