How exactly you go through DFT? Somebody stuffed up installing a strut on my car - they cross threaded the bolt, so the strut sat at an angle, and has now damaged the strut top... they reckon a bearing failed under the strut, and the thread's strippin from the bottom... either way, if turns out to be their fault.. i aint sure how to go about makin 'em pay for the mistake.

need reciept with their company name, date and prferably discription on the reciept..... then just do a google search for department of fair trading phone number.... they'll send you the right direction, although yours sounds hard to prove debb4....

1) You can ask a local solicitor to send them a warning, which can lead to a quicker result!

OR

2) Dept Fair Trading No. = 133220

Being in Sydney, you can go to any branch and fill out forms directly.

OR

3) MTA

4) NRMA legal where Noth**g Real*y Matt*rs Anymor* :D

Tez :banana:

Thanks for that. I've had another mechanic look at the problem:

the gronks installed the strut tops upside down, so they were sitting at an angle and fu(king up...

And now they wanna tell me bout how it shoulda been brought to them to be looked at... after i'd taken it there and they tried to tell me it was a bearing failure, they'd need it back to pull it apart... which was bullshit, so i took it elsewhere to get looked at.... and now discovered this... am pissed off to say the least.

Why don't earthlings who F**K THINGS UP apologise any more?

There's all this BLAME, RECRIMINATION, SPIN, RATIONALISATION BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Politicians do all of that and more....

Do we really have to copy them??? :)

    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
    • From what I am discovering, the grey plug is auto signal. If you car is manual it's not relevant to your set up man.
