[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7013157, member: 2119"] I don’t think things have got much worse but it would be nice if the manufacturers shared the pain of what are sometimes quite obviously design or manufacturing defects rather than normal wear and tear. I have replaced the pressure switch on my manitou transmission three times now except last time it failed I screwed a bung in instead. I’ll change the oil and filter religiously. Another thing that would be helpful would be techical bulletins from the manufacturer to the customer not just the main dealer. We could maybe then anticipate known issues or rectify then before they became a showstopper at a critical time. We found this useful when I worked on gas turbines. We kept the customer informed of known issues so he could replace dodgy items during the next service rather than have an unexpected failure at a critical time and and unscheduled outage. More openness and honesty would help rather than sweeping issues under the carpet charging us to put right their own mistakes. [/QUOTE]
