Amazing technology, phones. You talk to a voice and they say its all good to return the starter motor. Onya, Patrolapart.

Finding out after an engine inspection, that not only are both head gaskets farked, also the pistons have corrosion and the bore hones are corroded and almost wiped. Looks like a 20 thou over rebuild is now an the cards.

Now I inherited this build (so paid good money for the car in October 20), and continued evolving the truck. At the time of purchase there was absolutely no indication of any engine issues present, the service history looked great. and the engine only had 15000 kms on it, with 31 months warranty still left on it. Previous owner swore never had any issues with it.

Anyhow, turns out he was full of shit, and still is denying any issues with the engine. Sure, I made a claim under warranty to Brunswick, who sent me to Blackheath auto for the head gasket repair, and during the inspection after they pulled the donk, they found the above. They notified Brunswick and sure enough Greg goes hunting for service history. Now would you all believe what he comes up with.

See pdf invoice dated a month before I bought the car, and ironically the service log from the 1000, 5000, and 10000 km services are completed in the log, so I was about to do the 15000 when the over pressure issue started.

Evidently that was done when needed in Sept 20, when the issue was first discovered, but the car service center did not fill out the maintenance log this time (so more deception there), and they added an additive sealant to mask the issue, so the problem could be then on sold to some poor sucker..in this case me.

So now instead of a few grand repair Brunswick indicated they would honor, we are now looking at a full rebuild due to the vehicle being driven for another 1000 odd kms, and now who covers what costs is certainly unclear.

I will find out more after the Easter break but for now I am just shitted off to the maximum. Why the silly Can't did not just do a warranty claim earlier has me well fucked....and he still denies any issues with the car, despite me knowing otherwise.

The trouble is I have spent so much more on it, I am sort of committed to getting it fixed, rather than just walking away and copping a huge loss.

I guess the moral is don't trust anyone now these days...and this certainly is a great example of pissed off.

This has turned to POO very quickly. I suspect the best BD might offer is a 50/50 split over and above the head gasket replacement that they have stumped up on, just a guess. I am very sorry to hear of your problems, and hope it heads in the right direction soon.

Yep, at least that would be some consolation as something is better than nothing mate. An expensive lesson learnt.

I gotta get me one of them for the display mate. Add it to my Coon cheese, Redskins and Chickos packs on display high up in the kitchen. What was never racist but now cancelled I have on display to remind me we were not always so hysterical.

This is my kitchen trophy wall. What else can I add to remember the good ole days when we didn't cancel everything that could possibly hurt my delicate little feelings that my helicopter parents never let me develop?
