Re: Worst customer service I have ever had

I have just looked at my order. Having placed it on the 2nd of April I was shocked to see an estimated delivery time between the 12th and the 18th. Thats a full 8 - 13 days after the order was placed, to come from Didcot to Reading. I should have collected them. I would understand if none in stock b...

Re: 3.0 steering rack wanted

Good power racks are thin on the ground now.

I got my last one from Martin at Caprigear.

Was a solid piece of kit and in perfect working order.

He is the best bet for one if he has any.

Such a shame.

I will be avoiding him from now on but don't forsee any need of him now.

Will tell people to avoid him like the plague.

Re: BOB Cosworth oil

Thanks.

Thats brill.

Will probably go for the 5W40 millers oil.

Only going to be a summer toy and not huge miles so will go for the millers as I have previous use with their oils and was very happy with them.

Worst customer service I have ever had

Hi all, I have been dealing with a well known capri parts supplier and I have to say I have never had such poor customer service in my life. I work in customer service and if I acted like this gentleman then I am sure I would be sacked. First of all this is all on his EBAY shop. I looked at some par...

To be honest Andrew,

If I remember correctly I used them with the speaker grills over the top of the speakers but I cannot be sure now.

Hi,

As title I am after a 1.6 brake servo that is in good working order.

I don't mind if it needs cleaning up and painting but must be in good working order.

Well my other half and I both got them for our cars and I have to say I am fully converted. Saved me 10% on my insurance an...

Hi Nick, Used one on the other halfs focus. Had a good strong magnet on it and felt really solid and good quality, better than the ford original. No results yet on the condition of the plug after being run as the oil isn't due for a change yet and might not be as the car is a poss write off after so...
