Car under 60000kms and 3.5 yrs old - pretty poor really.
By comparison, the leather gearknob on our 7yr old Subaru Outback (Gen3) was still 'as new' after nearly 170,000kms when it sold to make way for the Mondeo XR5.
And the little vents in the dash of our '87 Telstar TX5 Ghia still swished back and forth after 13yrs and nearly 300,000kms (same engine, clutch and box). Bit it was built alongside the Mazda 626 in J-Pan.
Must be time to back-trade into some interesting (simpler) classics.......

An easy fix my friend, was about $18.35 but this time I went with the Focus XR5 one as i think it ties in better. ( Ford part no FO-8M5R 7L468DA, Finis Code 1673222)
