happy easter from husqvarna!!!!!!!

[arbmark]

the new T540xp's plastic casing actually is about as tough as a chocolate egg shell.

 

My 2 month old machine slid off the back seat of the ranger onto tarmac as i opened the door and fuel sprayed all over the drive. fuel tank cracked along the weld. a 2 ft drop - utterly pathetic. my 14 month old son's toys could be dropped from five times the height.

 

really narked - the dealer has said it isnt a warranty job

 

photos below hopefully, with a comparison of the same weld on the 200T!!!!

 

any advice on how to play it gratefully received!

thanks

Mark

That's inEGGcusable CRACKING like that. If you don't want to SHELL out for a new one try some araldite rapid.

My 540 took a knock and it was only a small one whilst moving position in a tree and now my priming bulb and choke switch has come all loose. Still works but very frustrating

My 540 tank has done exactly the same, but the opposite seam.

 

The build quality is pathetic, IMO.

and I was just looking to ask for feedback on these machines as it's time for a new top handle.

pathetic indeed. it certainly is plasticky, but then everything seems to be getting plastickier and plastickier all the time. what did you do then mr huck?
