Takes them a while to finally do something ....like years !!

[BaseCamp]

wow... I'm genuinely a bit shocked over this..

Looks like I have been conned after all...

I have a 6 pad Couplertec unit.     I wonder what they are going to do now??

And its interesting how the car dealerships have to give out the refunds now; ... because I guess quite rightly the govt is saying that the dealerships etc "should have known better..."??

But what about the other snake oil promoters and sprukers #think 4wd Action etc#; why are they not made to cough hurt money as well??? 







O' NO !!!!

I just Googled couplertec to put a link up - and got this....

About bloody time.  I have always known it was a load of $hite. The only thing they do is does it flatten your battery and lighten your wallet. I am not smart enough to debate the chemistry but I have read quite a few things from people that are experts in the field that have stated it is a load of who shot John.  I know Symon has always discredited these companies.

I hope there's a class action lawsuit, might be able to get a refund

Well its 2015 and I'm really not surprised! We are being conned all the time these days!

Having said that....................

The good old days of making, building something to lasts is gone.............there's no profit in it!

I remember back in the early 80's, my Adidas 3 stripe lasted me 3 years! and thats after heavy abuse from wearing them day in, day out, kicking the footy around for a few hour s a day, running around and then growing out of them. They stopped making them.

My 1991 80 series has a sticker on it, its documented that it has been ERP. I live within a huge stone throw of the sea and the 80 is parked outside of a night time all the time. The gutters on my home are rusted to the point that they need replacing, my 10 year old pergola is made from steel which is powder coated and its rusted.

Yet my 1991 80 Series which has a sticker to prove it has been ERP, still has no rust!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mind boggling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't make them like they used too!

Maybe those of us who warned that electronic rust protection was a scam, will now get an apology from those who argued its merits.  I won't hold me breath

Conditioned to be a throw away society for the sake of profits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[briann532]

Aren't we all guilty of consumerism?

I just think its poor form of companies like those who make these items to willing rip people off.

Whatever happened to dignity?

Ah well at least my hi-clone is still saving me heaps of fuel. I can use it to pay for all these rip offs.............

[Rodt]

Not a total refund of all units sold only those between 01/01/2011 - 31/12/2013. Wonder if that is meant to mean the ones outside of that time period work?

The Commissioner has accepted an undertaking from HPC and MotorOne
under which HPC and MotorOne will cease advertising and supplying the
CECI Units in Australia. Additionally, HPC and MotorOne are offering
consumers who have purchased a CECI Unit between 1 January 2011
and 31 December 2013 a refund of the purchase and installation costs.

Will be watching closely as i am one of the ones who have been conned

All I can say is -

I TOLD YOU SO

That is all.

[gronk]

If people want to believe stuff, then no amount of "advice" from others will make a difference..

Sometimes they have to learn the hard way !!

Really, when you go near a salesperson, as soon as their lips move you know it's gonna be sh*t that comes out !!

Hey Bud...  I can't quite make out what ya saying -- can ya be a bit less subtle about it please...

One was fitted to my defender when I brought it......it had plenty of rust in it when it was retired at the beginning of the year.....

OMG..............next thing you're going to tell me is that speewa's PDFP's aren't real

OMG..............next thing you're going to tell me is that speewa's PDFP's aren't real

The PDFP is at best  "Perceived to be Real " & that's all you need to know  . lts the perception  you pay for in the end . As a side line the PDFP can be used as a pot hole if you need to jack up you rig to change a tyre . Just drive up to the edge & the jobs done . lts not Snake Oil Sales  you know .
l reckon somebody is chucking Mud to try to get out of the payments  , outstanding

Yep, and there's no way the Bumble Bee should fly, according to current (pun) knowledge of aerodynamics.
Wow. All the people sucked in by Kangaroo Whistles, aerodynamic roof racks, what your 4wd can really do, tyres, chips, bling, innumerable "Fad" diets, energy drinks, reality shows, religion, ad infinitum.
So what's the big deal with this?

And here I am believing that the hair re growth stuff I have been buying for my bald spots really worked. I am pretty sure I have had 3 new hairs grow and it's hard when I need to part them.

What about that other cream you were using??  You know the one that guarantees 4" in 4 weeks?  How'd that go?
