Thread: .50 Cal machine gun

I had my clutch replaced under warranty also, but it wasn't a shudder problem, rather slight gear grating. In relation to "dealer says it's normal", I wouldn't take that as gospel by any means.

"Normal" might mean another one in the workshop does it too, so it's all right, or it could be a regular fault. Or it might mean a defect that they haven't got an upgraded part or kit for yet.

I'm afraid our Brisbane dealer has said a lot of things are normal, but persevere with the complaint and they eventually fix it up, or at least some of the time, eg

Front doors weren't staying open...normal! Next warranty visit & complaint they adjust it properly. Likewise the front springs. Same as one in the workshop, so "normal". I reckon they sag ex-factory, because the top 3 loops of the variable rate coils sit on top of each other. I had them replaced, supposedly with 130 fronts (but they were still variable, so they were 110's).
A little better for a while but I ended up buying 130 springs anyway, and fitting myself...no point pursuing the warranty side any more on that issue.
