    not a good comment at all from the guys, they are a bit of a bitch to fit plugs to maybe they cracked a plug when changing your last set.

    basically you put a question on them and they could not answer that question.

    That's a great example of a reactionary attitude instead of the proactive diagnostic and preventative one customers expect.

    Some dealers have quite an apathetic attitude towards warranty stuff, because the more times you come back, the more they get paid. Eventhough Holden doesn't pay them a great deal for labour, a few dealers are only kept busy with the warranty work volumes.

    Yeah Dads V6 Supercharged also got a cracked Spark Plug yesterday... they repaired it ... I have not spoken to him as yet to see what transpired... He also said something about them replacing a spark lead... Basiclly the car under load misfired and spluttered and went nowhere...
