Have you thought about recording the conversation with them? Not sure bout the legality of doing this but I reckon it might just make em listen as well. Just go back and say you wanna have a final shot at settling things, keep a recorder in your pocket (I know a lot of people that do this when gettin pulled ova by cops) and ofcourse keep calm and let him dig his own hole.

When thats all done, let him know that ACA may have a special interest in your recording. Meanwhile, I hope that MVIRA is able to help ya out.

Good Luck

Nah, I have to say... Dempo's car is my favourite falcon 'cause everything (so far) has been done properly and with a lot of time and consideration...

Only problem is if he keeps on going i'll HAVE to juice up the line to keep infront of him... :)

Not all bad when you think about it though... :)

Ok guys,

I need to have the car diagnosed and a quote to fix... where should I go? (mechanics)...

I live in Hornsby so it has to be close to home, has to operate on weekends too...

Also, while im at it... any good air-con places?... same as above...

cheers.

Ok guys... thought i'd keep updating this (cause i said i would)...

Am having different tyres put on the car by the dealer because the ones on it don't match the placard... took a lil arguing but it's being done so no major dramas there...

I'll be sending in forms to DOFT and MVRIA soon so i'll be eagerly waiting a response and will keep you posted...

YEP!!! Damn snow tyres!!!!!!!! lol

they're getting swapped with different ones... How do i know you blitz/how do you know the car?

The dealer is in concord (not sure what area of sydney that is - not the best geographically)...

Yeah, i know eh man... I wasn't having a go at you either... just trying to say something without saying it if you know what i mean.... (:))

And yeah, I've found the guy who runs the place is EXTREMELY bodgy.... he's failed to meet his OWN WRITTEN CONTRACT on a number of instances so it's off the DOFT and MVRIA i go.... :(

Thanks heaps man,

Dave.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
