Yes it's wound all the way down, I have tried it both ways to check, at one point it looked like a land rover!    Nice pics by the way.

Trading standards have said that the company who sold them are responsible for all costs incurred as they have missile me the item.....apparently it's covered by the sale of goods act 1970 summat! But yes brought off eBay. I'm gonna say all this to them and then try and do a deal with them today.

If you bought off Ebay you will be able to get your money back if you open a not as described case with Paypal but you will have to send them back at your own cost (as long as that is how you paid).

The seller may reimburse you for your p+p but i ca'nt see them paying anything else.If the one's you bought are from the seller mentioned earlier in this post i would take a look at their negs  :angry:.

If negs do'nt bother them at all then what else can you do ?.

If you paid to have them fitted do you now have to pay again to get them removed ?.

Best advice i can give if seller does'nt play ball is get what you can back through Paypal and move on.

You could go down the small claims route but like i said earlier,even if you win there's no way you can force the seller to pay you.It is a relatively small amount and could end up costing you more in the long run than you stand to get back.

Trading standards will quote law etc all day long but putting it into practice is a very different matter.

My guess is that you will contact seller and they will ask you to return them for a refund.You would have to send them back by trackable method (signed for) at a cost of about £15-£20.Seller may or may not refund your return costs although a good seller would.

You never know,seller may refund your total costs but i would'nt hold your breath,their negs speak volumes.If the link on page 1 of this post is the exact seller you bought from then they do not have a legal returns policy on the actual listing so you may well be entitled to a full refund and they would have to arrange collection at their cost.Putting that into force is another thing entirely though !.

Guys thank you for all advice and pics ..... I think I'm gonna end up putting it down to experience and move on. Seems more hassle than it's worth. It'll cost me more to have them removed than the refund! Best start saving for the proper coil overs!

That's life i guess.I went through 3 complete sets of lowering springs and shocks of all denominations before i bought coilovers.

Fortunately i did'nt waste a packet as all 3 sets cost me under £80 (1 full set cost only £16 from 5 miles away.Seller put a silly title,poor description and "collect only",only 6 months old !!!).I sold them all on for a little more than i paid but i got to know my suspension pretty well  :wink:

Very poor idea  :smiley: cheaper coilovers are a better option.
