Not Paddocks, the other one....

Quick update guys - The parcel arrived after four days but the the dizzi cap was buggered so I e-mail them and let them know about that and the rad cap. e-mailed back the same day and told that a new dizzi cap is on the way already and that it is coming with a rad cap so I can see if that is any better than the other. Simple, effective service that is designed to encourage repeat custom. They know their business and it shows; they're the only mail order LR parts Coy I'll recommend.

Aint I the cockey one, I use paddocks all the time with no problems at all, but then again I only live 10 minutes away, lol.

Tom, I've been waiting 4 weeks now for my bulkhead and PAID EIGHTY QUIDS for carriage. Apparently DHL have lost it.

Remember you can still have my brand new complete wing mirror for £9 and tell craddocks to stuff it and get a refund.... just a thought.

Shizer Mary!

DHL delivered a bulkhead to me the other week. Strange cos I neva ordered one. I got £200 on fleabay for it. No bad eh?

Thanks for th offer, but ma gless is fitted now. Any alternators at Muddy Towers??????

Have used both 4 lots of stuff but mainly paddocks ,i would say craddocks web site is s@it no images which help sometimes ,but both havwe given good delivery .Maybee i stand in Horse poo all day (i smell nice).

But late in the day but at least you guys actually got as far as having parts shipped out.

I've just ordered a new wiring loom and due to my "excluded postcode" I'm supposed to be phoned by Craddocks so they can confirm the shipping costs. Ordered online just before lunchtime on Tuesday, still hadn't heard from them by close of play on Thursday. And that after giving them a prod by phoning them myself at 4.45 pm on Wednesday and being promised a call back when they "found" my order.

First call tomorrow (Friday) is to Craddocks to cancel my order. After more than 48 hours it's pretty obvious they can't be arsed. Won't be using them again in a hurry.

fs i ordered some bits from yankland at the end of last week, they got here yesterday.. and them was a shed load cheaper than anywhere this side of the puddle

I only live 5 miles from craddocks so no post cost hehe but there still sh*t

paddocks express delivery took a 8days to make it up to aberdeenshire to me! that was through a delivery company! had other bits from padd's and craddocks through the regular posty an they turned up in reasonable time!

i've bought some stuff from the states that turned up in less than a week as well! apparently US mail is supposed to be pants but maybe better than some UK delivery folk!!!

Needn't have bothered. Crappocks didn't have any record of me ordering online in any case. Better keep an eye on the old credit card bill just the same

Does Paddocks do wiring looms? I've only been able to find autosparks and the wiring loom company

As mentioned in previous threads/posts, my company manufactures specialist looms, but I assume yu want a standard one - and fur wot motor?

and before Yella sez it - they are expensive , but can supply in a full range of colours

Wot I need is a company that will fulfill my order and not make it a 'hard buy'. And one that doesn't think the Highlands are somewhere near Mars when it comes to shipping it out.

Apart from that, what I need is a loom for a 1962 2A. Originally, it was a diesel but, somewhere along the line, a later petrol 2.25 engine was transplanted.
It's negative earth and I have fitted an alternator. The engine has the two water temperature senders, so I'm planning to put a S3 gauge in to get a water temperature gauge.

i wont buy from crappocks any more , any thing ive ever bought from these so called land rover 'specialists' has been of sub standard quality and has very seldom done the job it was intended for.
il buy genuine parts if there is no generic alternative and for critical parts like bearings etc i will only buy genuine.
its worth the extra.
what gets me is people always complain about craddocks selling cheap rubbish parts but when they need something they buy it from craddocks , if you keep buying this crap they will keep selling it.
