Any way hope it all works out in YOUR favor mate,
Cheers, Mario

Mario, as you well know, the car is there because I paid to have the transmission fixed, and it failed. At the same time, I asked that the exhaust stud issue be fixed. At this point, as I said in a post in response to Chris, I will be happy for this to be over. If the car comes back, driving,and not leaking, with the damaged door fixed, then I will write this off to experience. It would be great if some fairy came along and gave me some money for what I've lost, but I have two family members who work in the Department of Justice, one quite high up, and one in CAV, and both of them tell me to take what I can get and get out.

It's a nearly 20 year old car. Do I want to spend ANOTHER couple of years in court? Do you need to phone a friend? It's hopefully over.

Forum rules for what? Saying that toorak tractor has been sold to dave? Dave worked there about 10 years ago, has come back, bought the business and takes over very soon. So where is the name and shame in that??? I am confused.

pray tell

why do we have multiple people with no skin in the game throwing a tanty when the person with skin in the game is happy to see how it is handled ?

if you have an issue, use the report feature to have a say in how it's handled.

For a fact i have been there and dealt with it so i know the dealings here so you could say in your words Skin in the game .
Also in my eyes there was nothing to report so no issue that i saw needing intervention

David officially took over last week

Hi all,
Interesting reading here, as although new to these pages i have been using the premises in question almost since the begining...granted i took leave for about 5yrs when work took me to the ACT and China (strange bedfellows), but having gone back to having Dave look after a new / old Disco i picked up, i can tell you he has done a huge anount of work on site. Workshop all cleaned out, office gutted with new waiting room, and a massive focus on the customer. I know we would all agree it would be a tragedy to see someone trying to do the right thing, be tarnished by past activity...and god knows we need all the independent Landy Specialists we can get. I know Dave is eager to resolve past issues, and he is a genuinely good guy. My tuppence worth anyway!!
