If you get no joy with the dealer (which you wont) then ring ford CC and play
up merry hell, and I mean hell.
Id threaten them with watchdog etc etc, and it will be the last ford you ever buy.
It wouldnt be the first time ive heard of CC at least paying 50% of the cost of
repairing an engine out of warranty.
You have nothing to loose by trying
Just put the std plugs back in, even if one has melted
My mam had a 91 Escort automatic and the gearbox went after about 30k and 4 years later. She got more than 70 percent from Ford CC. This was in 95 though.
When I had my first FRS it was 15 months old and 8k on it. I complained about the seat bases and was basically told to fuck off. Fair do, I gave the rant about buying Fords for years and how I wouldn't buy one again blah blah. Still I'm back to owning them and still got no joy.
Ach well, it's worth a try though you never know!
