Good morning Saxonaxe,
The car is ongoing, I have the replacement s/h rear window Β£50 + Β£30 delivery and the window glass bonding kit Β£25, I have removed all the interior trim and wiper motor that pokes through the glass and now we have rain, wind, and now cold weather, so plastic sheet it is to keep out the rain till hopefully next week when it might improve. I can't get the car in the garage as if I did the car is so wide I wouldn't be able to open the door and get out! I could crawl out through the missing rear window but I think I'm too old for that now, haha.
The TV, it has suffered from a manufacturing defect just five months in, and John Lewis at present think I'm going to accept a repair by a local company, they are mistaken. It is not just some circuit board that needs replacing it is the whole 85in 8K screen.
This TV a flagship Sony model cost, when it first came out, more than a car to purchase, it has since come down in price and due to the start of COVID I thought I would treat my self to some cutting edge Audio Visual, it had been perfect till last Sunday.
I have kept every bit of cardboard and polystyrene packaging so will re-box it for John Lewis to either exchange or refund.
I do not think that stripping this set down to its components and rebuilding it from the bottom up is fair to the customer when it is only five months old and had previously been calibrated on the Sony production line for colour accuracy to boot, this TV comes from their 'Master Range' and that is what you are paying for!
Have a good day Saxonaxe, all the best.
Ian
