    More car fun and games…..

    Still not looking at my Focus. It needs the clicking engine clutch noise sorted and a new computer before I will be happy to accept it back. Which they are not prepared to do as the intermittent dashboard failing is okay as it just happens sometimes. Go figure…..

    The fun I have now is that I am getting a strange burning smell and a whirring noise when I crank it up to anything over 60.

    As not my car dealing with this by turning up the radio, opening the window for air and hoping every journey works. Car 6 months old and done 1000 miles when I got it!

    What is it with me and cars blowing up??

      My Focus is - only 8 months old albeit with 24K's on the clock!

      It has been with the dealer for around 3 months now.... Getting silly!

      Just hoping the loan car does not blow up before mine is ready.

          A - You buy tulip cars!
          B - You can't drive for toffee!
          C - You buy the wrong car for the job!
          D - All of the above!

          I reckon "D".

            Don't you have any friends in the real world you can share this with instead?

              3 months!!! - Why don't you ask for a NEW replacement?!!
