Considering that Ford sell the towing bracket and electrics as an accessory Towbar I think the Main Dealer does not know what he is on about.......

Probably won't have remote central locking if you have a Red Key ( shoot me down in flames guys if i'm wrong ). If it has an alarm i would expect you to have an LED inside the drivers door next to the window which flashes when the car is locked ?

Grey........but Oyster Silver sounds better ! Technically it is "Pearl Grey" according to my universal real colour guide.

bloody mile out if you ask me ;)

being kinda thick....I have no idea what you are on about....(nothing new there then !) can you point me in the right direction ?

Sounds normal to me ?

No not really !

If anyone has a MK3 that they are unhappy with I will gladly swap it for my MK1.

Here's a nice vid. The old classic...youve been driving like a div. down a rocky country road and flipped your jeep over ! Luckily there is plenty people available to help you get it upright again.... Sounds easy enough........however...! how-not-to-flip-a-car-back-onto-its-wheels

Hmmm..! Liked the video at the bottom right....you look different in black&white.

I was born in Scotland and brought up in Geordieland. Hence I follow Scotland and Newcastle......sad, :lol: but true ! Stevie.....you got a mate :unsure: ?

It should still be covered under the "sale of goods" act....maybe. I though the service interval on these was 12500 miles ? You could always get the clock turned back....change it to 14,000km and plead ignorance !

I am seriously going to check up and see if mine will run on "spry, crisp and dry".

If you don't ask........

You've mellowed then :lol:

You would have too be where you live I suppose.

Sounds like a lack of fuel.....dodgy pump maybe ? Could also be something electrical confusing the ECU...less likely.

You're not a Tottenham Fan are you ?

;)

Not for much longer I think.. ;) p.s. "west of Aberdeen " ! I checked on a map.....the next civilisation west of Aberdeen is the USA.....you a yankee then ?

Make sure it's well insured for fire damage !

I thought the fuel consumption on these was the same ? All the diesels could tow a petrol version and get better mileage...IMO The 110bhp diesels have more poke and get the same mpg...therefore they are much preferable.

I would write a strongly worded letter to the local council about the state of that footpath.

The newer model has fold down seats, it would not be practical. Plus the old seats were made by VW. I am sure that someone on the forum may have a copy of the brochures, please wait for a reply.
