As I,ve said before, we waited 3 months on a clutch plate and 3 years later are still waiting on an accelorator cable (we got one made) I understand the ones sold now are ok for parts though, our,s are 2006/07 models.

yea but somone sold all these ssangyoungs and a ssangyoung dealer should at least have essentials like brake cilinders . if its not hollydays then i can get parts witin 3 weeks from europe. i also waited 16 days once for a nissan mistral diesel water-hose ex japan for 210$ with built in sensor. So no can do on repairing that Only cars i have so far had almost 0 problems for parts is toyota.

But they can order the part in no problem just a wait!This is a pretty standard thing and you must expect it with that particular brand.SSangyong are a well known brand but i mean how many years have they actually been trading in NZ for!
Pretty much most brands are probably going to have this issue for particular parts.A brake cylinder is not a common replacement item really they should last for a pretty long time so in my dealings with japanese cars id fully expect them to send this from japan.I cant see Ssangyong being any better than a japanese import tbh.

Sorry but this isn't news, having had the misfortune of having to service an Actyon diesel last year the agents could not even supply an engine oil filter for it off the shelf, and even if they could it was rudely (as in three figures) expensive. Naming no names but it was from a major NZ Ssangyong dealer.The same part from Mercedes Benz dealer was instantly available and cheaper. At least if you require a trans filter for one its the same BTR 4 speed trans as used in Falcons for the last 22 years which everyone who sells car parts should have. The situation was no different when those Mussos first started coming in many years ago.

The problem at least in part, is that Ssangyong had a break in supply a few years back when the original franchise holder went into liquidation (and I think also, receivership). There were a number of legal wrangles that occurred before a new distributor was established, effectively re-starting the brand here in NZ from afresh. Prior to this, the brand had not been well represented in NZ and there may well have been financial issues preventing the previous distributor from holding a large inventory of spare parts. Although the "new" distributor has re-started the brand with a lot more clout (sales figures are respectable, at the least) they also carry spares inventory for the FRESH inventory since re-starting. I know there were legal tussles over the ownership and rights to the remaining "previous" spares but I can't remember what the outcome was. Russell Burling was the man behind the previous distributorship, it's quite possible he retained the rights and access to those spares, rather than the "new" distributors. That's assuming they held much inventory anyway- with financial trouble, I'd suspect perhaps not.
