What's Going On With Stathfield Morayfield?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Any one know what's up with the Morayfield branch of Strathfield.

They have been closed for 2 weeks now, and they installed my alarm/immobilizer nearly 2 years ago and now it is being very temperamental.

I figure since they installed it, they can look at it only problem is I can't even contact them.

I have left emails, called repeatedly, called other branches (slacks creek was useless) and I can't get thru to anyone.

now my car won't start sometimes due to the immobilizer being active and the central locking has stopped working, I'm at a loss as what to do with my situation.

I have even threatened Strathfield that if I didn't get a reply within a week I would be seeking further action, and that was last monday 17/1/11 well over 7 days now.

The goose I spoke to at slacks creek basically told me he didn't care that they were not open because it was shut due to 'health and safety' reasons.

Being heavily into workplace health and safety (whso/rep) I know this is not the case they should have been opened up by at least last Wednesday, (unless they have some retarded policy stating other wise)

I doubt I have any sort of case against them so seeking further action would be a stupid waste of time, money and effort.

would it be worth calling up Cyclops alarms to see where the next closest distributor is and working it out from there or should I wait for Strathfield and sling them abuse when they finally open their doors?

Any advice would be handy :)

thanks

When I spoke to the Slacks Creek store I asked for the regional managers/Rep number and the person I spoke to refused to give it to me.

EDIT : I just googled "strathfield headoffice number" badabing badaboom. I'll try it in the morning.

I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, thanks.

any other advice is welcome.

Seeing it was over 2 years ago, you may no longer be covered under warranty. It may not be that the product is faulty but there's something has come loose and it would require someone to get in there and have a look. Not exactly the same field but in the computer store I worked in for a while there was a 7 day warranty on labour. Might want to check out the invoice and read through the fine print, might speed things up for you a little and you can take it to someone else who will answer your phone calls!

Hrm yeah sounds a bit suss. I'm just guessing here but maybe if they're separately owned stores that one went broke? Dunno. The difficulty you're having getting a straight answer doesn't fill me with confidence in any case.

If you don't have any joy with getting hold of them, or need it fixed ASAP, +1 for Audio Express. If anyone can sort your alarm out it's Chris :)

dunno,

gievn that thye screwed the franchisees out aof a LOT of money when coporate took them all back over, I dare say that the corporate office has shut that one down as well. I know the rocklea one (mal meninga) went down in a ball of flames that way.

when it went franchise they still expected the franchisees to put their daily takings into the SCR account and not their own accounts. (as you are supposed to do.) the staff at the time lost everything - holidays,sickleave - the lot.

if its flood related then you may be in for a headache as they *may* turn it into a phone stall in the main shopping centre. cheaper for them and less headache to refit the store.

as for your issue. I sell the cyclops units. is your remote the arrow head or a different one?

have you changed the batteries?

if arrow head - pull the unit apart and give it a GOOD clean. those had a nasty habit of dying due to dirt. (the buttons are mica based and do not conduct after a while.)

if all else fails - toss it on a truck and send it down to me. I'll fix it.

Ok thanks for all the advice, it has been a help. I agree with you that abuse is not going to help anything. My diff should be in within the next fortnite so you will probably get a call from me soon Chris.

In the meantime I will take apart the remote x2 (neither work) and clean it all out. The blue light comes on the remote but it's like the receiver has crapped itself, I used to be able to sit next to the car and just repeatedly hit the remote buttons for about 5 mins

before it would unlock, now I just keep it key locked and moved it inside the garage. lol.

So i'm not going to bother with strathfield anymore when the diff is in and the car starts i will just take it to Audio-express.

Thanks all

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
