Anybody dealt with this company. The car I bought came with this warranty but I don't know whether to bother transferring it. I do most repairs myself and the car seems pretty good. The downside to transfer is that I have to get it serviced every 6 months somewhere where I usually do it myself and also pay 75 to transfer it.

Does anybody know what workshops they use around Sydney. You can get your car serviced by any workshop but for a repair it goes to one of theirs apparently.

Had a look in the booklet and the cover seems reasonable. Covers the engine aup to 2000 gearbox up to 1500 or something. I'm just wndering whehter they would pay for a 2nd hand box to go in if mine failed or something (not that I plan that to happen). Might have to call them and find out!

Thanks

Ben

If if the all star something or other i had on a used car once for some reason they exclude everything in the policy that can and does break.

If you work on the car yourself I'd read over it to see EXACTLY the parts they do cover.. otherwise good luck to you - i hope you won't need it.

I think you will find that most warranty groups only cover items that VERY rarely break.eg: they will cover you if you shatter a piston, but WON"T if you blow a head gasket.

Even if you blew the head gasket, then shattered a piston on the way to get it fixed they will tell you to bugger off.

Not worth the paper they are written on in my opinion. ESPECIALLY when you are saving money by servicing your car yourself, most workshops charge about $100 just to do an oil change.....add up the cost of that every 5000klms......over the next 50,000klms you just saved a hell of a lot of money (enough to cover a gearbox) Not to mention the cost of the warranty itself......depending on the coverage i think they START at $350.

Good luck with whatever option you choose.

I had a similar warranty for a VS Calais.

One of the solenoids in the Auto packed up, I got a new transmission.

I had to pay the difference between the cost of rebuilding the transmission getting a new one (couple of hundred) but that's it.

$75 aint sh1t in the scheme of things if your turbo pops, ans yes, they will cover it if it's stock boost.

BASS OUT

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
