Default Re: LW Focus Gearbox Faults

Thanks Pete A. Last week took the car to the dealer. They reprogrammed the gearbox with a newly developed update from Ford. Apparently the dealer was taking direction from the experts in Ford Aust. throughtout the reprogram.
The result? Like night and day. The gearbox now works like a dream! Smooth, no noise, no shifting into neutral, up and downshifts decisive and seamless and the car just seems so much more responsive. In sport the box will now change down going down hill by merely lifting off the accerator, no need to brake. Fuel consumption has improved from 6.9 l/h to 6.1 only driving around my regional town.
Today the dealer also realigned the doors. The car now looks shmick with doors that fit! We just kept at the dealer to fix the car, they also seemed more friendly when we told them how great the car felt with the gearbox upgrade and they immediately let Ford know. Hopefully now all good, these new Focus cars are really very fine motor cars. Cheers.
