A whole lotta Ford kicking here, well the LS1 boys have a whole lotta HSV kicking too, check out LS1. Same stuff. Drivers head out while they know the warranty provisions and use their cars as they believe they should be able to. And are denied claims down the track. As has been said on LS1 Holden are even famous for having video'ed drag days in the past and used it later.

Kempy this thread is weaving back and forth with a lot of emotion, with many heading straight for Ford's throat but a lot based on limited real facts. It definitely sounds like your dealer jumped in some place and did stuff all to ascertain the cause of the failure. Until that cause is known, you don't have a lot to go to bat with to challenge anything. Removing the belt and 'oh look no noise' is pretty damn poor. If proven to be a manufacturing fault or otherwise, you have a whole lot more leg to stand on. Otherwise it's like shooting skeet with a blindfold. Also please clarify and i think the answer is no but the waters have just been murkied, was the car tuned?

No tune
