Hopefully just a $2 seal Wal, Although i do see where they are coming from in regards of length of time having the item, it always sucks to get fobbed off.
If it was me you were phoning (not there anymore) I would have got it checked out / fixed by the pro's and then do some kinda deal over costs (if any). Its the "keep everyone happy service".

Cylinders are a real pain from new because most people (not all, but i used to do it) pull a new item out and pump it a few times dry and say to themselves "yip thats a good one, not siezed" lol, and it tears the seals to bits. Almost guarantee - fit new seals, job done.

So I will strip it down and try to determine where the problem lies.
What a load of crap BNT on the receipt BNTs problem don't let them get away with that SHIT.

Yea, absolutely.
Imagine buying a TV which turns out to be faulty.
Then the retail seller say, no sorry. Take it up with Samgsung. ( or whoever )

Usually you would turn the TV on in the first 12 months of owning it though? And they would usually repair or replace.

Its a hard one because i know for a fact ive got brand new items that are at least 2years old (waterpumps etc) that i havent used or even opened yet and you would have the same problem i think if trying to get a warranty job out if it upon first fitment.

I definitely fit into the category of the person who pumps it dry a couple of times , it,s weird though because it was bled up and peddle was pumped plenty of times over the 12 months it has been installed, only leaked after driving it.
