It was on the news in WA a few days ago, and I think has been thrashed to death on various Facebook pages ever since. I have been busy and not had tome to follow Facebook. I can see no merit in the idea.

Makes me laugh really,
It was a registered A'van dealer in Seaford Vic that fitted one axle back to front during an under slinging process. The axle was off centre as well. 40 mm from one side of the van chassis and 10 mm from the other, it actually rubbed against the chassis.

The hand brake cable was laid over the spring hanger by mistake.

Dunno why the manager kept telling me to calm down. :) Yep folks it is all documented.

Oh year, its a problem with imports alright..... :)
I now have to note that I cannot accept owners ship, truth, quality, or veracity, of articles I may quote off the internet.
