A friend had a similiar problem in his brand spanking new SS Commodore. He took it back to the dealer several times and they insisted there was nothing wrong with it.
He took it to a friend of mines workshop and his son (apprentice mechanic) found it

I believe if you have an ongoing problem that was discovered within the warranty period and Ford have been unable to rectify it, then it is still covered.
It's not your fault that they can't find it within a reasonable time so why should you be penalis

Hi Tony,
Read my first post regarding my friend who bought a SS and had a persistent clunking noise. Hopefully it wont start all over again for you. lol
I love my Holdens (currently own 4) but I much prefer Fords as a daily driver.

Ford just don't care. If you tell them that you will never buy a new Ford again they just say "well it's your choice" rather than trying to make you happy again.
Hmm maybe that is why Toyota are outselling them all the time.

This is way beyond a joke isn't it.
For your sanity's sake I hope it fixes it.
This is real 'Current Affair' stuff. It would certainly make for entertaining viewing.
I look forward to your next post.

Toyota is out selling them because Ford's version of product engineering is some dude cutting laps around a high speed circuit until something breaks. They are STILL only doing half a job on their cars. Why is it that Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda and any nu |

Yeah, they probably tightened those suspension bolts that were loose all along when they fitted the new diff. Well hopefully all will be well and the clunk wont return.
