Do I really expect too much when I buy parts from from these so called trusted traders on here ?

Yes I am having a rant!

Darren@jdmotorsport.

Purchased 1x fmic (mint pfffttt) Holes in the pipework and bent fins.

4x early classic coil packs (mint pffft) Removed the rubbers to check for cracks and they fell to bits (fooked) Phone call resulted in the thick coont telling me I broke them removing the rubbers .

K&N cone filter (used but good condition pfffttt) Bent squashed and saturated in oil! Was told it was not there fault I could not afford to buy new HA!.

Trader no 2 (remain unnamed as efforts were made to rectify problem) Bought 4x pvc mudflaps (good condition pffftt) Got them , washed them to reveal several black stains on them! , seller stated all parts are washed before they are posted (my asse they are) If they were washed and checked they would of been binned!.

Trader no 3 (Balled off is not the word!) Bought a nur spec (12mths old my asse) Rust spots all over it!, Arrived without the bung !, Bought a HKS dv NOT ARRIVED, Also bought a so called clean set of 4 pots/discs/pads, (Fit for the bin!) Discs are warped! Pads have no meat left on them! and the calipers OMFG,,,, Have a look for yourself,, Bear in mind I asked for a clean set in person on the phone,, 2 seals had gone! rotten shyte

 

Oh dear that sucks mate I don't get how Darren still trades on here tbh as they're are numerous threads on here about people not receiving things or just generally being a load of rubbish he still owes me money but I gave up chasing him for it

 

I feel your pain,hate getting sent ****.
Got a case open with eBay just now over an intercooler I bought that's not as described and possibly another problem with something bigger and much more expensive I bought

 

Infact trader no3 owes me some money and if it's in my bank by tomorrow night i'll be naming him aswell,,....... There all too quick to take our money and sent us ****,, Then they have the brass to say they thought they were alright ,., Ye alright for the bin.

I'm logging off for an hour before I end up BANNED for speaking the truth!

 

Your telling me all the years you've been on here and 'seen' all the threads regarding darren, you still bought off him? Tbh serves you right if so.

 

The used parts section of traders I have heard bad things about 80% of them which is probably around 5-6 traders on here.i suppose most just rent the premises they trade from so can just move on to different area, different marque should things turn sour..

 

Moobs, I was one of the first to expose Darren as a grade A coont!

The items I bought from that prat was a long long time ago!,

The other two are in the last 2 weeks and are apparently highly regarded,

My whole point is how can traders on a specialist forum expect owners to even contemplate accepting shyte. Come on guys raise the bar

 

i buy off 1 breaker on here..............mattybr5@mpdevelopments

i have had engine/gearbox/turbo/exhaust/manifold + more off him,never ever had a problem with him or his parts

 

Agreed never had a problem with any of his bits aswell as the lads at scoobyspares

 

Am I right , I checked his feedback and he only has one negative ? Why is no one using the system ?

 

Plus 1 bought various parts good service fast delivery and well packaged.

 

Those calipers are lethal!!
We've all heard of the old S.I.A.L. Looks like he is selling parts from it.

You sure that is not a marine salvage?

 

Agree no ****** uses the system....but it's common knowledge now.....if the mods won't do owt then it's keep your eyes and ears peeled motto.

 

Those calipers are a disgrace!

 

Another plus 1
Although he charges top dollar for second hand parts but always as described.

 

why are they not being bannned!?

 

**** me Ed, they're terrible

 

Its in the rules , SN takes no responsibility.

 

Because they pay a fortune to use the site, simple as that. The mods know they are sh1te but still allow them to trade because they contribute alot of money.

I gave up buying from traders on here months and months ago. You've less chance of getting shafted buying on ebay believe it or not which is quite unbelievable.

If you were breaking a car surely you would chuck them calipers straight in the bin.

 

Nowt wrong with them brakes LOL

 

Not when u can say they are "mint" and flog them to a sucker !

 

Unless you are a SN trader

If they arrived at my door i would of personally drove them back and shoved them up the traders ****!

 

Where did he store the calipers?
The bottom of the thames? I thought they were an old hand grenade left over from the war..

 

That's still an option pal

ps, Sorry to hear about the bonnet issue dood

 

Too many shady ******* selling ****e ........
I personally would only trust mattybr5 on here ...

 

Kwik will buy them brakes off you.

 

First thing I thought when I seen the brakes was " they look like they were stored on the bottom of the sea" buts it's been done about 5 times already
