beauies Member 209 Member For: 21y 5m 1d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 27/04/04 11:12 AM Share Posted 27/04/04 11:12 AM Evening guys and girls,I purchased my T a year ago now with all the sh*t including blue leather steering wheel. The car has travelled 16,000kms and the colouring is wearing off on the right hand side of the wheel. I don't wear any rings or anything else on my hands that will damage the leather. Would this still be classified as a warranty issue or is it to many kms on the clock. Any one else come across this problem so far? And what was the result?Any comments greatly appreciated.

Take it back to your dealer, and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be taking it back and asking them to replace it, at worst they should fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scootre Guests Posted 28/04/04 09:51 AM Share Posted 28/04/04 09:51 AM Well, here's the basics of Australian Consumer Law: "The product must be of merchantable quality" and "the product must fit for the purpose for which it was sold".It's purpose here is to be handled constantly and it isn't lasting. I'd say it fails in both cases, wouldn't you?Go see your dealer. I'm sure they know the score on things like thing. They should give you a new one (and by the way, in this case the warranty on the replaced item generally starts again) or you just go to the Dept of Fair Trading and they'll get a replacement for you.
