How exactly you go through DFT? Somebody stuffed up installing a strut on my car - they cross threaded the bolt, so the strut sat at an angle, and has now damaged the strut top... they reckon a bearing failed under the strut, and the thread's strippin from the bottom... either way, if turns out to be their fault.. i aint sure how to go about makin 'em pay for the mistake.

need reciept with their company name, date and prferably discription on the reciept..... then just do a google search for department of fair trading phone number.... they'll send you the right direction, although yours sounds hard to prove debb4....

1) You can ask a local solicitor to send them a warning, which can lead to a quicker result!

OR

2) Dept Fair Trading No. = 133220

Being in Sydney, you can go to any branch and fill out forms directly.

Sydney = 2-24 Rawson Place McKell Building

Parramatta = 1 Fitzwilliam St

Blacktown = Level 3 22 Main St

Hurstville = Level 3 4-8 Woodville St

Liverpool = Shop 1R 33 Moore St

Penrith = 518 High St (but not sure if it's there any more)

OR

3) MTA

OR

4) NRMA legal where Noth**g Real*y Matt*rs Anymor* :D

Tez :banana:

Thanks for that. I've had another mechanic look at the problem:

the gronks installed the strut tops upside down, so they were sitting at an angle and fu(king up...

And now they wanna tell me bout how it shoulda been brought to them to be looked at... after i'd taken it there and they tried to tell me it was a bearing failure, they'd need it back to pull it apart... which was bullshit, so i took it elsewhere to get looked at.... and now discovered this... am pissed off to say the least.

Why don't earthlings who F**K THINGS UP apologise any more?

There's all this BLAME, RECRIMINATION, SPIN, RATIONALISATION BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Politicians do all of that and more....

Do we really have to copy them??? :)

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
