Short story time..
Took the patrol about 2 hours away on the long weekend and did a bit of towing with it. Noticed this when i got to where i was going.. (ignore the old belts, got some newies there for it)

Looks like my brand new hub has done a shaft seal most likely, spitting viscous fluid everywhere. Bugger. I was expecting a battle to sort out replacement so I didn't even look more at it until I got home after the weekend. Checked the ebay listing when I got home "returns accepted, buyer pays return postage". Great, i might get a new one but it's still gunna cost me..
Sent the fella an email with the attached picture and I kid you not, within minutes I got an apologetic response telling me he would immediately send out a new one with a return bag for the old one.
4 days later, boom, new hub lands at the post office.
Yes a bit inconvenient, but sht happens sometimes. Customer service like he actually wants my business. Brilliant.
