Default So called traders,,,, PAHHHH!!!!!

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

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

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?

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.

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
