Hi all, many thanks for taking the time to help, it is much appreciated. I will give the dealer a call later today and arrange to take it back over. I can’t get over before next Monday due to appointments and work. Hopefully they can sort it quickly. Should it flag any fault codes up to help with diagnosing the issue ? I am under the impression that cheap coils are not the best to replace with as they don’t last long. I notice it’s a Bosch coil pack on her at the moment and the date on it is November 07, so it’s the original Ford fitted when new. Many thanks again and I will keep you up to date with the outcome, I know many don’t and it drives me mad to read a thread and never get to know the outcome. Dave.

Hi all, just a quick update. I’ve spoken to the dealer and I am to take the car in next Thursday at 9am. Since my last post I’ve noticed the exhaust is noisy at the front end, I thought it was a little louder than it should be when I got the car but it’s got louder. They say they will sort it. I hope they will sort the exhaust and don’t put it down to wear and tear. I’ve only had the car a month and covered about 300 miles. I’d expect the exhaust to be better considering it’s just passed an MOT. It did fail the first time on a wiper and exhaust not supported properly. Both jobs were done to pass the MOT. I wonder if the exhaust was already damaged due to the lack of support. I will also ask if they will put a decent coil pack on it and leads and plugs, don’t want it to fail again when the warranty runs out. Anyway enough of my ramblings and thanks again for your advice. Dave.

There is no idle control valve on these .All throttle actions are controlled bt the electronic throttle body. Do not attempt to clean the throttle as the venturi surface has a special coating to prevent build up of gunge.I would do a ecu reset /relearn procedure.Disconnect the battery for 10 mins.Remember the radio will need recoding afterwards.
