I talked to Nathan the owner of Platinum. I told him how I felt and why I did things the way I did them. There was an immediate "I'm sorry, but, it wasn't me" excuse right off the bat. That really rubbed me the wrong way. Regardless if he was personally responsible or not, it's still 100% his fault because it's his establishment. He also said some people started to call Platinum in response to this matter. Regardless, of their intentions with the phone calls, I can only thank you enough. I'm blown away of how far this spread in the community and am happy to be a part of such a tight knit community like this one! Thanks guys!

Nonetheless, after he went on about how dangerous the ABS system can be, and told me he had been on these forums for "25 years"(because the internet totally existed in 1990...smh), he expressed how much he wished I had just called and worked it out with them instead of doing this. If I owned a business and knew someone got screwed by it, I'd feel the same way. If the story is true about the mechanic screwing shit up, I hope this post reaches those that might have had some work done in the past by them. I'd give that a run over again if I were you.
He did however offer to fix whatever was wrong with the braking system and I could bring it back next week. There still was no answer to why the Disco sat at their shop for 2 weeks waiting on a part that was never installed. That poor ABS sensor, it may have never made it to a Disco, if it existed at all in the first place.
If I do end up taking it back, I'll have to be shown all work that is done because trust is 100% lost at this point until proven otherwise.

I take that back, its the commissioner of agriculture that is in jail. The secretary of state is woman who pissed of Mitch McConnell by saying mean things and trying to take his job. He next elected position will probably be dog catcher somewhere.

Our last Secretary of State is or was in jail for selling CDL's to truckers who couldn't pass the test. I think we need to start building a governors wing on the state penitentiary. All of them have been getting locked up.

Isn't the "Nathan" that you are referring to Nathan Crabtree from the old discount rover days? I am really surprised by this as I started dealing with him in 98 when I got my first D1. Now I have not talked to him in several years but this does surprise me after my previous dealings with him.
EDIT: Let me add this about Nathan. I was chasing down a fuel pump issue in 02 on my old D1. Nathan stayed on the phone with me for over an hour tracing the problem. We finally decided to just swap the pump. He did not have one in stock but called Motor Cars LTD and had them deliver one to Austin the next day on one of their parts run to the old shop there.

I've bought parts from Nathan. Always found him to be extremely helpful and courteous. Don't put a bullet in his head, put it in the other guy's.

Nathan always was a great guy to deal with and always went above and beyond for me. Trust that he will fix this issue because I'm certain he will make it good.
