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

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
