I've had the USB port playing up a lot. An engine issue which took York Stoneacre far too long to diagnose due to their ignorance. It turned out to be th ignition coil in cylinder 3. The drivers wing mirror had recently become very loose and the side skirt end plates won't stay pushed on fully. This week the fuse for the water pump blew, apparently because Ford failed when making the system so when it gets cold they're prone to blowing.

My brother has one as well and his boot seal failed and let water into the boot.

These issue were definitely not helped by Polar/Stoneacre. i also had an issue where the number plates were poorly made. They had a thin plastic film over them which came off and the numbers then started to fade. The guy at Stoneacre was very reluctant to print me new ones off but the service manager got that sorted for me. Also when they were looking for the engine issue they had my car for a whole week. I was told it would be taken to and from work by one of their staff however they drove 300 miles in it and used my full tank of petrol and I had to argue very hard to get them to fill it back up.

Just bought a 63 reg, no problems so far other than the oil light coming on following a service... Rang up the dealership (who serviced it the day I bought it) and they said they must have forgotten to reset the warning light.. I have been looking for threads on manually resetting it myself but cant seem to find anything.

I've got a 12 plate and been no problems at all apart from some scrote taking a liking to the roof so much so he had to stand on it.

Servicing has caused a few problems, once the wheel nuts were done up so tight that when I came to change the wheels it sheared one of the bolts and then the next time one wheel had not had its nuts torqued and the nuts were loose!
