Hi All,

On Weds my Paj (as seen below) is going in for this bloomin recall of a pitman arm. Is there anything I should know about before I go? I hear that sometimes the sterring wheel is not right (straight) when they've done with the car.....!!!

how long am I expecting to wait for the car?
I will be going to Mitsubishi in Hemel Hempstead
Any tips would be great.

45 Mins Max.........bet they wash it andhoover it ..ask them to put the wheel straight before its done .and they probably will. Wink

.................the other thing is it will take Mitsi Japan about 6 months to pay the dealership Shocked

If it take japan 6 months... HA! It's free for me, So it's their problem., But I have to say, their customer service is BRILLIANT... They seemed to do all the chasing up for me! Very polite too.!

Did you speak direct to the dealer about this. Mine needs doing and is included in the recall, but was told the nearest dealer to me was in London.

The steering wheel straight or not issue is down to the fitter at the end of the day, can he be asked or not, *beep* really ... its just a matter of clocking whats what and making marks ... I still reckon some do it to get peoples goat Laughing

I would

both our swb's were done and we made a point of saying remember the steering wheel needs to be on straight Laughing

and the were both straight when they came back Laughing

It really is so easy to get it right Keith, i would say its probably easier to get it right than get it wrong ... if that makes sense Laughing

i think it depends on how hard getting the old one off is its a time factor , as they don't make a profit on it , too long on removal then quick put back on and hope for the best Laughing

deanno, Yes mate, they called me (Hemel Branch) very good they were too. Best thing is to call em direct. They even started to send me TXT's to make sure that I did not forget...

Nick, I tent to TRY can keep my car clean as best I can, but If I forget to empty the ashtray.....!!!!!

I have to say, and I'm sure all will agree, "so far" the paj's are great cars and Mitsubishi as a company well, they seem to be great... Even for imports! What more do you want?.... (Apart from actual weight figures!!!)
