Mine has been replaced 3 times now for the same problem, it's a common fault with them. Make them give you a lifetime warranty if it happens again, thats what I did on mine.
Cheers Warbo |

Mine did it for the first time in Adelaide recently. I'm also going to get the dealer to fix it and an annoying rattle in the exhaust region (might be a catalytic convertor problem) which has surfaced in some owners cars too!.
BTW Zetec, WTG with 'Sexy Sandwich'??? |

The bread looks great, but the filling isn't too appetizing!!

If you think the bread looks great on Zetec's avatar, you would have noticed my photo's from the A.M.R.S.!! Same goes for the filling in these sandwiches!! But, someone's got to do it, hey Zetec.
