/decided not to type whatever i was going to say......
it'd be regarded as off-topic :D

anyway, MA is recalling my 8 this friday, and lets hope they will replace "stuff"..... see, i can get back on-topic :D

Not that far, Is that a breaky offer!!1 ;-)

Well wanted to just say if u need another dealer to goto, go to my 1. They give free loan car. They will replace ur sparks and starter. Taka went there and they doin the same 2 his car.
Today they checked my car for both recalls (even tho i was only in for 1), i told them my brakes were squeeling - so they put new brake pads, and they checked to c i got the new flashy thingy. they washed my car and vacumed it. I gots no complaints wit em.

So this was all done as part of the recall?
No cost at all?
Can you copy the receipt that they give you and post as a pdf?
It would be good ammo for when I get my car done at the 30k service pre Nats trip.

The starter and spark upgrade isnt part of the recall. My dealer did say however that the 8s are having the upgrade done. No cost for these as it is covered still under warranty. The brake pads are under warranty also.

I dont have a scanner, but my secertary does - and she owes me for a lot of free hot chocolates I have brought her. I'll get her to scan it for me.

Laurence, my car is booked with Grand Prix in Aspley for the recall. I mentioned the brake squeal again as well as difficult start...lets see how they respond.

I may need to get some ammunition as well if they decline these defects.

Ok, im too lazy to call consumer affairs......

I did however call mazda and got a free loan car if i need it.

Booked in tomorrow morning at 8am

thanks....
is she good looking though....? :D
im sure some of us would like to know :D

My car is booked in for the starter upgrade. The service manager mentioned that if a customer reports difficulty starting, they will do the upgrade. I got the impression though that they would not have offered it up had I not asked about it.

Shes in her 40s lol

Explains why she scanned it for me last nite.. but today she tells me she had problem attaching it to email for me....... :rolleyes:

So no breakky ?? My wife will be disappointed ;-)

Well I just realised I am due for a service, So I might just check them out. Thanks.

Andrew

maybe zip it and compress it to the max..... or resize the picture ;)

EDIT:
recall went well today. Michael and James from Rockdale service centre were awesome to deal with...
had a ti grey active-matic 6 for a day.... drives well, but the interior isnt at the rx-8 quality... would love the centre tri-air vents for the 8 though :D

anyway,
lower control arms are fine
did the insulation for the fuel tank + re-flash
fixed the squeaky brakes
steering column rattles are gone for the timebing
starter motor is on order
rear door lock is on order
going back for warranty works next friday :D
and they believed it is dark orange :D :p

[QUOTE=EZZY]
fixed the squeaky brakes

Did they replace the pads or use the so called anti squeal gunk? that still makes the brakes squeak.

[QUOTE=18jambo74]they told me they have used the anti-squeal thingo to start with since i only have done just over 6000km.
if it still making annoying sound by next friday, i will asked them to change the pads... or whenever the sound re-appears :rolleyes:

David or Nathan at service desk are cool :D

Tracy is the ace of the base out at Glen Waverley.....

Everyone get the recall decal on the drivers side door frame?

Stupid place to put recall stickers - they should be under the bonnet somewhere.. By the time we get to the 6th recall that door openning is going to look awful.. :mad: :mad:

From a resale perspective it is crazy...
"What are those stickers for?"
"Recalls"
"But there's so many - what are they for"
"This one is for the exploding fuel tank, this one is the self ejecting lower ball joint and..."
"Aaaarrrrrrggghhhh" <sound of customer running very fast> <trip> <Bang> <crash> <Screech>
"I wonder why they do that???"

ROFL xxup! :D :D

i have two recall stickers even though my lower control arms were okay :rolleyes:
they put it at the same place, and everytime i get into the car i see it :mad: :mad: :mad:
i will take them off and ask for new ones next friday...... guess they will be going under the f'ing bonnet :D

It's to mark that you have been recalled ezzy.

No big deal.

So unless you see your 20's go rolling away from the car when driving,

then be concerned! :D

Yeah they did the same thing to my car at 20k service, 28k now and still squealing.
I am going to insist on a better fix at my 30k service before the Nats.

yeah... but i dont want to see the bloody stickers everytime i get in the car, it sticks out like dogs breakfast, simply ANNOYING :rolleyes:

the annoying sound came back yesterday during the gtg, and the sliding cup holder cover broke as well... so called today and told them i'd like them to be fixed this friday....

I got two stickers on inside of my car door also ezzy

they are an eyesore BIG TIME :rolleyes:
