Saga since September 2008.
-Evans-Halshaw, Beverley ( 24 miles away)
Apply for Warranty claim, Dealer closes December 2008, before authority comes through! :eek13:
-Polar Ford York (50 miles away)
Apply for Warranty claim Dec 29 2008
Dealer loses paperwork, claim re-entered Feb 2009
Car goes in for work, (doors, plus I pay for bonnet & front bumper to be painted to solve stone chip problem) Easter 2009
After 9 weeks, car is returned. Abysmal paint quality, sent straight back. :angryfire:
June 2009, rejected again. :angryfire: :angryfire:
August 2009, returned, rejected, decide to have a fun weekend before it goes back again, and some @rsehole goes down off-side with a knife, down to metal. :angryfire: :angryfire: :angryfire:
Monday morning, Polar Ford York ceases to exist, now Stoneacre. Stoneacre say 'Bugger off, nowt to do with us.....' :tonofbricks:
October 2009, after the intervention of a very helpful lady from Ford Customer Care, Polar Ford Bradford agree to remedy faults. :woot:
Feb 2010, after much toing and froing due to involvement of Insurance for knife jobby (mistake!) car goes in to Bradford.
Yesterday, been to Bradford. So much paint on doors, they've had to take them back to bare metal. O/SF is knackered. Absolutely riddled, most likely due to delays in sorting original rust in seam. Say they will do it, but no further guarantee. N/SF is even worse! 2nd hand! White underneath paint! :tonofbricks:
Speak to bodyshop guys at York, who deny all knowledge.... :tonofbricks:
Upshot, guess who's buying 2 new front doors... :eek13:
Bloody good job I like the car (though at times. I wonder why!) :driving:
