Default LV Focus issues.

I have an LV TDCI auto Focus.

Have 2 issues. Will call the dealer this arvo but will see if other have the same issues or know of them.

1) When driving off after starting in the morning (or sitting for even 10 minutes off after a long run) there is a springy noise coming from the pedal area.

Think of a long spring being held down over the edge of a table so half is on and half is off, then pulling it up and releasing. That's the noise it makes.

The noise can be 'felt' through the accelerator pedal. The noise is speed dependant, not gear dependant. Meaning that if I stay under say 10-15km/hr you wont hear it (even if it has changed gears) and once it goes over about 20 it makes the noise once and that's the end of it.

2) Wipers make a loud 'tick' only on intermittent setting. Noise was not there when purchased. Can't hear it when you are going more than 60km/hr (due to background noise) but at a slow pace it is noticeable and VERY annoying.

Noise ticks at the start of the 'up' movement and at the start of the 'down' movement. Noise is coming from behind the glove box it seems.

All other speed settings are noise free.

Any ideas or comments??

Cheers,

Jason
