Well i have owned this Unit # 4100 2002 black 2d SVT for 4 months. I am now at 98601 km. I bought the car with 90461 km. In the frist two weeks of ownership i replaced the alternater. Seems a bit soon for a alternater to be replaced? maybe, maybe not. Replaced both front sway bar links. Normal wear. Royal Purpled the transmission. Very happy with the feel of the shifts. Seems to feel better as time goes on. I had to replace the clutch master cylinder. Seems to be a common problem. I have run only synthetic oil since i have owned the car. Cd player will only play one Cd at a time. if i try to add more than one it gets very confused. I called Ford Canada about recalls on the car when I was at the used car dealer. I was told that there were no recalls for my year and the only warranty work ever done on the car was the Cd player. I feel that is good as some people seem to have major problems. I don't really understand how these cars are so hit and miss when it comes to problems. I do have clutch rattle when the clutch is not pushed in. I know about the tsb but i have been told i don't have a problem bad enough that warrents a new clutch. My clutch seems fine with no slippiing and has a good feel to it. I just replaced the plugs with the Motorcraft Platinums. I still had the orginal plugs in the car. Wow what a difference the new plugs made. Could feel it right away. All my 100,000km maintence has now been done. I love this car. Even with the problems I have had it has been worth it. I had a 2001 Zx3 before but the SVT is so much better. My only concern is the clutch. How long can i expect it to last if I don't abuse it?
