G'day Bill

I was in Town(Port Pirie) today and bought a new one and geez in cost an arm and a leg,

So I was wondering if I can put in a Warranty Claim???

LOL

I would hit them for it and see if they can come to you to fit it.

Or go to them and get then to put you up in resort style accomadation. (Clare Country Club) is nice.

Regards Richard

Willem you havn't seen our wandering whistle from Warraweena have you?

What a load of twoddle Roach, not only didnt i have the Wandering Whistle last week, I havent seen it either, and neither did you!!!
You just concentrate on helping Willem, as it was you that touched my good work after it was certified and put your mechanical skills curse on it.
Sending him a cheque will help with his pain!!!

Hi Willy,

Glad to see you are back home after a safe trip to the north.
Don't know what you paid in Pirie, but are around $35 - $ 40 approx in Jamestown.

hey willem
5 min warranty is all they honour ....strueth mate

go get the accc or consumer affairs onto them...even try current affairs or today tonight

claim "it wasnt fit for pupose"...but then again maybe it was the workers who werent fit for purpose?...and if thats the case dont buy them drinks anymore...get real folks to mend your 4by

remind me not to get work done by those out-of-towner country hillbillys

Ahhh, that's where I've been going wrong!!!! I usually try to do most work on my Patrol (not that it ever needs "work" as such; more like tinkering.....but it's a waste of time trying improve on perfection....) first thing in the morning when I'm stone-cold sober.

I guess that means I should either start drinking when I get out of bed, or save my "work" until last thing at night before I go to bed. Actually, the latter option would probably be best, cos then i wouldn't be able to see what mistakes I was making (nor would anybody else)......;-))

Yeah, same as the stuff Pesty has done on our car.... once it is off his concrete the guarantee is finished!

All still working good though......

TD100

It is the old type silver battery solenoid(the size of a small vegemite jar) to isolate the batteries.

You could possibly use them for the winch?

The new one is a Unipoint packaged in Qld. Probably Chinese made

Hang on a minute Willem, are you sure it wasn't a vegimite jar they used.......I heard something they said about it having a piece of string and another jar that Pesty and Rochie were trying to sell as a satellite phone.

Nah no good for winch as they have 2 sets of contacts compared to 1 for the battery isolator,try a reputable auto spares place or auto lec they should have that brand or know where to get it.cheers Paul

Willie, I think Paul may be offering his winch solenoids to you instead of the Chinese one you have. A very generous offer. You would then have a backup, but would you need to operate the winch switch to make em work? ;-D))))
