I have had the car 6 wks and only had it out the garage for 2 weeks when the checked it 100% I don't believe you should check your tyre pressure every 2 wks?

Should do it at least once a week to be fair.

did you have a test drive before you bought it
did you read reviews before you bought it
why trade in decent focus for a pile of french !!!!!!
after 6 weeks you will have no cooling off period

You need to check as often as required to ensure it is safe for driving.

If I had your car it would be every time I took it out. With mine it's usually 1-2 times a month to check tyre pressure, oil etc. It's not just for my own safety, it is for the benefit of everyone else on (or near) the road.

if it was ice then no car will control on ice its impossible - unless you were going to fast 20mph is pretty fast on ice!!!!!!!

especially if you felt it slip and did the brake pedel panic

french should stick to making baguettes or remake there classic cars they were cool

The ice was not in anyway visible the garage said it was ice but no other cars that were speeding past me had a problem.

I have driven for 14years never lost control of a car or had an accident thank you.

I took it straight to the garage they blamed the ice which is very bad here at the moment but also said rear tyre pressure was very low.

So if the ice is bad and you lost control, you were driving too fast for the conditions..simples.

I bet that there is nothing whatsoever wrong with the car.

Thank you for your help

did you get it from a car super market is that why there was no test drive

those places are well dodgy they sell you the car before they even have it
