why not to buy a cheap ebay (R-spec) diverter valve

[topher]

it's a pikey fix but will the spring hold straight enough in the DV if you put the two flat ends of the spring back to back in the middle? maybe file a tiny bit off the snapped ends just to make it flat.

i've put two weak green springs in a forge back to back and they seemed to hold (gt35 running 30psi so don't try that at home!)

lmao, youre right, it is a pikey fix, but it could work ... not sure about it sitting straight though

have you contacted the people you bought it from?

have you contacted the people you bought it from?

That's what I would do, get the biatches to replace the spring.

it was a while ago... will have to look into it.. i know it was off ebay so will have to search through my feedback..

A good trick I learned once when I bought something and they would not play ball after I found it to be faulty is buy another item then contact them saying remember me. Either sort the issue with the item I have previously bought or I will leave negative feedback on the new item and not pay of course. Not a very nice thing to do but if they give you no choice its an option  .

Person I did it to played along after that, I agreed if it got resolved I would leave feedback on the new item or agree to not complete the sale. Hope you get it sorted.

now they want me to send the DV to them to repair it.... im perfectly capable of that myself..  plus it would cost me more in postage to send it to them...
just send me the spring you starvers...

[Gozza]

I think they are saying that just so you think ahhh fook it and replace the spring yourself. Take a picture of the spring and send it to them and ask what's there to fix ?

Failing that I would do as I mentioned and insist it's sorted asap.

Hope you get it sorted

dont really want to send them the DV for certain reasons.. i have already taken a pic and sent it.. hopefuly they will just agree to send me a new spring.. also i have noticed that the o-ring which seals the bottom of the piston seems to be missing though it seems to seal well without it..

I would ask them to replace that too , Ebay is now very much in favour of buyers which is great if your a buyer but not so good if your a seller.
