Here they go again...

I just recieved three rebuilt boosters from Hydroboost to put on the 6x6 FC. They came back looking like new.

Indeed they can and the Club has the tools to do so however the UK has (and enforces) rules about product liability meaning that if the club supplied rebuilt safety critical items and one failed our insurance cover would be invalid and the club would be bankrupted.

it is therefore much safer for the club not to supply them. bearing in mind that the club operates as a formal company whose own rules forbid it to jeopardise the members as they would be liable if it was bankrupted.

If Australian rules (or attitudes) are more lax then so be it, as you know from the other thread individuals (or their companies) within the UK may offer rebuilds themselves, but that is their own commercial decision and it is up to them to check if their insurance cover would be valid. I can say with certainty that the club's is not and there is no commercial sanity for the Club in rectifying that position

We are not talking about backyard operators here - we are talking major brake companies who are able to rebuild these things - the 101 club modifies other gear to fit (doesn't it sell modified series 3 units - I don't really know as I no longer have anything to do with the 101 Club) - might be legal over there but would be considered questionable here.

The point of the post was based on comments here, that people on the 101 club forum were claiming these 101 components were not rebuildable and 101 club supplied components had to be used when clearly they are rebuildable - in Aust the practices of the 101 club could be considered anti competitive and investigated by the ACCC.

Thank you for clarifying the legal position in the UK - in Australia the onus of responsibility for failed components, usually remains on the manufacturer not the end-user, or in this case a car-club.

However, I think what most people here couldn't understand, was the comment by a forum member that the booster cannot be repaired, when they quite obviously can be.

Anyway; it is a good reminder to us all, that quality repairs and parts for a safety-system are a must, and dodgy repairs or parts, can put ours and others lives at risk,
