So what is the offending FWD POS????

 

Yeah seems a bit secrective on what you've actually aquired! :wink:

 

Its AWD.

 

 

Grass isn't greener on the other side it would seem.

Spoken to a few mates over the last few days and seems everyone has a different opinion. The car dealer have changed the front CV joints for sure but not the back ones. And it seems thats where the problem is.

 

I just took some pics...

 

Drop a turbo motor in it! :dance:

Or he COULD have just bought either a Legacy GT-B Blitzen or GT-B E-Tune... Both twin turbo wagons, both JDM personal imports, both ridiculously fast and rare as rocking horse poo...

 

Lemmie make the phone call John... I could procure either one right frikkin now :dance:

Maybe later on down the track she may go wooosh. :dance:

 

Here are the pics I took on the weekend...

 

Needs more slammage factor!

I'm sorry to hear about all the problems Jon and i hate to say it but i think the spirit of Lolla is haunting your new car and causing issues to pay you back for selling her :dance:

So... did you knock a girl up and need a family car Jip!? :dance:

I got the trade so if anyones interested in the old jipmobile let me know

lOl. Well I took the car back Monday and haven't heard anything. So I rang today around lunch and he said he would call me back. So at 5pm after not hearing from him I rang again. He then rang the workshop then told me the service guys are away on holidays. Like WTF everyone!?!?! So apparently they sent my car away to a place where they do front ends and may not know anything about it till tomorrow or Monday.

 

I think they are changing the front diff even tho RACQ said it was the rear diff. So I guess I'll ride this out, let them replace as many parts as I can with brand new ones, then have them to the major service that the car is due for, a full tank of fuel and a few upgrades for free. :dance:

I thought you were getting a GT Forester. :bash:

Doesn't matter I would rather have a Liberty to :no2:

Cool car man I love it :dance:

i thought it was a black forester GT ?

Na, I had to let go of the Forester sadly.

 

Well today I'm driving a Mazda 3...

 

And man it flies!!

 

Only thing is the landing isn't so soft :dance:

 

My bad.

^^^^^ :dance: Awsome :bash: ^^^^^

I work at a Mazda dealership and have always wanted to know what it would be like to trash a 3

c'mon this is all pretty normal in a dealership world, I've come from a dealership world so I should know. My old dealership though was one of the better ones (I've since found out)

 

Loan cars are shitboxes that they can't/haven't sold yet, shit goes wrong left right and centre and they are the LAST things to get fixed! All work is prioritised, in the order of: Retail, warranty, usedcar warranty, internal...

 

and CV's being noisy are NOT a RWC failable item. even split boots are NOT a RWC failable item, ONLY if grease leaks DIRECTLY onto the brake rotors are they failable, which hardly ever happens. RWC's are a joke, trust me on that!!

 

My suggestion, would be to be persistant but remain friendly and nice to them, when they finally fix the problem, buy the service manager a carton of his favourite beer to share with the service department, and the next time you have dramas, there won't be any problems at all warranty wise.
