Dec 02 as well.

Problems - only a few, nothing too serious.

Brake shudder, I replaced them with DBA slotted at my own expense

Exhaust heat sheilds were loose, got re-tightened, went loose again and were replaced under warranty

Heater fan was noisy apparently, replaced under warranty

Foglight bulb was blown, replaced under warranty

Jun 03 XR8 ex-demo purchased late march 04.

Problem/s Resolution

1st visit - 7800kms

Oil leak: Resealed whole engine block.

ssh ssh noise: No noise audible on inspection

Power steering contaminated: Advised it was normal wear and tear

**Oil leak still evident after visit, 'ssh ssh' noise definatly there!

2nd visit

Oil leak: Replaced 'rocker gasket cover' and resealed engine(again)

ssh ssh: Told noise was within tolerable levels and was wear and tear. Charged $42 to tighten handbrake shoes.

**ssh ssh problem not resolved, now worse.

3rd visit

ssh ssh noise: Retightened handbrake

**still didn't work.

4th visit

Car not starting everytime: Told there was nothing wrong, could be the way I'm starting it??? I drive an Auto.

ssh ssh: Tightened handbrake again.

5th visit

Starting problem still there: reflashed ecu, advised there is nothing wrong even though the guy from the service department took 3 goes to start the car.

ssh ssh: Tightened handbrake again.

15000km service at different dealership(RATTS Dealership).

Great service, very upfront and professional. I was advised that the handbrake was

faulty. Said I would take it back to the dealership that has adjusted it.

6th visit

starter problem still there: finally found the fault. Crank angle sensor replaced after they had the part shipped up from melbourne.

ssh ssh: Hand brake fixed. still has ssh ssh noise though.

Currently:

The starter problem has returned,

The ssh ssh noise is louder than it has ever been,

There is a hissing noise when I accelerate.

Damo.
