Not happy with garage

[essexhsv]

Well what can i say about them....... They dont really give a dam.

I took my Ro in there for them to check my rear diff after a few oil leaks and a propshaft bolt coming undone after they removed it. They then told me today my diff is working ok

Then i showed the service guy a video on my laptop of my car wheel spinning in the snow and only 1 wheel turning. Theres nothing limited about the way my diff was slipping there......

Then he still said its ok, at that point i felt like knocking him out when he said we have checked it on a ramp and its ok Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

So i left the dealer with 1 really long burn out and a lots of f**king noise.

After i left my friend who works at the dealer then emailed me saying he thought a plane was about to land in the show room with the noise i made lol

Ill never go back there again.....

Thats that off my chest.......hows everyone else on here tonight....

Sorry for any bad grammar as ive had lots of Stella tonight

[vxrphantom]

[Drew SS]

[Bonnie and Clyde]

What a nightmare Seriously i'm glad Monkfish are close enough to us not to have to use a "dealer". I just don't trust anyone else.
Hope you get it sorted flower

I think your expectation of what your diff will do is a little high. The LSD basically wont work unluess the oil is fully upto temp. I doubt anyone could do that in a Monaro in the snow. Normally needs a few miles at 50mph plus to do that.

It spins on one side all the time now even before the snow. But i did take it out for a spin, then came home then filmed it.

Ive only took it back to VX because the warrenty runs out today and if there was any damage to the diff due to the other oils leaks in the year.

heres my video i showed the VX dealer and they said the LSD is ok
And that was after about a 14 miles trip.

Really?

I always attributed the slight wheelspin that you can feel (pulling out of junctions etc) to the LSD - even when the car is cold.

I would assume as neither wheel will have any friction against them they would both spin at the same time in gear as the dif would have no work to do? Some brave soul would have to hold on to a wheel to put presure on it ! Not the sort of thing I would do

Does seem strange tho only one wheel was the spinning and the other was doing nothing at all?

Oh, and by the way, if the VX Dealer you took it to in Colchester has the intials UW !! They have lost their VXR Warranty Franchise according to their service manager when I spoke to them a few months ago?? the nearest one now I believe is Browns of Loughton.

Most factory diffs are very tame for obvious safety reasons. Sounds quite normal to me.

You have a different car and a different diff.

I'll take that as a perfectly normal then.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest.
