Good luck with Ford mate.
Exactly my argument...

Anyway, I escalated the mater to Ford HQ and got a response of "too bad". Obviously this set my blood boiling, so I called my service manager back.

We had quite a lengthy discussion and we came to an agreement, and the dealership themselves absorbed a lot of the cost. In the end I got out of there paying $200.50 for the battery.

In the end the dealership did the right thing and helped out, which I praise them for, they obviously want to keep their customers.

Unfortunately, I've had the car back for 2 hours and the alarm has triggered twice already. This is how the problem started before, so it will be interesting to see how I fare tomorrow and in the coming weeks. But I fear its not quite over yet...
