Saffa_G Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 update: Took my not even 2 month old Nuvi 710 to Avnic trading in northriding yesterday. They did some tests on it and informed me that the Unit had failed: Touch Screen Test Speaker test Satellite Reception test wow, and i never abused the unit .... sad to think that a unit makes it out of the factory with so many faults. I also played with the idea that the Cape Union Mart guy at Woodlands Boulevard possibly sold me a demo unit .... since he had "opened" the box in the back because he was changing the SD for me ... Anyways, Avnic have promised to deliver my new replacement unit to the office in 3-4 working days. i hope they can do it, because another lady there complained that it took them over 13 Days to deliver .... well lets see ..
The Saint Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Well Pocket Bikes is not 2 days away from loosing his nuts......still not heard a thing from them since forwarding my contact details....must be too busy with all the repairs to give me an update.

NotSoBigBen Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I don't plan anymore kids' date=' not after my two brats. I also plan on keeping my nuts so.... JAAASSSSOOOONNNN, HELP !!! [/quote'] Anyway, my father told me the children should never outnumber the parents - it's not fair! He did have 4 boys though
The Saint Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 Yup I mailed him...got a mail back requesting my number....sent him that and not heard a thing
sebunya Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Yup I always make sure it is tighly sealed. I found thta if I rode in heavy rain the unit would still work fine for a few days then it would start to fog up inside with condensation. Within a few weeks after that it would become erratic and not respond to buttons etc. Both units had pretty much the same symptoms. One benefit of the Garmin swap out is that they send a complete box with all HR straps and sensors etc. so I now have several spares. lucky I have ordered *2 month ago* a chest strp + transmiter *i have the copy of the order * although since then no reply from the Official retailer who represents Garmin in the Nelspruit area ..... so i have a Garmin 305 speed+cadence but unfortunately my HR not working, well has already being used for 3 years
The Saint Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Pocketbikes....best you call your mate Jason as you have about 6 hours left before you are castrated.
Pocketbikes Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 To be honest, I was tempted to do just that, but I am not going to. They have got to show their service... ya right.... what's their number again...
The Saint Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/vol84/issue12/images/small/eg1296206002.gifJust some of the tools used in the castration operation
Pocketbikes Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Bye bye nuts... Jason is not in today. , and I have never met Jason I also got confused as I always see Nathan, not Jason. I asked Nathan to post here and I think he told Jason to do it as he is one of the big boys there. To be fair:You handed it in to a dealer and not Garmin (Avnic)The dealer might still have it and Jason is waiting for it, b4 he calls you.The workshop might get it and do what they have to, without Jason even knowing it came in.I might give you one nut, as I was talking from experience (with regards to service), but I have also gone directly to them and never through a dealer. So give me the benefit here....PLEASE Pocketbikes2008-07-11 03:42:20
The Saint Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 You can't offer your nuts and then set the terms and conditions once they are due to disappear. I am busy sharpening tool "a" as above. I am not sure what "b" and "c" are used for but I am sure I will figure it out once I have completed my task with said tool "a"
Saffa_G Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 i hope i get my New Nuvi 710 on Monday and that it works .... then i will be happy, because for my R4499 i don't think that a new unit shoudl ahve been as faulty as mine was :( lets you hubsters know the outcome
slowpoke Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 muxie, now i'm worried - you seem to be looking forwards to playing with pb's nuts!!!!!!
The Saint Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 Well can I hire you to perform the op then?
