hey guys... well I broke my line a couple of weeks ago and it will be out of action for a few months... sooo brilliant I thought, its cold outside I will just sit at home playing 360 for a few weeks, not go out and save some cash for the rebuild... which would have been a great idea had my Xbox not decided to f**king break on me too! so my car is busted and now I can't play Forza Motorsport 2 which I have been waiting to come out for the last 12 months... I need to get my hoon on! Thank the son of rajab for Foxtel otherwise I might be forced to actually speak to my flatmates hehe

so enough rambling, where should I take the 360 to get repaired? Its no longer under warranty, and I'm in Melbourne SE...

ps. its flashing 3 red lights at me when I turn it on and making hideous noises through the amp/speakers... it won't even boot up without a game in there:(

Well truthfully under warranty or not the problem is microsofts fault and is a hardware fault. So they should fix it for free either way. They sent the things out and they have had so many of the exact same problem. The hardware is faulty from factory so should be fixed at no charge. My 2cents. oh and yes i had the same problem, but had the warranty through EBGames so just took it in and got a straight swap on the spot. shame that runs out soon and knowing my luck the same thing will happen a few weeks after it does then send it off to microsoft to get it fixed.....again

That's what you get for f**king up production and rushing to market you mean :domokun:

3 year warranty is nice though..

Apparently if you get a towel or the like and wrap the 360, the heat can cause the dodgy joints to refuse and it may work again. Seemed to have worked for a few people.

Mines fine though, I never seem to have the same problem with electronics other people do? :thumbsup:

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
