    Probably should have been picked up though, hopefully this happened on Saturday and next week means Monday, otherwise for a new car this is disgraceful.

    It's a conspiracy I tell's ya. Reynard is paying off the dealers now.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Have been told its not a warranty issue......Have ordered the new Part $110, LR Australia say it must have been stood on or something dropped on it. I cant be shagged argueing, and anyway they'd want to tow the car away. My friend is a mechanic and he can fix it in two minutes, so I'll just pay to get it fixed.

    That is absolutely out and out bulls**t
    So the stealer denies responsibility I assume ??

    I can't for the life of me see why you should have to fork out your hard earned for something after 4 kilometres..

    So who organised the tray ... the stealer pre-delivery? In which case it's between them to sort out who picks up the tab.

    Rosco,

    I organized the Tray Post delivery...............so really I have to cop it in this instance. Youd reckon they could send the part out in good faith but hey thems the breaks.

    Did I mention I love my 130

    Well .... that let's the stealer off the hook. BUT .......... I reckon you should take the matter up with the tray mob.

    Rosco your right I should take it up withthe Tray Builder...................if you met the people that built my Tray then you'd understand it would be more of a headache than the $110 in this instance.............let me say customer service is not one of there strong points.

    They build a great tray but they would claim they never did it and I have no proof they did, but I am CERTAIN they would have busted it by accident and not noticed it. Probably put a Hair line fracture in it and once fuel started pumping through it let go..............

    Funny how nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions now-a-day, you'd think the stealer would grab the opportunity as a show of good faith and LR PR.
