Guest Guests Posted 17/12/05 03:38 AM Share Posted 17/12/05 03:38 AM ... but I gotta pay for the pads for the simple reason that its 'user abuse' that cause it.....<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Geez, I hope I never have to have any warranty work done on the "old fella" ... this 'user abuse' thing sounds expensive.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>If a Ford dealer said that to me about brakes, I'd take it somewhere else and get a decent set of brakes put on.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've destroyed 2 sets of rotors in 6 months and am on the 3rd set now...Paul didnt say it in a negative way - he just wanted me to know they cant keep replacing the disks/pads under warranty cause it'll eventually be declined under warranty - which is fair enuf imo. He showed me the pads and disks he took off and they were totally screwed - covered in hot spots and the pads were non existent. If I was a mechanic I'd feel compelled to say "hey man - be fair - these havnt been treated right". But theyve been awesom! Replaced the rotors...cost me $200 for the pads - made it clear that if I drive precious as hard as I have been they're gunna find it hard to cover them. I dont wanna argue with that cause theyre being fair - they could have taken a look at the first set and gone..."ummmm...I dont think so"..but they gave me the benefit of the doubt and replaced em - it happens again - they wouldnt be doing their job if they didnt question it. Tassie is what destroys the brakes - Adelaide just softens em up . I need to upgrade the brakes. IF ONLY ID LISTENED TO VIK oh god I'm gunna hear about it now *prepares for flood of posts*Also got to have a gander at a T ute they had in there - lowered on her @ss with custom exhaust - fery fery noice! Went into the pit and had a look underneath at the work the exhaust place did - very nicely doneSo that's it for me - precious is all happy now and her brakes are back to 'normal'. Might have 2 have a gander to Lee when these brakes fry themselves about some brembos C u all soon!Cain<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well didn't I tell ya so,that I'd be tellinya so,cos I told ya sowhat does he go and get,premium lube,no hang on I mean sound,just had a mental flash of kent,after smoking up the vovo And I'm gunna keep tellin ya sovik...cos I told you so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
