A Crash And A Breakdown.

BlueXR6Turbo, any more news? what's the latest?

FMCO and the dealer may be deciding if it is an insurance job rather than a warranty, you were not at fault and should not have to pay a thing, the car must be repaired as new accept nothing less.

Thanks for all the kind thougths guys. No more info yet. The dealer is going to give me a call tomorrow morning (well they say they are anyway). The clunking is from the back of the car. The engine is fine. My cousin who's doing a mechanic's apprenticeship found some ball bearings and broken bits of metal on the road and reckons it's the CV joint. Guy from the dealer on the phone today said something about the diff. Hopefully will know more tomorrow.

This will, if not covered by warranty, surely be covered by insurance or the other idiot paying up.

Good luck

Spoke to the guy again on Friday arvo. He said that everything is sorted out and they've ordered in a new driveshaft. (I think that's what he said anyway.) He hopes it will arrive on Monday, so therefore I hope that I will have my baby back on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. And then I can get the rear bumper repaired!

I can't wait because I'm getting serious withdrawal symptoms. :tears:

Imagine my surprise and delight this afternoon when I got a phone call from the dealer: "Your car's ready for you". :D So off I went and picked up my baby. I didn't speak much with them as I was too eager to get back in the driver's seat. But basically my car now has a new driveshaft. The one good thing to come of all this is that they cleaned my car for me!

That's great to hear. I know the feeling when my little Pulsar SSS was away for a few days. It sucked. I couldn't imagine how it'd feel having an XR6T away for a few days..

Anyways, hope the bad stuff is behind you (In terms of time, had to clarify )

--- Blood Orange XR6T on order - almost 1 week gone, about 15 to go :(
