Fcuked over by a Scoobynetter !!
https://www.scoobynet.com/member.php?u=72788
Bought a turbo timer from scoobyste1987 and he sent it to the wrong address...
He u2u'd telling me how sorry he was and he would sort it or refund me ..
Then funnily enough he disappears ..
BUT of course he has a citylink ref so paypal will do **** all !!
Anyone know him ? I'd like my money back
Pathetic ..

if the city link reference shows the wrong address paypal should do something.

It shows delivered, I emailed them and they say it was delivered to number 27, when in fact the house number on the parcel was 29 and I live at neither. So technically he can claim for it being delivered to the wrong house.
I have knocked at all the houses around and none of them have had anything and they are old couples, not people you would think would steal.
I've lived in this street my whole life so my name is known! and I'm the only one with a car that resembles something sporty.
Thanks for the PM's .. will chase up

No mate, they have already refused. I waited a month for them to say no.

Have you tried ringing paypal, I've found things get dealt with there and then on the phone as opposed to opening a case and waiting weeks for it to get dealt with.

Sorry to hear about this mark! I'm not going to go into the fact you don't actually need a turbo timer at the moment though
I think there a bit pointless.

just leave it a minute or 2 before switching the engine off, and/or the last mile or two drive off boost.

so you drive flat out right to your front door
I had one in my last car which came with it and you still have to wait 1,2,3 etc minutes wether you do it by the ignition or the timer does it. Do you leave your car running for a few minutes before driving off to warm it up?

i like to cool my brakes down too
, the best way to cool a car down properly IMO is to drive it. Anyway i live in a city so i wouldn't leave it running without me in it, maybe are handy in the country but each to their own. Just a gimmick IMO.
There is threads on this already so i'll leave this thread for Pimmo to try and get his money back.
