sparksy Member 49 Member For: 18y 8m Posted 17/10/08 02:02 PM Author Share Posted 17/10/08 02:02 PM A quick update a month and a half on...Diff is still apparently on order. I've been told its being built by whoever builds them for Ford. And still no update on the brake fluid spill ruining the caliper paint. Seems like I'm being fed bullsh*t.On a side issue... I had a dickhead side swipe me in a round about... apparently every rear bar for a BF phoon has manufacturing defects.. and the body shop can't tell me when they can get a new one.Senna, or anyone else that works in a dealership.. any advice with how to deal with these peoblems?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually need some prep work, but it won't be heaps like a Fibreglass one.In regards to the diff, it took two weeks for my service dept to get a new one for my sedan, if they are getting an outside company to re-build yours I'd tell them to hurry the hell up!

sparksy Member 49 Member For: 18y 8m Posted 18/10/08 03:18 AM Author Share Posted 18/10/08 03:18 AM Thanks guys,They are not rebuilding my diff... its still in the car. So I am getting the impression they are stalling me. The panel shop have had 3 bars.. with a week turn around for each. Apparently all 3 have been defective and beyond just a little prep work. Yeah Brett, not modded yet. I can only imagine the dick around I would be getting if I had modded already. Moving to the Gold Coast at the end of the year mate.. should have some work done to her down there. Gonna love the drive up to Canungra every winter morning for work!!!
