So she has copped the blame thus far (were married so threats of no sex fall on deaf ears so I can say what I want) I have heard of ppl smashing the planetaries at huge hp , but at idle and between reverse and drive (wasn't even a roll back) this is a first. Ion say they still havent recieved the box so the car could be some weeks away yet. Not happy jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T007 Woooooooosh Donating Members 734 Member For: 19y 4m 24d Location: Sydney Posted 27/02/06 11:25 AM Share Posted 27/02/06 11:25 AM the dealer guys have actually been quite good, it seems to be ford hq and the box maufacturer. The box manufacturer (ion) wanted to knock back the claim on the grounds that its lowered and non std wheels, the dealer said no way, the suspension and the wheels in no way effect the box, but ion said bigger tyres cause more strain on the box etc. The dealer just laughed and said to ion that the tyres are the same size as offered by ford. The techs in bris did a report stating that it was some kind of bearing failure and has resulted in the boxed being stuffed (and coverter because of swarf). Ion now wants the box shipped to sydney for inspection. As of 3 weeks ago ion have now requested that all damaged boxes be shipped to sydney for a looky see. (confirmed by 2 different dealers). So look out if any one else blows up a box. I got quoted $9800.00 for the box and converter + fitting. 13ford just quoted the company policy etc so no joy ther either.What a disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say the box failed under pressure (wtf) The guy who rang me from the dealer really had no idea of what was wrong only that they knocked it back BASED UPON THIS fORUM. He said ion had read this forum and said that because I stated in this thread that I flog the guts out of the car no warrantee will be reconised. He quoted what I have previously written so there is no deniging they do read the forums. He said ford moniters all the performance forums in australia and keep lists of ppl that they identify. I asked again what failed in the box? he said he didnt know but it was because I flog it. I told him to send the box to kewish autos for a rebuild and an independant report on what had failed. He said no we cant send it to them. Mate if im paying for it you will send the f*cking thing to south africa if I want. He then said I have a $650 + bill to remove the box and dismantle it. Na mate I never asked u to remove it and dismantle it and send it ion, they requested that so those *beep* can pay for that. I want a full engineering report signed by the cockhat at ion (prob the same wa*ker who thought it was because it was lowered) and if the report from kewish says it aint my fault then u, me and cockhat will be in court. If its my fault then I will cop it sweet ( as I have said all along) So be warned pencil necks from ford and suppliers read these forums and research who u are. Im still yet to find out who supplied ion with my details as this is a possible breach of privacy and I will be talking to my brother inlaw (a barrister) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never said I wont pay for it if its my fault, I even offered on day one. I bet they wont supply the engineers report. Talked to my bro inlaw, he said to get a bit more info, but ford are definatly NOT allowed to supply your personal details to anyone without your consent. another thing the ford guy said, "u prob broke it the night before and it failed 1st thing in the morn. Bloody wife, I knew she broke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O2STOCK Donating Members 607 Member For: 19y 2m 17d Location: Brisbane Posted 01/03/06 10:28 AM Share Posted 01/03/06 10:28 AM (edited) Get a report detailing the EXACT faults from ION signed and dated. Photograph and doucument the box BEFORE doing any work to it. As you inlaw would have advised documentation is everything.ION will only pay what it has to, you just need to make a good case, which I think you already have.ION TAKE NOTE !!!
