Not had this problem. My first reaction to the pics is that it looks like someone has tried to wrench the handle up......some kind of botched theft attempt? Just a thought.... John

Richard, I wonder if it has anything to do with the temperature over there making the plastic brittle? |

This should be covered under warranty; there appears to be no visible evidence of oustside force. You could of course arrange another visit to Halewood and shove a new chrome 'arse end' down your trousers. If caught, you could say it's a moment of excitement caused by the lovely Danielle Beats the 'is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me'. Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice. |

[quote="Pegleg"]
indeed, historically speaking shoving objects down ya trouser leg has been a very effective means of conveyance as professional shop lifters can concur. Another example is in the Napoleonic Wars feeding the French forces on their long marches across eastern Europe proved logistically to be very difficult and seriously impacted on their fighting ability. The Emperor himself demanded a solution and it is rumoured (although I doubt it) that he himself created the baguette which, so Napoleon is reputed to have said "has been created so that it can be transported by the soldiers themselves down their trouser leg", and eaten, "on the march." However the name actually derives from the Italian word "bacchetta" - little stick - whose origin is from the Latin "baculum" - meaning walking stick. I doubt if a knackered FL2 tailgate handle would make much of a walking aid. |
