What to look for at end of 3 yr warranty

Post by shabazmo »

My Fiesta will reach 3 years and 28,000 miles next month and before the warranty period is up, I was wondering what I should check that might be coverred by the warranty.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Anything that's broken really, but doubt it will have any problems being new, cars rarely break when they have warranty... A week after it expires will probably break down all the time sods law... Jokes

Actually in the snow my turbo give up the ghost and my car within warranty and ford said they fixed it but it WILL go again and I will have to pay part of the cost, which just goes to show what a bag of w**k their warranty is

Just completed the 3 year MOT and it passed. But there was one flaw in that the o/s front brakes were 25% lower than the front n/s. I guess they could have failled it and done the work under waranty. I dismanted the front calipers and found that the inner pad was sticking. Despite cleaning both pads and slider shims, the inner pads did not move smoothly, so I flled a bit of metal off the pads, greased them and the brakes feel much sharper now. Just one to watch.
