Has anyone had any experience with a friendly engineer, who could do a report for my car.... preferably 1 where he could cover my bonnet, however i realise the issue with CF bonnets.

smasha Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 eeek. Man, whenever I hear of a defect, i get scared. hasn't happened to me yet, although I did drive past a defect station a few weekends ago, on the pacific highway near the F3 of all places. I was tucked in behind a bus, as a friendly Taxi driver flashed me a warning. good luck with clearing it all Susp., let us all know how u go, as I'm sure I'll need the info sometime soon. Just out of curiosity, where did it happen? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117622-defected/#findComment-2163668 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECR033 Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Can't really help, but points 4 & 5 seem a little rough. Technically speaking, I guess each point mentioned could be seen as a defect, but they must have really had it in for you if they went to the effort of checking all those minor little things... Good luck getting it all sorted. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117622-defected/#findComment-2163674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1GTR Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Well its only fair that club members get the benefits - im sure you understand Without listing names and numbers, which would defeat the point, there are several places listed with engineers on staff who can, and have helped out SAU'ers before. Price guides included. I would tell you the names myself, but its just not fair to paying members - sorry Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/117622-defected/#findComment-2163746 Share on other sites More sharing options...
