I havent worried too much to mail Rob because either one of two things.
1- it was made this way so nothing one can do.
2- its a flaw (but i doubt it is a flaw as i have never heard of such from a reo) but if it is. No ways in hell im sending the mod with sapo and im not paying R700 for coureir costs again.
So either way will just have to live with it and work around my ocd i guess.
You could mail Rob and find out - then based on the feedback
You could sell it to one of the other guys
Then get another one
Only snag is the agony and pain anticipating its arrival
