Get a Mal Woods short throw and be done with it.....

He is doomed up here till the ute gets fixed, him and his mate have to go back to work on Monday, flights are $400ea one way and he cant rent a car as he is under 25..

Thrifty hires cars to people under 25, as long as they have a full licence, I hired from them few times.

He bought the ute from a car yard and they have given a warranty on it. Its had a cam, injectors, larger TB, extractors n exhaust and a tune. Im surprised they warrantied the thing at all.... He just got the ute back like 2 weeks ago from the panel beaters after a little sideways incident in the wet. Had it for like 2 days then this fault happened. The car yard had it fixed under warranty and got it back from them last tuesday. He drove it up here and she has failed again, interesting thought with the Rip shift idea. that's a possibility.

Thanks for the heads up about thrifty, ill look into that. Its getting trucked down here and is booked into the Expensive Daewoo dealership 12pm on Monday, so hopefully the trucky has it loaded by 10am. Him and his mate will have to arrange a few extra days off work it seems..

Let some one else drive the Mini..............

Is that your ute on carsales at the moment? Selling it after all the work you did to it.

[hanra]

Yep.

[hanra]

Ah, so it seems Expensive Daewoo knows about this fault...! No doubt I could fix this to at least get him home, but the thing is 2 hours away locked up at a RACQ depo....

if the ute had the cam etc done b4 he brought it yes they have to give warranty on it. I dont know about all states but when u buy a second hand car from a car yard they have to give it warranty by law.

tell him to get a rip shifter. had one in my ute n was awsome....

[hanra]

Yeah all the work was done to it prior to him buying it from the car yard. He dosnt want me fix it for fear of voiding his warranty. But it would be cheaper for the car yard!! Its costing $275 to truck it to Expensive Daewoo on Monday. I reckon I could at least pop the ball back into the socket to get him on the road at least.
