    That gift hasn't quite finished.....

    I have a severe oil leak.. local garage says its a front crank seal....
    and yes, the firm that did the recon will repair it--

    but I have to get it to Melb.. then they remove the engine, transport it to Syd, fix it, transport it back the Melb, refit it and then I have to go get it..

    Its booked into Soverign Motors in Adelaide on the 7th..
    Pictures and the Bill will be forwarded on...

    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Who will be responsible if it leaks again? I guess that the seal wasn't properly fitted so should be easily replaced but hopefully Soverign's repair will be approved by the rebuilders who should then maintain their warranty on the rebuild.
