Ok whats the deal with a GERMAN car not being able to use frigging snow chains? I read in the manual that they should not ever be fitted to the car? WTF?
SO i rang ford, i asked why they said "cos it says so in the manual"...... not happy with that response. So i asked for a techinical reason, the woman on the other end said "we arent a technical department" so i asked them to transfer the call, that was dificult obvisously cos it took half an hour. so im talking to this dude, he basically said "You cant use chains on the focus? really?...... hang on"...... on hold again for 20 minutes. He comes back and says that the wheel bearings cant support the extra weight and force of the chains on the tyres, and that if you put them on there i run the risk of loosing the whole wheel. Does that sound right to any of you? Does this not confuse all of you? Doesnt europe have alot of snow? |
