Well I just got sent a video of the entire side of the driveway being dug up (like 150m long battleaxe block entry) because the original developer used some crappy soft electrical/phone cable conduit and filled rocks in on top of it, crushing it. Trying to get a hold of them to see if they will cover the extra cost :/ We were on good terms with the old owners and they still live in the street so fingers crossed.

Wouldn't there be some sort of law or regulation covering that?

Anyone want a solid trans mount and possibly some solid fg engine mounts? Gonna swap back to factory mounts in the next few weeks.

Over the NVH as the ute is actually getting driven now.

We bought under the belief that the conduit was done and would be usable so there's that angle...but see how things go. No reply from the seller yet...need to chat to another neighbour on a battleaxe block next door who had to get them to dig up the road end (conduit 1.5m below ground level) a couple years back when they built.

Mate I want to play devils advocate. But read the conditions of your sale. Generally you buy the land/house as is. That's why you get all that time to organise building and electrical and pest inspections etc.

But in saying that as well. Nothing sh*ts me more than people who cheap out and install internal flexible conduit underground instead of HD PVC or at least PVC.

I hope you get a good outcome but don't be surprised if you don't get anything.

Edit: instead of the old owners if you have an email from the real estate claiming the conduit is installed or all working etc, that's probably a better line to try for reimbursement.
