    Bought a ford transit 8 months ago from main ford dealer in galway city for 12k. Went out of warranty 12k miles ago. Brought it back last week beacause the power was dramaticaly reduced. They replaced the intercooler, total cost = 500.00. Intercooler cost around 300, 200 for labour.

    We collected van and drove 200 yards, only to discover the same problem again. They took it back and had the f**king balls to call me and say the turbo was spent and total charge to fix was 2500.00. Kindly told them to f**k off.

    Ordered a brand new turbo unit from UK , cost delivered - 649.00
    Have a mechanic lined up to install - 300.00


    Then, this main ford dealer in galway city called me today to say:
    "Good news, we wont be charging you the full 80.00 per hour to tell you your turbo was busted, we'll only charge you 40.00 per hour. Oh, and it took 5 hours, and your not getting your van back until you pay for it!"

    Where the f**k is the law to deal with sh1t like this? Have i any rights or do i just let them violate me?:mad::mad::mad:
