What's Going On With Stathfield Morayfield?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Any one know what's up with the Morayfield branch of Strathfield.

They have been closed for 2 weeks now, and they installed my alarm/immobilizer nearly 2 years ago and now it is being very temperamental.

I figure since they installed it, they can look at it only problem is I can't even contact them.

I have left emails, called repeatedly, called other branches (slacks creek was useless) and I can't get thru to anyone.

now my car won't start sometimes due to the immobilizer being active and the central locking has stopped working, I'm at a loss as what to do with my situation.

I have even threatened Strathfield that if I didn't get a reply within a week I would be seeking further action, and that was last monday 17/1/11 well over 7 days now.

The goose I spoke to at slacks creek basically told me he didn't care that they were not open because it was shut due to 'health and safety' reasons.

Being heavily into workplace health and safety (whso/rep) I know this is not the case they should have been opened up by at least last Wednesday, (unless they have some retarded policy stating other wise)

I doubt I have any sort of case against them so seeking further action would be a stupid waste of time, money and effort.

would it be worth calling up Cyclops alarms to see where the next closest distributor is and working it out from there or should I wait for Strathfield and sling them abuse when they finally open their doors?

Any advice would be handy :)

thanks

When I spoke to the Slacks Creek store I asked for the regional managers/Rep number and the person I spoke to refused to give it to me.

EDIT : I just googled "strathfield headoffice number" badabing badaboom. I'll try it in the morning.

I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier, thanks.

any other advice is welcome.

Seeing it was over 2 years ago, you may no longer be covered under warranty. It may not be that the product is faulty but there's something has come loose and it would require someone to get in there and have a look. Not exactly the same field but in the computer store I worked in for a while there was a 7 day warranty on labour. Might want to check out the invoice and read through the fine print, might speed things up for you a little and you can take it to someone else who will answer your phone calls!

Hrm yeah sounds a bit suss. I'm just guessing here but maybe if they're separately owned stores that one went broke? Dunno. The difficulty you're having getting a straight answer doesn't fill me with confidence in any case.

If you don't have any joy with getting hold of them, or need it fixed ASAP, +1 for Audio Express. If anyone can sort your alarm out it's Chris :)

dunno,

gievn that thye screwed the franchisees out aof a LOT of money when coporate took them all back over, I dare say that the corporate office has shut that one down as well. I know the rocklea one (mal meninga) went down in a ball of flames that way.

when it went franchise they still expected the franchisees to put their daily takings into the SCR account and not their own accounts. (as you are supposed to do.) the staff at the time lost everything - holidays,sickleave - the lot.

if its flood related then you may be in for a headache as they *may* turn it into a phone stall in the main shopping centre. cheaper for them and less headache to refit the store.

as for your issue. I sell the cyclops units. is your remote the arrow head or a different one?

have you changed the batteries?

if arrow head - pull the unit apart and give it a GOOD clean. those had a nasty habit of dying due to dirt. (the buttons are mica based and do not conduct after a while.)

if all else fails - toss it on a truck and send it down to me. I'll fix it.

Ok thanks for all the advice, it has been a help. I agree with you that abuse is not going to help anything. My diff should be in within the next fortnite so you will probably get a call from me soon Chris.

In the meantime I will take apart the remote x2 (neither work) and clean it all out. The blue light comes on the remote but it's like the receiver has crapped itself, I used to be able to sit next to the car and just repeatedly hit the remote buttons for about 5 mins

before it would unlock, now I just keep it key locked and moved it inside the garage. lol.

So i'm not going to bother with strathfield anymore when the diff is in and the car starts i will just take it to Audio-express.

Thanks all

    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
