SPORTKA RUST !!!!!!!!!!
Discussion
EEK my NY reg sportka has done 19,000miles, i open boot and theres two terrible rust spots where the standerd spoiler rubs the body, also all 4 seams are bleeding rust too!! pop the bonet and where the bummper starts its rusted along there too.
jennings too the rescue?????
no not quite, the 17 year old girl who i pass the keys too and jotts down what i am saying (do they have mecanics in garages these days?)seems merry and just as merry when she passes them back saying its not coverd in the warrentee.
i ring body shop guy as he wasnt available at time and he says its becuse its had a rear bump !!??!! refering to the small dent in the rear bumper from a parking misjudment im guessing that didnt even scratch or crack the bummper ! hardly a sunt big enough to pull apart 4 seems!
ok what do i do now ? and has any other sportka owners spoilers rusted where it contacts body(should warentee cover this)?

That SportKa with the rust sounds like it might have had a bit of a dodgy past... why has it needed a new steering rack at 19000 miles?? Is it possible it has had a big crash at some point and been repaired, or have you had from new?
Interesting what you are saying about the clonking being related to the Anti-Roll bar, my missuses Fiesta is doing the same thing with clonking and banging over bumps. You can't feel it through the steering, but it sounds like something is loose.
Which brake components do you mean Rach?

This bit.... inside my alloy
I notice it everytime i walk past, my mate says paint it... is it covered under warranty? Or should I just trade it in as Im tempted....
2 boys have now told me to take the wheel off and paint it... any volunteers to help?

fun car , loads of fun when i moved to 15inch wheels but boy its thirsty for a little car
Its a shame the Ka is so fragile cos its a cracking handler. If mine had better build quality and some soundproofing I'd probably still be driving it.

Be interesting to see what the next one is like, esp considering its half Fiat.
