One step forward .....

So remember the saildrive leg?

Saildrive

  It was sent off for painting under advice from my friendly engineers to be two pack painted It came back looking beautiful aesthetically, unfortunately when the engineer tried to turn the gear chain, he discovered that it was full of grit and blasting crud! So now I have to negotiate with the painer and get the gear train rebuilt with tools only available to a main dealer at main dealer prices. And another two week delay at least  Star Wars Day May 4th After chasing the main dealer  following many left messages and phone calls asking for a progress report I am told by them that "the special tool"  they use has broken and that there are no "chosen ones" around so they have to get volvo to get someone to make them another which could take a while! I was wrong it's three or four steps back Watch this space
