how long is the warranty on bodywork and shell for on a puma? heard everything between 6 and 12 years !

also where would i go to get the rust done under warranty ?

cheers

 

we recently made a corrosion claim on our millenium focus,

we had it around 6 months(bought secondhand,its a 2000 car) and it had corrosion on the tail gate edge, and rear door,
i took it in just to see what they said, and they did a few paper work bits, and booked it in to be done....

the next week, free courtesy car, new tailgate, new door, free valet, no quibbles.

the car had done 160k, and all they mentioned was you can only claim once, and lucily ours hadnt been claimed on before.

great service tbh, and the focus is 12years...

 

amazing where abouts did you take it ? just any ford dealer or is it somewhere special?

getting the bros ka done this week as well woo lol free repairs

 

just our local ford bodyshop, vospers,

i properly expected them to laugh at me, 3 owners, 160k.....but they didnt

 

have a real good look around the car, and claim for any rust now, cos as i said i think you only get one go

 

will do going to go into the arnold clark bodyshop down the road from me tommorrow and try it :d

 

Hmm my mondeo mrk 3 is a 2001 y reg and is starting to rust on the sills and arch lip but im suspecting its been damaged as there has been paintwork done before ............. i spose they would look at the car, notice this and tell me to fookoff

 

maybe, but wont hurt to ask

 

8 years?

 

is it? im sure my documents say 12?

i am talking warrenty period, not age here

 

When I worked for Vauxhall any corrosion issues that came in had their paint thicknesses checked...only take a second with the right tool...to determin if it had previous paint repairs done.

 

I have a few little bits of rust on the very lower lip of the rear arch sills on my Puma that I'm looking to take to my local bodyshop to get sorted 'cos the rest of the car is like brand new. 7 year old car. Bet the warranty is 6yrs, lol

 

Pretty sure Ford's 'get out of jail free card' is that the car must have a full service history, and all the paintwork inspection stamps are there in the book!

 

mine didnt even have a service book, lol

 

Got that, lol

 

oh,i was going to chib mitsubishi about a small bubble of rust on the tailgate but it hasnt got a full sevice,not far off but not full .6 years with them but it does say in the service book it must be inspected yearly to qualify.

still going to try now tho

 

If i'd have known that, they could have had my old focus, that would have kept the bodyshop occupied for a full month!

 

i think it depends how lucky you are, but at the end of the day, they get pald to do it, and want the work
