G'day 02fw,

I bought a 99 wagon a few years ago and being on gas fitted at tickford, I didn't think I would have any trouble with it.

I WAS WRONG!

I needed a new head and got a Flashlube upper cylinder lube kit installed. Cost me 2,300! The car was bought with 80,000k on the clock and I had this trouble at 110,000.

If the warranty covers the whole gas set up, It might be good peace of mind. Make sure you read the warranty carefully though. YOu could get locked into expensive servicing at ford.

I'm not sure if Ford got it's gas setup any better for the series 2 and 3 cars, mine is a series 1.

Hope that helps.

George
