Default Car to spend 3rd day with Ford :(

Well my car is spending yet another night a Ford :(

On the weekend I noticed my clutch didn't feel right so I didn't drive her much and decided it was best for Ford to have a look so warranty could fix any issues. They were booked out monday so I would have to go Tues.

Driving to Ford tuesday morning all was good until I got to the Great Western Highway where I tried to shift into 2nd after taking off from the lights, BAM the pedal is against the firewall and I have no clutch which is a very bad thing in peak hour traffic. I put on the hazard lights and somehow managed to drive the extra km to the service centre without stopping.

So today I get a call and turns out the master cylinder is rooted and the new one has just come in, but the car needs to spend another night for everything to get put back together.

Good news is everything is covered by Warranty so it isn't costing me a cent and im lucky it happened now not in a month as Warranty is just about to expire.

My clutch buggered itself a few months after I got it.

I just sold my Fiesta back to the dealer as I'm desperate for cash.... I'll miss him so :(
