What I do when I've bought cheap but wrong car parts over the internet; chuck them in the bin and order oem bits.  These cheapo parts may well be counterfeit and could cost you your life.

In the end the only way I got anywhere with it was to slate them on here while they were still sponsors.
I presume that's part and parcel of why they are not sponsors anymore?

AS I have already said, Pagid are OEM parts but ECP/CP4L supply them ALOT cheaper than the stealers, trust me when it come to my car and machanical parts I will NOT use 3rd party products....



Right UPDATE:  :whistle:

No delivery today.........
Back on the phone, spoke to another person different to the last 2 people I spoke to however this time I was cleaver and asked if any of ether two names of the other agents I spoke to yesterday and the day before were avaliable so I could find ot if they were real people or made up.
To which he told me they were both on calls at the moment, I then went though the whole story for the 3rd time but first asked what notes were on my account to check that the other agents have infact done as they promissed me... which in all fairness they did.

So then I asked why they had not turned up today as promissed and he confirmed that they have been ordered for me by their supplyiers but are still waiting to go aso he popped me on hold and rang them, the parts are on order I.E they have sold out but they have source more and they will be dispatched tomorrow for delivery on Monday.

In all honesty he was extremely understanding and helpful, im not ready to give up on them yet.... They have their chance to put this right. Roll on Monday.  :rolleyes:

I don't understand why so many people are willing to send incorrectly supplied stuff back at their own expense....

because there are many out there that have the "I cannot be bothered to make a fuss and chase it up" attitude.
Me on the other hand i'll argue over a £1

If stuff has been supplied to me wrong and it's not my fault I'll be damned if I send it back at my expense! You might as well just bend over and pass the lube...

It sounds like you need a good parts supplier.... well I know of one due to launch very soon  :wink:

(I'm a trained parts guy with quite a few years of experience, I may not get the prices as low as ecp but at least you'll know the parts are right for your car and forum deals will be offered)

Watch this space or keep checking my website http://oemandmore.co.uk/ (it's not a fancy site at the mo as I'm building the shop site and I have no experience in web design!! In the mean time I can quote and supply quality branded standard and tuning parts, pm me and I will sort a quote for you)
Moderator of The Dub-Tug Squad!! (What some call the MK3 section!)



Full range of quality parts for your Volkswagen available at Oemandmore.co.uk
