fishsponge's ongoing thread of problems!

[fishsponge]

according to met office, peak wind tomorrow in my town will be 28mph, gusting at 64mph.

don't know if I've ever experienced wind like that!!

 

[thebiglad]

That's not a lot of wind !!!!

Here when we get the Mistrale blowing it can be anywhere between 100 and 150kph (nearly 100mph)!!!


Now that's wind

[Mr Noisy]

...Hmmmm....You have the hard eveidence and facts m'lod............

Land rover don't supply them like that as it wouldn't be deemed fit for purpose, you can't buy them in that condition anywhere i've seen and if you were designing a device that required a rubber seal to slide over it with grease behind it, would you make it with a very rough surface?..........er.....no.

Fabulous explanation/reasoning!

if they can seriously disagree with the point NJH is making there, you need to be asking them WHY???!!!

 

[Mr Noisy]

FISH!

i just had a brainwave!

maybe they didnt turn the wheels to full lock to inpect the ball? if not, they wouldnt have seen the worst of it.

if they didnt turn the wheels then its definitely shoddy workmanship so you should be good to go for your 2 hours!

 

[njh2]

......i thankyow......

 

[fishsponge]

good point.

I think i have a fairly good set of ammunition now... and they are being helpful on the phone, so all being well the end will be a happy one!

 

[fishsponge]

Well that was easy

They took a look at it, admitted that it does need doing and they made a mistake last time and are gonna do it for same total price as if I'd had it done at the same time as the wheel bearing. So all in all, very happy!

Good result.

 

[davek0974]

Excellent stuff, good to see they admitted a mistake, many wouldn't.

 

[Mr Noisy]

well, that was worth 33 pages

 

[davek0974]

We could always resurrect it somehow

 

[Mr Noisy]

Obv there will be more pics, then more discussion about the pics.

Could probably do with a couple of pics also.

Look forward to it

Please don't - enough is more than enough.

 

[fishsponge]

Ok, so here's a few pics...







Only joking, of course!

I think this thread has ended. I'm not gonna photograph the new swivel ball and the whole episode is concluded!

Are you sure?????????????????????????????,

 

[Mr Noisy]

thats a shame

 

[paul_c]

Another 34 pages, but on the other side's swivel ball?

 

[fishsponge]

OK, they've not actually replaced the swivel ball yet, but they've said they'll do it for the cost of the parts + £40 labour (which is the extra it would have cost if they'd done it last time).

The other swivel ball is fine, so yes - this is concluded!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Noisy]

who cares about conclusion. turn it into a build thread
