the warranty won't cover because noting has actually 'broke' and it was a mecanical error.
Just over 12mths ago (before we finally found a great mechanic) this one mechanic did the timing belt etc and he didn't locktite the nut on. Hence over time it has been working its way loose and that whistling noise I was hearing that we were trying to figure out was it just a coincidence from when we put the roo whistles on at the same time, or was it something mechanical.
Of course we could ring this mechanic but he isn't going to fix it, he'll just lie through his teeth. THe good guys lose out every time and it is the liars and cheats that always win. And I often wonder to myself why I am becoming a hard and cynical person!

of course I dont know the full story, only what I have read here but isnt it a bit harsh to call him those things when he doesnt even know it has failed, let alone tried to lie his way out of it?

fair coment, but no we had approached him on a few other things and he denied it, and stuff that we'd ask him to do when he had the car he'd say he's done it, charge us and we'd later find out he hadn't at all... unbeknownst to us at the time, this mechanic had a reputation for dodgy work. Our great mechanic now has fixed up many of his bodgies on ours and other vehicles and the mechanic who had the car with the current situation as soon as we said this guys name he knew exactly what we were talking about.

Good luck Jo.

I just rang the warranty people again to try and get them to pay up on the grounds of mechanical error because we used their 'recommended repairer' for all the car stuff until we found Paul. I knew I was wasting money on the phone call but worth a shot.
Tide is turning into another tsunami!

ahahahaaa I have to learn to hold on when I am on it!!!!!!!!!!!! male testosterone + motorbike = Hold on!!!!!

We put a new computer in the paj only 2 weeks ago, that was $700 bucks. Pity it wasn't anything to do with that cause then mitsu might have picked up the tab!

Now don't anyone get this wrong and go 'see that's why I never bought a pajero!'
The vehicle itself is great and mechanically has been very good, the few breakdowns we've had from it are a result of either idiot mechanical errors or from the fact that as it is basically getting rebuilt each time we put her in for a service etc, then murphys law as you do something new, something old will die on it. Or from ^&%$#%^)(*&%&%*&%&* drivers who see a big target situated on the vehicle in a position where they think 'hey this is a good spot to hit!'

Hope all is going well Tim, you'll have to send me your email addy again.

Cheers
Jo
