back from regency

[mr_rbman]

well as some of you know my car was defected and i had my appointment today, got my dad to take it in as recommended by a few people.

Turned out to be pointless in the end though getting my dad to take it because they were still pricks. spent hours last night at work cleaning under the car and doing exhaust even though it was already quiet for them in the end to defect me once again for a 'WORN UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSH'

As you can probably imagine i was peaking when dad told me then for him to tell me that he'd found out that i was not allowed to drive the car at all until my next regency appointment not even with a permit but to make things even more worse the bushes are going to cost me $280.

I am so wroked up that i had to get this off my chest, anyways thanks for listening guys and just touch wood you guys don't get defected!

man you havent been haivng any luck. of all thing they pick worn bushes - what pricks. Hope you get it on the road soon. When is next inspection?

[chops]

Is that all they picked?

To be honest, I would have preferred they gave you a bigger list of things - almost makes me think they are going to do it again next time you go back... just to be "nice".

Best of luck anyway mate, hope it all goes very smoothly next time.

ye thats all they did me for but they said that they only check the things they noticed at the inspection and don't look at anything else but we'll see what happens.

don't have my next inspection booked yet cause i haven't got the bushes. Anyone know where i can get cheap decent bushes?

[chops]

Best of luck with it mate, I hate how it's so hit and miss.

They should be required to do a THOROUGH inspection and list EVERYTHING they can find that doesn't comply, so you don't have this crap where people are heading back 3 and four times to get a car through.

i know it sux, especially when it costs u a small fortune eveyrtime u go!

Took the upper control arms off today, the bushes don't look worn at all to me! you may be able to see from the photos but maybe not. the thing is whilst i was taking these off i looked at my radius rod bushes which they put a warning on my defect notice saying that they will need replacing soon but wasn't essential and they looked cracked and worn to buggery, just shows there inconsistency!
