Check out the following website - http://www.consumeraffairs.govt.nz/consumerinfo/index.html - you might find some useful ammunition there for the people you are dealing with in relation to the sewing machine. Also perhaps suggest "Fair Go" or that you are speaking to your lawyer. Might be enough to make them sit up and take notice - and action.

What a brilliant way of getting the exercise in. Must have a think about that one! <br /><br />Seriously, though, Chris, how many more chances are you going to give that machine? Have you spoken to the actual NZ distributors cos this giving it another go is getting farcical.
