My Ford parts place should take some tips. lol

Yeah good parts people are quite hard to find, but they are so important.
The 2 at our ford garage have been with us for about 20 years each, sh1t hot they are!
The job for them is getting a bit harder for RS models as a lot of parts are now discontinued, as you know.
Most of our RS owners tend to make quite difficult customers, for parts and service, but I think thats only cause they tend to care for their cars so much.
Some RS owners think they know everything too, and thats just not possible. IMO

But when it comes down to it, our parts guys can get it done, just we seem to have the biggest employee turnover ever, so the amount of new people who seem totally inept at their jobs is absolutely shocking, pre-picking bits, for example, is apalling.
ITS A FUCKING OLD SHAPE FOCUS YOU BASTARDS.
No, we don't fit god damn pollen filters on preps.
No, it's a fucking diesel mondeo.
Wheres my sump plug washer then?

ginge is wright in some ways when somebody comes in doesnt know there reg number and is to lazy to walk into the car park to look then tell you how to do your job eg... there all the same mate! when you have a screen in front of you tellingyou that there are twenty differant type of spring or mirror you do tend to get the arse
or how expensive you are when ya just been out in the pissing down with rain to fit a lousy wiper for them and they tell you how halfords is cheaper for an oil filter
so please folks pass the message on if you are going into a dealership for parts try and make it a little easier and be polite as it goes a long way in your own favour also we dont make the prices and cant make parts apear from our arses so just bear with us a little
and i try my utmost to help all my rs customers lol

close
filter is 1066071,,, close enough as your a phone boy i guess
coilpack is spot on
leak in footwell is the lack of butyl tape when they changed the pollen filter and so it leaks when you wash the car or it rains,, which is alot in this country,,, but again your a phone boy so ill let you off for that as its a service matter
focus heater problem is the leak down the loom onto the heater resistor,, cant remember the part number but when doo is onlike he will remember,, its fucking easy too , hes also got a good chance he will need a new connector section of the loom,,,, and for some reason ford also make this repair section,,,, dont know why though as its not like its a comon problem
heater valve is spot on though
oh and the oil is the EASIEST thing int he world,,, all fords apart from the old galaxy diesels use the same 5w30 semi synth as the petrol cars
so,,,, you was "ok",,, good job you work as a phone boy like me as you
would be just as shite as me on back counter
[quote="Ginge !"]

with JAMES

and i think i was spot on with the oil
