Have a safe journey.

More photos - I would like these to go as the car has gone and I could do with the space

If you could let me know where in Kent I could work out a suitable meeting point. Have a good holiday.. Graham Doh should read your post see you are in Margate

Okay - I live in Leigh-on-sea Essex, across the estuary from you, so not too far away. If you need any further information let me know. Graham

Some photos now added, I have some more if you email me.

Can you email me please, see original post - having a job to upload photos to my post or to a pm to you. Loads of photos now taken

My 2016 Octavia VRS TDi has now been sold and I no longer have a use for these wheels and tyres purchased in 2016. 4no Dezent RE satin black wheels 7J x 17, pcd 112 x 5, et 45 all fitted with Nokian WR D4 225x45 R17 91H winter tyres All wheels/tyres have been stored inside on tyre tree and covered. Come with bolts, centre caps and various badges. All as new and never put on the car. Cost today would be about £700 but as I need the space selling for £400 ono Collection only from SS9 or I could deliver up to say 50miles Message me for more photos [email protected]

!! but not the 1.0L version see www.facebook.com/groups/FordEcoboostNightmare/

What tyres are you going to use ?

20,000 miles in 3 weeks !! :wonder:

My apologies for dragging this topic up again but I wanted to thank iriches again for pointing me in the direction of the Facebook group which has been extremely useful to talk to others with the same problem. Personally we are still fighting some 5 months after my Daughter's car failed. I now know of 26 Ecoboost 1.0L engines that have failed since April this year. I have contacted everyone you can imagine but Ford right from the top will still not admit there is a problem with this engine in cars late 2012 early 2013. Thanks again to everyone who offered advice - the fight goes on.....................................

Not an easy one to answer but from the Facebook group I have just joined they all seem to be late 2012 and early 2013 registered cars many of which had the recall (November 2015) and had the revised degas pipe fitted including my Daughter's. Mileages appear to range from 24000 to 50000 when they all failed at various times this year. Many of them just had head/gasket failures possibly unrelated to this pipe without any warning at all. It makes me think engines around this time may have been faulty. I would think a 1.0L Ecoboost engined Ford bought this last year would have the proper degas pipe now fitted but whether some are going to be subject to the same problems - who knows? see www.facebook.com/groups/FordEcoboostNightmare/

Thanks again for all the advice. My daughter does have a paid subscription to Which Legal and she will be going back to them again after all our other routes have been exhausted

The car was purchased on a PCP Options scheme so the people responsible for the quality of the car (ie durability) are the finance company - yes you've guessed, it was Ford's own finance company. The engine went pop in April this year and the final balloon payment was due in June this year nevertheless this has not been paid! Yes I have been to Which, Just Answer and Resolver but nothing definite has come out of this approach. I have been having ongoing conversations/letters/emails with Ford's Customer Relationship Centre and Ford Credit Europe and I continue fighting..............................................having joined the Facebook group mention by iriches earlier on this thread it appears 13 other Ecoboost engines have also failed in 2016.....................................and yes I have thought of just handing the car back but then they will be after me for a new engine cost!

Thanks iriches - I'm not a facebook person but we have now looked and it's very interesting that others are in the same boat (car!) thanks for your input.
