SO I drove to Melbourne from Adelaide (see other topic).
And on the way back near Tailem bend i accelerated lightly (it really was lightly) from 80 aiming for 110 wen i got to about 90 the trans went to change gear (i think) revved to about 5000and then BOOM, Pulled over and looked under the car and the underside between the rear wheels everything was coated in oil and there was oil dripping (rather fast) onto the ground. so i came to the conclusion that my diff bush exploded. I limped it back home South Adelaide. Im at the end of my teather with this car. ive had the car for less than 2 months and since then: Engine rattle turned out to be pinging still not fixed clunky driveline diffbush replaced drivers window makes huge amounts of noise cant hold a wheels balence for 1000km handbrake needs constant readjusting and makes lots of noise power steering grind and i lose loads of fluid. now i love this car dont be confused by that but im at the end of my teather it hasnt cost me alot yet however what happens post warranty????? Now i plan on ringing consumer affairs tomorrow to see where i stand Now I'd like this to go 3 ways: 1. full refund (unlikely) and they can have my pride and joy 2. huge rebate, I keep my car 3. Car swap they give me an aussie V8 they keep my XR8 (xr8, SS, Monaro, HSV, FPV Whatever) Now what do you guys think i should do and where do i stand with the dealer???
