Are you aware that you in the background page say that the incident happened on 10th of November and in the emails to Saab place the incident on 10th of December? From email to Saab at 7th of December: | You will know already that I have contacted the BBC and AutoExpress. | I will now publish full details on the World Wide Web, including | photographs of the structural failure. I have a domain name to hand, | and the site is under construction. For the avoidance of doubt, I enclose a | sample of the kind of material you may expect to see on the web site. Threats, blackmail? From email to Saab at 10th of December: | I will escalate the publicity action next week. The web site will be | finished and fully publicised on the world-wide-web. In addition, I | will be contacting the motoring correspondents of every National and | local newspaper with full details of the case, photographs, and the | address of the web-site. | It occurs to me it would be much easier if you were to simply give me | my rights as a consumer. More threats. From email to Saab at 13th of December: | If you do neither, then I may be forced to publish on the web-site | the fact that I have asked you for and been refused access to the | Director's name and email address. More threats again. Is this the way to make friends? I am simple amazed over the following email fragment that you sent to Saab on 13th of December: | If you look at the picture second from the left (large format), you | will see at the right hand side, behind the rear wheel, that there | is a tyre track which has been punched through the pebbles covering | the drive, down into the soil below. That track is 2 to 3 inches deep. | That happened when the back of the car, weighing between a quarter | and half a ton, collapsed onto the tyre/wheel. Are you saying that just because the suspension failed that the weight on the wheel suddenly increased so much so that the wheel "punched through the pebbles" to a depth of "2 to 3 inches"? | Now, the damage to the tyre wall is co-incident with the mud, that | part of the tyre which was forced through the pebbles, suddenly | and with a lot of force. The bulge on the tyre appears to be a similar | size to the pebbles covering the driveway. It seems to me that | the tyre, deformed grossly from its usual shape, and being plunged | through a few inches of pebbles, was somehow checked against the rim | of the wheel, and perhaps one of the little stones. You must be pulling our legs -- the tyre "deformed grossly" and "plunged through a few inches of pebbles" by some magical force? The weight of the car (as seen by the tires) did not change so dramatically just because the suspension broke. I think you, or someone else, spun the car and the left rear wheel hit the curb at a speed high enough to twist, bend and crack the trailing link. Picture 7 (bending), 9 (twisting), and 11 (thread marks) in the test report speak for themselves. -- Göran Larsson hoh AT approve DOT se I was an atheist, http://home DOT swipnet DOT se/hoh/ until I found out I was God.
