_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 4d Posted 29/06/09 07:56 AM Share Posted 29/06/09 07:56 AM I have waited since the end of Febuary for a front bar. Got told ETA is the 26th of june.. I got told Easter, then May.. Had a missed call on friday, rang FPV today spent the usual 20 mins on hold in my lunch break, " Yes sir! We have a new ETA on your parts, its now the end of July.I went right off me tits..I`ve been patient. But this is utter fvcking Bullsh!t.How can we not supply parts for some locally mass produced sh!tbox that's 2 yrs old?See my theory is, okay they had XXXX number of front bars made way back when. There were never going to be any more. they made cars with 95% of `em the remainder were the parts base..The greedy thievin` pricks sold them.. Why wouldn`t they sell a bit of plastic they wouldn`t have 50 bucks in for 2 and a half grand?I don`t give a rats clacker if its slander.They ( Ford ) couldn`t care less. How the hell does it take 5 months to produce a plastic bumper?I ( and every one else who`s waiting and has a car in pieces they can`t drive ) am out of pocket.. I`m paying rego - insurance etc..I got over 50K in some chunka I can`t use..I`d love to get some kind of class action going but we all know how far that`d travel.If I ever met a senior Ford exec I`d sh!t in the cvnt`s mouth.

azasturbo Member 206 Member For: 16y 25d Posted 29/06/09 08:16 AM Share Posted 29/06/09 08:16 AM Should have been more careful then I fail to see how that makes them thieving bastards though. If it was a faulty part and you were waiting under warranty I can understand your anger but you did it so you cant be to angry at them.Just chuck an xr bar on it till the new one arrives then you can winge about how much that cost instead of winging about the insurance and rego etc.FPV crushes scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Spin_ Donating Members 695 Member For: 17y 4d Posted 29/06/09 08:33 AM Share Posted 29/06/09 08:33 AM The repairer.. I felt for him. He had a lot of coin in my car and doesn`t get paid till its finished. When we got the last ETA I said look I can`t see the point in this car sitting here sucking up bog dust and getting driven 50 feet a day out of the shop.. Stick it on a tilt bed its coming home..I got in touch with the Insurer and they agreed to pay him out for what he`d done so far. Its not just FPV stuff either, they waited a couple months for the wheel cover inner guard thing. that's just a Falcon piece.I`m fortunate its not my only car. If it wasn`t some kind of intricate part, or Chirst only knows what, but its not.. Its a big peice of plastic, made in Asia some where.lol, anymore big hearted comments get in before the lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
