Ford and Vauxhall customer services seem to be more helpful if your a fleet buyer do you think?

Typical, I used to work for a fleet management company. I should have stayed with them now I have the mondeo.

I've just put down yet another £500 on repairs. In three months, i've spent a total of £1400. I'm sick :(

With fords is there a magical 100k mile mark before it and everything is superb, after that it all falls apart.
Still though id have a ford any day over a vauxhall, even with a lifetime warranty, that actually is what hell is a lifetime driving a vauxhall.

It was great when I first bought it, it just seem to be going down hill quickly. I may end up cutting my losses and getting rid. I just can't bring my self around to doing it lol

Bejesus, I'd rather be sent to prison for a lifetime rather than having to keep a Vauxhall for a lifetime :lol: :lol:

And for a warranty the vauxhall one is filled with terms and conditions. But they have overlooked the fact ford makes better cars.

Right i didnt have anyone to hold my camera, nor did i have a good camera so i made use of what i had. Some shots were taken with the phone selotaped to a shovel pushed into the snow, some were me holding it while preforming the turns, and some were the phone plastic tied onto the d9 honeycomb grill then the bonnet closed over the phone and tilted it up so the view is terrible. Then its all been edited in imovie to take out the crap bits to leave less crap bits. Enjoy:
