(1/2) > >>

Bunnie:
While looking for personal plates i came across this.

Recalls

it contails all possible recalls for every car.. have found some interesting landrover ones..

may want to check here if your having any problems with fuel tanks, parking transmission, sticky throttle.

Disco Matt:
I'm rather disturbed by "Involuntary operation of airbag" listed for Disco 1s :shock:

Bunnie:
i missed that one.... :S

some of the zuki ones are funny but scary

Disco Matt:
I can laugh at it as mine's pre-airbag - I suspect if an airbag deployed at speed the results would be far from funny...

I guess that depends on who and where you are...... there was one a technician who worked for a german prestige franchise that realised someone had disconnected the steering wheel airbag on the breakdown van and connected it to the rear wiper supply, thus, if the drive (a certain persons duty weekend) decided to wash the screen then it fired, I would add that the bag fitted was faulty and needed firing anyway.... sadly or lucikly (who ever you are) the tech decided to wash the screen whilst in the car park......

There is some scary stuff out there that happens to cars..... the other thing is Service Measures, stuff they don't tell you, thats done at a Main Stealer service, "Just In Case". There are loads of these on smarts, people may also remember the BMW 2.0l, 2.3l, 2.8l and 3.0l engine swaps of a few years back, people put their cars in for a service and got a new engine, BMW finally admitted that there was a problem but failed to tell people concerned because it wasn't a recall... just a service measure, but what happened to the cars that weren't being main stealer serviced...?
