irokin Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 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. Quote
JiP Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Posted July 11, 2009 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... Quote
7shades Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 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: Quote
JiP Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 Maybe later on down the track she may go wooosh. :dance: Here are the pics I took on the weekend... Quote
KE ping it real Posted July 14, 2009 Report Posted July 14, 2009 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: Quote
Taz_Rx Posted July 15, 2009 Report Posted July 15, 2009 So... did you knock a girl up and need a family car Jip!? :dance: Quote
curly Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 I got the trade so if anyones interested in the old jipmobile let me know Quote
JiP Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 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: Quote
roladude Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 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: Quote
JiP Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 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. Quote
roladude Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 ^^^^^ :dance: Awsome :bash: ^^^^^ I work at a Mazda dealership and have always wanted to know what it would be like to trash a 3 Quote
rob83ke70 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Posted July 16, 2009 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.
