I regret not buying S variant that time and now in a situation where I am planning to sell a 3 year old 21k driven perfectly fine vehicle as I need 6 Airbags and Isofix for my kids.
Hi Love4cars, thank you so much for your kind your appreciation. This is the least I can do for the community. Yes you can change the seats from a Titanium + or S for accommodating the ISOFIX hooks. Else a cost effective solution is to cut only a small portion and add the ISOFIX hooks on the rear side of the back rest. That's doable.

Initially, they will try to "Reroute" the wiring. God knows, what they mean by that. It's a quick fix, but it's not guaranteed to work. In my case, they tried this twice, but it didn't solve the problem. Finally, in the third attempt, they replaced all these parts. It looks like it has worked, touch wood. I haven't seen the problem, after this activity. If I face it again, I will keep everyone posted.

They asked me to retain the wiring harness, they said to keep it for the connectors. If the wiring harness needs repairs, the connectors are good and can be reused. Overall, I would rate the experience as 8/10, Dhone Ford was proactive, transparent in the costs and arranged the parts within a week or so. Replacement took approx. 2 days, I left the car at the service centre on a Saturday and got it back on Monday.

Pictures are self-explanatory, so I won't put the captions...

Good to know that your problem got resolved but ditto with the Diesels too. What happens is that the wires tend to get harder over a period of time and this used to bring in the check engine light on both my diesels as soon as they crossed 100,000 kms/ 6 yrs. This problem was caused due to wire chaffing in the bottom of the engine bay What we did was simple, we changed only the connector and I wasn't charged for it as we can claim goodwill warranty. I'd suggest to pick up the extended warranty(anytime warranty) till the 8th year, so that you don't have to pay a dime in case of such issues. Also, please clean the throttle body every three years regardless of fuel type.

I tried searching for Split Rear Seats in Boodmo but unable to. Can you please elaborate on above solutions? Like where can I get this done ASC (ASC then part number approx cost if possible) or FNG (After buying X Parts from Y Source).
It was pretty confusing on Boodmo, and I remember asking one of the SA in ASC in Gurgaon and he flatly refused saying the hook for Isofix in the seat is part of the chassis.
