[taffr]

where has all the love gone????

come on GJ drop the Ruddy BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!

[graham John]

Well the dealer did not ring me by 12.00 as promised, therefore had to call them

They still cannot rectify the fault, still do not know what the problem is, and they "would be contacting the Ford technical deptartment"

And no courtsey car available !

So, to coin a Taffr phrase, i dropped the Ruddy bomb, called Ford Customer service (who were excellent) and a courtsey car is now being delivered today, and Ford customer service have put a Fault 'trace' on the vehicle (basically they said they will request from the dealer regular progress on the fault and actions being taken to rectify, and if required can also intervene)

Im sure the above means something to Wayne / Tim, but at least something appears to be happening overall.

thanks to those for the advice, appreciated

That's better G

Should have used 'The Phrase' earlier and you might have got the courtesy car sooner?

basically they said they will request from the dealer regular progress on the fault and actions being taken to rectify,

Preview of the 2012 Almanac:

January: GJ receives his 25th regular progress update from Fords on the issues with his Focus and is congratulated by the dealership manager. Mrs J. receives some flowers. The dealership manager receives his 25th regular kick in the nuts from JJ.

February: Fords Tech Dept are not able to trace the fault so Grum is asked to "have a go". Apparently the complete Welsh fire brigade is asked to be on standby nothing to do with Grum so they say.

Preview of the 2018 almanac .......

January. The sweeping changes that started in Tunisia and Egypt back in 2011 finally catch up with the last surviving President, anywhere in the world. Yes, G.J. decides to handover the statemanship of the RSOC. Their new leader, Tim'ouseff Al W'nk'in Mi Sockkii takes over to jubilant scenes at Richyc's garden party (now the new home for the RSOC national day)

February. G.J. decides to sell the RS Focus, the day after getting it back from the dealership finally repaired. JJ pleads for him to reconsider, but alas it is no good. Having still to sell "Black Beastie" and with "Kermit" now on the market, 'someone' points out that G.J. that he hasnt actually driven an RS for a combined total of 13 years !!!!!!!!!

March. G.J's date for the first hearing for GBH is set for the second week in May. If found guilty he could be taken down immediately. On hearing this 'someone' says ........ "at least this year he has a decent excuse to miss the Lakes Tour!!!!!"

Do you want me to call round with my jump leads and a can of Easy Start ?

March 2011: because the Focarse still refuses to start DaveCustom is asked to "have a go". He arrives with his set of jump leads and a can of easy start and subsequently becomes the laughing stock of the Ford Tech Dept, the AA, the RSOC, the RSE BB, well all the world. "This is the 21st century" GJ shouts ... "shouldn't have sold the Mk2" DaveCustom replies.
