Zetec 1.6 5dr Hatchback

fine to drive but watch out if things go wrong

Nice car to drive, loads of boot space and reasonable fuel economy.
The main issue I have is that the engine management light went on a few weeks after I bought it, I called the AA who said it was the O2 sensor and was nothing to worry about. The local Ford dealer could not do anything further as the error code and been cleared by the AA man. The 2nd time this happened (a year later) I took it to the dealer who offered to replace the O2 sensor under warranty.
During the refit, the catalytic converter was damaged and Ford now have my vehicle and they cannot get parts for at least 1 month if not more - so I am without my car with no fixed date when I will get it back!

So in summary - nice car, but it looks like Ford are not able to (sometimes) deal with getting parts in a timely manner if things go a bit wrong :(
