Denis McMahon wrote: I suspect, having seen earlier reports relating to this story, that someone in china has used a cheaper alternative component to something specified in the steering system, or the manufacturer of a part has used a cheaper production method or material, and whichever it was, it's buggered the steering. Another load of hopeless british management discover the hard way that cost cutting without testing first is not a good long term solution. "a circlip, which holds hydraulic fluid pipes in place, had either fallen off or been damaged." "the company had recently contracted a new Chinese company to supply its steering box." I wouldn't want to be the one to try and recover compensation from a company in china, but surely in theory they have a case against the parts manufacturer? B2003 |
