My Service

[jsj24uk]

Evening all.

I'd love to tell you how my service went today as it was booked in at Lexus Woodford for a major service but I had a slight problem.

THE B****Y STUPID S****Y C****Y USELESS ELECTRONIC GARAGE DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE WITHIN THE MANUFACTURER'S PARAMETRES (IT'S B*****D). Mended now though by a nice man in a van.

I must say though that they were very understanding at Woodford about me not being able to get the car out the garage, but all is not lost, we're having another go next Thursday so fingers crossed I actually make it this time.

Jim.

Don't you have one of those crank handle thingies in case of electrical failure, or was it not like that ?

I think I would have exploded, in the same circumstances.

I knew you used woodford so was interested to see what was in this thread.........just a few more days though and then the lex will get the tlc it deserves :)

Does it not have a manual release device? What happens if there is a power failure?

On mine - take the weight off the mechanism; click out the mechanical lock; lift the door by hand. It's balanced on springs, so little effort required.

Our useless garage door does have a manuall override on it. Disconnect the power and put the extension handle in the hole and turn for all your life is worth. The problem that we had was the clips that attatch the top of the garage door to the lifting mechanism had all detatched themselves (and there are 10 of them) so it was stuck down. As it is a roller door we couldn't even lift it manually. It has now been repaired and had all 10 clipd reattached so fingers crossed, next Thursday, I can get the car done.
