Threaten them with Consumer affairs & Today Tonight and all that stuff if they dont want to know. I find it hard to believe that a gearbox isnt covered by warranty even if it is a commercial. I think they are doing a snow job on you.

I hate people that dont respect me enogh to tell me the truth. (my work) I am sickm of bieng lied to, people even lying under oath in Court! I said to a Magistrate the other day that my jobv is destroying my faith in humanity. She told me that it will get better, this always happens when there is a change in staff & that she sees it all the time. Itsd sucks when your trust starts to dissapear though.
