It's not that I'm in a rush, but the fact that it doesn't automaticlaly connect to the same media device that was used when the car turns off is quite annoying.. It's not normal for other cars - our Mazda 3 will automatically resume back to bluetooth. Also the fact that the phone displays as...

I'm just wondering if it's a common issue for Bluetooth to take a while to register as connected in the car? On my phone it shows up as connected near immediately when the car is turned on, but I have to wait a good 30 seconds (sometimes longer) to be able to select Media to play audio from the...

Oh brilliant! Thanks for the link

How worried should I be about water ingress due to this rubber seal degrading so much? What about the windshield itself coming loose? :oops: What can I do to fix/get a replacement? Is this a job for a glass repair company, or would someone else be better suited? Any idea if it will cost an arm...

Couldn't agree more. As I said, I've been nothing but polite the entire time, and yes in my email to him after getting home I thanked him for getting the car fixed so quickly

Latest update. I've got the car back now, with my new used transmission (although the dealer kept referring to it as a gearbox, and when I asked if he meant transmission, he said "yeah whatever you want to call it"). Anyway, he also fixed the seat belt after I mentioned the specific laws around...

I'll most certainly be enquiring about the type of warranty I have on the repairs. Is there anything outlined in the law? I couldn't see anything obvious in the sections that I was looking at, but I wasn't exactly looking for "extra warranty on warranty repairs". It's only a small car yard, one...

Thanks Harry, that's encouraging.. I've just rung the dealer and found out that I am getting a used transmission swapped in, roughly around 100k km's on it. He wasn't happy that I rang, and even less so when I told him that I've been doing some reading (referring to reading up on my rights as...

Thanks for the information everyone, and the specifics of the law from Skylarking. At least now I know who to speak to in case things go sideways. I've definitely lost trust in the dealer, even though he was "honest" and let me know that he could have taken the cheap way out. I'm almost...

Finally got the reason for the issue from the dealer, needs a new gearbox. When he rang me to tell me, he said that he could get it "fixed" for around $400-500, but it would need to be fixed again in a couple of months (when the car is out of warranty). In order to properly fix it, it's around...

Thanks for the replies and the encouragement to get in touch with the dealer. I have done so now both by calling and email, just have to organise a time that suits both of us to get the car looked at. Will keep everyone posted

The listing for the car said it's a 6 speed sports automatic

Hi all, Been away from the forums for a while, but can finally come back now that I've got a Commodore again . I recently purchased a 2010 Wagon from a dealer, and it's been driving fine, however on the weekend was the first time I took it on the expressway. Cruising along at 100km/h, revs...

Of course I can check the manufacturers website -_-.. Don't know why I didn't think of that! Turns out it'll cost $375 RRP, far out..

Oh I didn't plan on making my own brackets.. I just don't know what brackets/roof racks combination I would need.. I could probably go into supercheap auto and ask them, but then I'm going to feel like I have to buy them
