Security and Service
Security
A pretty tame immobiliser - a bit of a let-down in today's market.
Service
Unfortunately, I have to report that I have caught the Ford dealer out several time by mis-diagnosing problems. I left wondering should this really happen - especially after several friends reported the same thing.
