Hi all,
I had the dreaded "service vehicle soon" last week at about 15000 miles. Message came on as I was accelerating quite hard up to 70 from a roundabout. Took it in to the dealer at Eastleigh, who are brilliant (I particularly enjoyed getting a Fiesta ST as a loaner - brought out my inner 17 year-old), who diagnosed it as - I think - an HVBJB on its way out. They got back in touch today to say Ford have advised that there is currently no date for availability for replacement parts! This is somewhat irritating!
I would very much like to rant at Ford, but I am curious what we think the likelihood is of the car bricking itself while we wait for the part to become available! Any views? I also haven't tested it, as I've avoided hard acceleration since the warning came on, but I do wonder whether power is now limited. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks,
Mark
