mickmac Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Anyone able to help me. I need an automatic transmission for Ford Focus 2.0 litre, 4yrs old. Have been quoted 136,000 for a new one from Ford dealership. Am looking to source a secondhand one, as it should be much cheaper than the dealership one. Any idea where I could get one. Joolz from the Bamboo Bar has already suggested the breakers down near the station. Anyone else know of any other breakers of late model cars. Thanks Mickmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigelmartin Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 There is a breaker's yard near the railway station. If they don't have it they can usually get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesquite Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Apparently breaker's yard = junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JingerBen Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Apparently breaker's yard = junkyard. That's right, junkyard. As in, "mean as a junkyard dog." Somehow "breaker's yard dog" just doesn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmac Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just a quick follow up:- Got a secondhand transmission from place down by railway station, total cost with replacement work was 33,000 baht. This beats the pants off the 136,000 Baht Ford originally quoted, (albeit using a new transmission, they eventually came down to 120,000 baht, but still very expensive. Thanks to all the guys that posted helpful suggestions. Regards Mickmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmac Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi Taotoo, It was a like for like replacement, after some 4 years use, (not abused either), the automatic transmission failed. Needless to say I'm not impressed with Ford's "reliability", and will not be looking to buy another in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's shocking - a bit of goodwill from Ford and the rest of us would be none the wiser.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalbo123 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 How many KM did you drive? Just curious, as a car transmission should do at least 150.000-200.000 km before it needs replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough there are many brands that have bullet proof boxes that go on & on & on...... Very - very low failure rates on the Japanese brands.... No reason they should go down between 150-200K.....
