Morning all.

Has anyone else on here got one? I've had a look at the threads but haven't seen any relating to them.

I've had one sinch March 09 have had a poor time with it. It's a great car to drive but I've had a load of issues with it frown

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.
