Will definitely snap a pic next time. Annoyed I didn't the first. I'll get my mechanic check codes before it goes back to the dealer on Monday. Might consider getting ford to take a look if need be.
An interesting fact is that in the 4 days between me signing and taking delivery a new service stamp appeared in the book. 2,500km early and says "oil & filter change only". I asked at delivery and was told 'all our used cars get an oil change before we hand over'.
I didn't think much of it, but now I'll call BS. The stamp is from a 3rd party transmission specialist, and the dealer workshop would be capable of doing an oil change. I called the 3rd party, but they were not willing to give any information.
I suspect they experienced the fault before delivery, got it checked out and either couldn't diagnose or knew it was stuffed so kept quiet. Either way I think they've been deceitful, which isn't un-expected I guess.
