Me and a few mates have had some problems with the parts they supply and recently I had a mk1 golf steering rack that I thought I should mention on here. The problem is the gear linkage bracket will not bolt to the rack. There was a 6mm gap behind the bracket.
When I returned it they got another off the shelf and it was the same so the whole batch is faulty. There was no problem getting a refund and because I live locally it didn't cost me anything. 99% of there custom is through eBay so postage won't be refunded.
This is the last thing I will be buying from them as they didn't even apologise for the hassle. I have also had problems with there engine mounts degrading after 6 months, also track rod ends splitting after 12 months. Ball joints splitting, mk2 track rods supplied instead of mk1s. The list goes on so buyers beware

Blimey this surprises me, I've bought a fair few parts off them and for my MK2 as well and have had no issues with parts - they tend to be similar brands to what everyone else sells and their service had been top notch too

Bought a carb mount from them. Quality was average. Prices seem cheap for a reason.
Hey sporttrucker, where abouts are you from in Cornwall?

I am near Penzance. I understand that they are cheap but if the parts need to be replaced after 12 months then its false economy.
I have also been using them for years as my last 3 cars have been mk1's, but things like that make me worry about there quality control. after seeing the state of all of the rubber parts I have had, after 12 months use, I wouldn't use them again.
I will stick some pics up of the parts I am not happy with.
