Wish you all the best, I apologise for the comment about your mother depressed panda or whatever your name is, but I will not be making any more comments on this forum. Not for me and not interested in waisting my time for trolling. All the beat to you all, and wish you all nothing but health and happiness (not at my expense though). Just one last thing, if someone goes at making 50k a year, gets a loan and buys a $600,000 property, does that make them rich? My car is worth 140,000 plus the ford, and I have a new mortgage now too. Does that make me rich cause my liabilities out way my assets? I dont think so. Just remmeber, most of you have been modding cars most your lives. I havent, and saved 80% of all money I have ever earnt and never bought myself anything special except for a few items. Don't jude a book by its cover. And regarding to life, you'll always need a solicitor and an accountant in life, even when you die (your will and taxes etc)

Actually no, that would be your mum. As for my job, I work for a solicitor firm, under a barrister. Yes, I do at times act like a paper pusher, but I'm not a para legal after all. As for other comments: The testa is not a weekend car. I don't drive it due to value and it's low k's. I didnt bring the car up as a bragging right as it means nothing at the end of the day. You can buy one for 100k. As for the ba, it is a daily driver and will move on to mustang depending on ford's outcomes. I am educating myself, worked 3 months without any financial support or wages just to land this job. Understand why the ba was the best choice for me? Why do most of you go on hating and taking the piss out of others? Are your lives that terrible that being keyboard heroes gives you satisfaction that you attempted to bully someone else? I'm quite curious as to why a question and my anger with the expense has triggered most of you. Also, to make something clear, my question was just answered by a member privately and another on this thread. Thank you to them both. Btw, checked with my boss. You are to recieve your asset in the same way if not improved from when you dropped off to when you arrive to pay your bills. Any damage done by a mechanic is subject to that mechanic or employees regardless as they are taking responsibility of it. I was given an example of a car wash. If someone damages the paint or a polish job goes wrong and your spoiler falls off, it is not subject to wear and tear. If something brakes due to someone's actions, they are liable unless stated in their clauses snd it is signed before the client leaves their motor vehicle at your premesis.

Thank you for being considerate Kimberley. Love the car, but a lot of dramas with the BA mark 1 atm for me. Waiting 2 years, and would like to see how the new mustangs will turn out. If they do come out with the F6 power plant in the mustang, will be my choice rather than the 335 system. Already saving

Common sense is too expensive in time and expenses in suing a company if it's not thousands at stake. Btw, I have asked a simple question, which I have repeated multiple times, and still no answer. Only replies are ones like yours, smart arse keyboard warrior comments that you use intended to insult me. However, all I can see is simple minded and ignorant. The question AGAIN is on the lines of this: where does the liability of damage on a motor vehicle transfer to a mechanic when they are doing work to your motor vehicle? I know that when tuning and when dyno running the car, you take full responsibility (upon signing a declaration). Real answers to this question please, not ones that relate to the past posts. Kind regards, A fellow ford owner

The issue I have is not about a lousy cap. It's about charging me 1 1/2 hrs to open the head gasket and collect it. There is a contract of service, and it has nothing about damages. Like explained earlier, where does the liability off the consumer occur? If u have an operation and next day you have blood positioning or an infection like staff, indemnity and liability cover the hospital and surgeon as they are responsible. So in comparison, when would the mechanic be liable?

Who put your panties in a twist? I never insultedhis intelligence, nor do I know him. As for me, I asked a question and was open for positive feed back. If you have nothing positive to say like your friend did earlier, then do not comment. It's quite simple. FYI, for someone to be the 'one of the most experienced ford mechanic in the country', you should: 1) prove it, 2) see if the person cares who is the best or not (and if they do, refer to part 1) )

I am learning. I am a in final year of commerce/law and just started with a solicitor firm. However, never sh*t where u work, so not asking any questions. As for the car, it's a ba xr6 turbo, 110,000kms and the cap was less than 3 years old. Live in the eastern suburbs of sydney and drive to parramatta every evening for uni. Just stop start there, cruise back. No heavy foot on the accelerator, just on the clutch. As for your comment, no need for you to be sarcastic. I also own a testarossa (inherited through my father) and it's a 1985 model with 600miles. I am a car enthusiast. I know a lot more than some people out there when it comes to cars. HOWEVER, the point I had was; where is the line where the consumer isn't liable? Legally speaking, if you are employed to do a service, you are liable. Their contract of service doesn't state anything about breakage.

Never had this problem before, seemed perfect to me. Problem was he didn't open easy, just kinda went at it. Then, when the ring fell in (had the top part in his hand though), he tried to get it out with pliers. When pulling out, he snapped it again into 1/2. Thus, 1/4 of the part was in my block. Just sh*ts me that you pay for a service, and if something breaks upon their fault, it shouldn't be me paying for it. For example, (an asset is still an asset, hence my example); IF someone is doing some pipework to your house (plumber), and they accidently broke a few bricks, they would replace it at their cost. It's their fault. NOW, if a mechanic changes the oil for your brakes and by accident the caliper or something else falls off and brakes...is it my fault and thus my expense? Where's the line that you cross where someone who is being paid to maintain or fix something, has an accident, and then your still liable? If this is the case, then performance mechanics should have pritty low insurance premiums if their is limited public liability and professional indemnity....

Had my car serviced by a repable shop known by everyone in sydney, cost $280. Was happy with it, minus the fact when they took off my oil cap on block (top of my xr6 turbo), the cap broke in half. Half in one hand, other half fell in. Question is: should I have been charged the extra 120 (costing me 420 all up) to open it up and get the part out when it was their fault? What are your thoughts?

Go the FG AT the end of the day, a sleeper is one that gets less attention from the po po and it is cheaper to mod. I completely agree with "nelsonian101" btw. if you have the $$$, which it sounds like you have, I would go the ford and work it out. Remember too, the insurance on the falcon will be much less than the evo, and the parts are also way cheaper. Being young, it's about the wrong attention and the fact that you can go on long cruises and you'll always have a large quantity of ponies and torque under the tyres when you want to smoke someone

hey guys and girls, My name is Jason and I am now a first time ford owner. Traded my 2004 peter solberg edition wrx (listed on carsales by the dealership, NSW, New Lambton Auto Centre), for an orange 2003 (buit december 2003) XR6-T with manual trans. It has leather interior, premium sound, slotted discs all around, SS induction kit, and cat back exhaust. I traded the car in the saturday before last (with no extra costs). Put H4 (Hi/Lo)'s in last night. Other than that, getting a tune done soon. Hope to meet some of you soon. BTW, my younger brother has a blue BA xr6 turbo (auto) with a stage 3 kit.
