Nev'd noe im.den mybe back wen E had is ole MK1 cordy-LOL Buti'm sorta goin back a few damn years since i was in vegas 4 sure-L O L But yeah ya not getting patronised or fed B.S atm Howeveri m ho Compensation is due to you Tis just a process. Interesting point as to what is formaly acceptable to a judge and complies with court rulings re Print Screen So where does this *Legal Knowledge* come from! Is it a field you perchance work in!

No I work in equine world -legal knowledge comes from having no choice and refusing to be screwed over by the government Had a baby - prem - brain injured in hospital - by staff - there were 13 - 5 died 8 survived - youngest is my child. Big hosp in Aucks poured out the B/S as did ACC - lets just say an accident happens once maybe twice but not 6 times a day for 32 days in a row. consequence of action was not accepted and the proverbial under rug happened. Legal fees went through roof so sat down and did it myself - full govt inquiry - still B/S and ar$e covering (its still not over yet but the gagging orders shut me up - to a degree) but learnt process and what is and is not legal. A print screen is as good as a photo as can't be changed without say photo shopping, where as a copy n paste can be If you don't follow process as in the fine print stuff - you leave doors open for weasling out My spelling and grammar maybe poor on here - lazy typing - when working its as sharp as the day is long

Yup very long story snoopy - hence life getting complicated at times Its on going and one battle that is fought daily. Nothing scares me as such (phone calls, getting in peoples faces etc) as long as I have my facts straight. Then I am armed and can and will fight. Guess this wee mushroom outgrew the B/S pot.

Lol snoopy - point taken - yeah think outside that square it can be done Those of us that have lived have stories that most don't comprehend - there are those that live in the soap opera drama world of B/S and those of us that live the road of life no matter what it throws at us. Time for bed now

lol guys :) I gave your ref as above snoopy - but he knows of two with the same name from same area hence question :) It really was nice to talk to a gentleman. He rang me back as not in for first call -He had read my email and already set wheels in motion for the next steps before he rang me with his suggestions. He talked to me for quite a while in a language that was honest and understanding whilst kind but not sappy. So yes a good day - oh fixed the muffler and flasher unit so tomorrow back for COF and then to see what Truck Shop has to say - they can take pictures and change that bolt
jmma,
Nov 12, 2:28am
That's good, are you going to get them to take pictures behind the fork boot!
tiggles2,
Nov 12, 2:47am
That's the idea jmma - pictures and a report. If they need to drop the box and redo the clutch - so be it (and yes I will keep all the parts) even if the gear box needs work - so be it. Learnt today how to swap from the indicators and override using the hazards. (yes have replaced the flasher unit) and for once did not get zapped :)

Hello :) Bearing and letter away to spec Truck still at Truck Shop - pick tomorrow morning - will update then Letter to P&S cced to MTA under construction - waiting for info from spec and truck Shop Sorry not much more to report - and I know its frustrating - its driving me nuts

Guys If I was designing that slave cylinder system I would have the slave cylinder pressing against the housing and located by the 2 bolts and nuts, not on the back side of the housing with every bit of effort on the bolts and nuts only. If it was fitted my way the push rod would be more like the correct length with some threaded rod through the clutch fork.

LOL, I bet. Hope it all turns out for the best and you're seen right.

Morning all Will be away for the next few days - so limit net access Truck driving ok - could not really see any damage inside HOWEVER the clutch is ok - nothing wrong with master, slave etc. correct spring lol put onto fork. Theory re bearing - maybe a cheap imitation - thye are not quite the same size and IF allowance for movement not correct can and will tip and seize. ALSO - the gear box IT IS STILL MUNTED they think a bearing is going as the gears are not smooth and she sort of feels like she is jumping out of gear between 4th and 5th but does not - they have drove her So wait now for sec report and then strip her down Your thoughts on replica parts TIA - have a great week everyone :)

Even a cheap part should last longer than it did. I still say it was on backwards. did you look at those pictures I put up of Isuzu bearings already fitted to their carriers. the raised side of the bearing faces the pressure plate. I also quoted from a clutch manufacturer that warns that if the pressure plate fingers are flat, you have to use a rounded bearing face, and if the pressure plate fingers are rounded, you have to use a flat faced bearing.
Either way though, whether it's a cheap part, or incorrectly fitted, since there is nothing about your truck that could have caused the problem, the company should have done the second repair as a warranty.
