New wk2 laredo WHITE SMOKE THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONER!!!

[pmac]

Why be afraid of naming the dealer if what you are saying is factual? They can't do anything except possibly pick up their game.

And in response to fester, if that was me and the most convenient day to pick up the car was a Saturday, I'd be going there on the Saturday during their big sales day and making a large noise that would frighten off potential new clients about how they have your money but now don't want to help you once the deal is done.

I'd be letting them know that that is what I was planning to do as well.

Don't get me wrong, I can understand that they would prefer you to pick it up another day and if they asked nicely and give you the option, and say to you thanks for that, here's a nice bottle of red as a mark or our appreciation, but if you can only do it on that day, then they need to look after you. No excuse! What brand are we talking about out of interest?

I'm on the same page as you pmac. It's not like we are Brissie locals and can knock off an hour early and duck in. If I didn't need a day off from work I'd be making a bigger issue and have already pointed out that it is not good business practice in my eyes.

Not sure if I want to name the brand. Not from being scared about action from them but more so from the backlash from you guys...
We have traded the wifes car and bought a Mitsubishi Challenger to be our tow/touring vehicle as the wife will not set foot in the Grand again after this second break down. We want something with warranty and locally serviceable as our reliable camping/vanning vehicle. This is good and bad as now the Grand is solely my play vehicle and I can do exactly what I wnat without that annoying noise. Not that it stooped me before but all my mods seem to trigger an annoying squeek.

LOL, we know the noise is there, but how do you get rid of it without breaking anything. I'm still working on that one .

I've just worked it out. Cost me near on $50k but it works and should last several years before it needs doing again.

I got rid of that noise once. It cost me close on 3/4 of a million dollars, and now I'm driving a second hand Jeep (not complaining about the WH, but would love a WK2).

I think its cheaper to put some oil on the squeak than trying to go the whole hog and trying to get rid of it. Saying that I gather I haven't learnt my lesson after the cold shoulder from the new squeak on Valentines Day. When they say "I just want a card" don't believe them

Hah mine said lets not do anything this year to save the money for somethign else. Where do you go with that one. YOu know if you do something and they don't you'll be in the poop for making them look bad. If you do nothing you'll likely be in the poop for taking their word for it and not romantically overriding their decision. I dicided if I was to be in the poop either way then better to be in the poop but still cashed up so I did nothing. Better than be in the poop after shelling out some Jeep readies.

Its a JEEP! wk2 laredo.
Well its that old saying its "who you know" got in contact with a certain magazine editor,he in turn got in touch with someone in charge of corporate relations JEEP australia and low and behold we get a phone call.....Your car will be ready this afternoon(being wednesday ) They didnt even detail the interior just ran some crap through the air con and changed pollen filter.
So no bottles of red or even a cold coke!
That dealer will not ever see another cent of my money. Any mods will be through somewhere else,unfortunately it is putting a rather bad feel on the car to which i have not been able to enjoy so far....60g gets ya f... all these days especially no service.
