What state are you in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonydav Member 12 Member For: 20y 2m 16d Posted 17/03/06 03:55 AM Author Share Posted 17/03/06 03:55 AM In outer Sydney NSW.Looks like I'll have to look into getting it done elsewhere as the contract says "warranty on certain items may be voided due to performance modifications". He said to me "warranty on the engine" but "certain items" is what he wrote so I guess no point in pursuing them.Still waiting on Ford Customer Care to ring me back but not holding my breath on a favourable outcome.** Hold the press ** FCC were just on the phone. No surprise. Any mod at all voids the warranty and they're not interested in discussing it further.So looks like I'll need to ring around. Any suggestions in Western Sydney? The original work was done by Autotek at Granville and I spoke to Spiro about some additional work about 6 months ago. I'm a little worried about driving it that far as apparently it's vibrating quite badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonydav Member 12 Member For: 20y 2m 16d Posted 17/03/06 05:05 AM Author Share Posted 17/03/06 05:05 AM Is it likely to be damaged driving it further? I.e. will it make it more costly to repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have spoken to Spiro before, give him a call as I am sure he will point you in the right direction of a transmission specialist that knows the T's autos and will be able to help you out.

tonydav Member 12 Member For: 20y 2m 16d Posted 17/03/06 08:02 AM Author Share Posted 17/03/06 08:02 AM Think my wife will divorce me if I don't get it fixed in the next week . It's my company car but she drives it.I wasn't so much thinking of delaying getting it fixed, more worried about how far I can drive it to get it fixed. (E.g. Windsor is 3-5kms, Granville is probably closer to 40kms).Good idea though to give Spiro a call. He was very good to speak to last time and I'm sure he'll help if he can. If he can fix the transmission I might also get the next lot of mods happening !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. will it make it more costly to repair?I had my convertor sh!t itself on Wed night. Dropped the pan on the auto today and there are metal filings through the trans oil. The less you drive it, the less chance of more damage IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
