My 4-year-old Ford Fiesta has broken coil springs on both sides. Can I ask for a manufacturer contribution?
My 4-year-old, 25,000-mile Ford Fiesta has developed a clunk at the rear. This has turned out to be broken coil springs on both sides. Is it reasonable to ask for a manufacturer contribution to the cost of replacement?

If the car has a full dealer-stamped service history then it's worth asking your local dealer to make a 'goodwill contribution' to Ford UK. Given the age of the car, I'd hazard a guess that the failure is linked to potholes or speed bumps. I would not expect corrosion to affect a car that's just four-year-old.

I understand that the Ford Fiesta, especially those with keyless systems are quite prone to theft. Is there any relatively straightforward and not too expensive way of making them less prone to theft?
