It has been with the dealer for around 3 months now.... Getting silly!

Just hoping the loan car does not blow up before mine is ready.

3 months!!! - Why don't you ask for a NEW replacement?!!

Still not looking at my Focus. It needs the clicking engine clutch noise sorted and a new computer before I will be happy to accept it back. Which they are not prepared to do as the intermittent dashboard failing is okay as it just happens sometimes. Go figure…..

The fun I have now is that I am getting a strange burning smell and a whirring noise when I crank it up to anything over 60.

As not my car dealing with this by turning up the radio, opening the window for air and hoping every journey works. Car 6 months old and done 1000 miles when I got it!

What is it with me and cars blowing up??

Don't you have any friends in the real world you can share this with instead?

A - You buy tulip cars!
B - You can't drive for toffee!
C - You buy the wrong car for the job!
D - All of the above!
