Ripped off?

Ranga NO, not yet.

ADRAD, the previous radiator supplier, have confirmed in writing, there was "NO REASON TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR".

I am still waiting on written confirmation from TCT to argue poor fitting was the problem with the torque converter, then I expect "THEM" to pay for refitting the TC.

A letter of support is coming re the head and/or gasket not showing any obvious fault, Mt Barker Engine Repairs guy said, "Yes, it's been leaking there, there and there at least".

Consumer affairs are aware of the situation and when I have my evidence if the company doesn't come to the party they will step in.

Regards

Mike

A new radiator, not a Chinese copy, RRP $350, sold to me $320. Description of radiator - RADIATOR,TD5, DISCO, NISSEN brand. Made in Europe, purchased from MR Auto. Bob

Well, after all this time and now having gone to court I have been awarded what I was asking for in the first place, justice.;)

Thanks to those who supported me, those with advice along with those with good wishes.:D

Just goes to prove, if you think you have been ripped off, collect your evidence and push it all the way.:cool:

The Office of Consumer and Business Affairs here in SA was no use, they just accepted the company's word and dismissed me.:mad:

Now I get to have my special TC from Torque Converter Technologies fitted properly at their cost, beauty.:)

Cheers guys

"Hope I haven't said anything wrong this time Mr moderator sir.":angel:

Mike

congrats:)
too bad it too you 1 year and 7 months to get the result, but justice in the end.

Despite a Magistrates ruling, a Registrars ruling to pay by 12th Dec or lodge an appeal against the decision nothing happened.:(

After the time allowed 'THEY' got a lawyer involved to have the decision overturned.:censored:

Now waiting to see what happens??????????????????????????:angel:

I'm keeping my chin up though, too hard for others to hit it if it's down!:D

Unbelievable.

Stick with it
Cheers,

The courts have found in your favour keep going best of luck and if and when you succeed again I'd be asking for my court costs to be paid by them

**** them over with a clenched fist, I have a bone to pick with that rat bastard too. Scum of the industry.

Despite doing everything correctly and THEM doing everything wrong today a lawyer triumphed (as they frequently do) over justice.:censored:

At today's hearing in the Magistrates Court, the original decision was 'set aside', that means I have to start from the beginning all over again!!!!!!!!!!!:censored:

Now, if you want to get a feel for how I'm reacting just look at the little pictures at the end of each paragraph.:censored::censored:

Spoke to someone who knows a bit about law etc, he suggested THEY 'may' have been to court enough times to know how to play the law.:wasntme:

Certainly seems like that to me.:censored:

Reason for the decision being 'set aside', they simply forgot to (get this) 'diarise' the date. Didn't matter that I had actually reminded them via email, and that it was three separate dates/actions they had failed to comply with.:censored:

I'd better shut up or I'll be :censored:
