Thread: A customer says his new Vacuum pump is operating whilst his TDi is idling!

Re Vacuum Pump

No wonder people don't trust part dealers

Apologize and tell him you will send a proper one on receipt of the one which will wear out quickly.

Then (on receipt) send him something that doesn't go over 1" until at least 3000 rpm

If he complains " just helping to build the withered muscule in yourleg"

Re "No, he still wants a price and asked if we sold modded front window regulators?"

Maybe able to help here as we play around with 3D printing, The proper fix is getting rid of the cost saving factory cut down of the rear door height below the glass. For a mere $2000 (trade) we can supply a mod to ensure the glass will go down only to the top of the raised door

But what about the hole left in the window after it is cut around the door body, it'll let rain and dust in.

Genuine 300TDi rear Crank seals are made in India, in genuine land rover packaging, and more and more parts are being made in india, brake pads, rotors are being made in China and finished off here in Australia, the Japs are getting their electronics, tvs and stuff although branded in Japan there are made in China. Aussie made stuff is assembled here from foreign components. You just have no control as labour in countries is too expensive so all these big companies are getting stuff made in developing countries.
Genuine Land Rover hoses are made in malaysia ( Asia), had a complaint from a customer that they don't like stuff made there.
Now since Indian Tata owns jag and Land Rover, I wonder if the anal customers are still going to buy a new land rover?
you cant win.

Customers will find that most things made from rubber are from Asia, especially Malaysia - one of the main sources for rubber.

Yes Tom I know that and you know that as most of the rubber plantations are in those tropical places so factories are placed near the source of the raw materials, make economic sense. I had a customer complain that buying from various regions could be indirectly support the Taliban
