That's a bit like saying "I bought a product over the phone and it was crap, don't ever buy products over the phone".

You DO know what Ebay actually is and how it works, don't you?

Yeah mate well aware what ebay is!!!! but i bought the manifold from a shop in the USA and assumed i had the same come back as i would over here. obviously if you buy from private seller on ebay you havent got the same come back. But cheers anyway for your advice, i will keep it in mind next time. Cheers
