padd***ks crap service or what

i am really peeved at the moment,ordered a set of springs for the old gal a fortnight ago fitted them and she sat low on the rear,all fitted correctly and with the preload set as per the repair operation manual,after covering about 100 miles they are allready sitting lower than the preload phoned them up they said we will sort it out for me and asked for photos,sent there photos and they say the shackles are about right.phoned them again and told them there having a laugh they said we.ll phone you back so all week this has been going on,phoning them up and them saying we will phone you back haha,phoned them this morning after having various friends and a contact at craddocks look at them all saying the same thing ,that basically they are **** parts,after telling them this they have said send them back if you dont like them and i said what about sending some out to replace the **** allready fitted .to easy that,no we have to inspect them then wait for the suppliers to confirm they are crap so that leaves me with a motor on axle stands for however long that takes,your views would be appreciated,and is it worth getting trading standards involved?

why did yer put the stars in their name? yer should have just wrote

PADDOCKS

simple - go somewhere else - and tell Paddocks that their customer services stinks and yo will want full credit including transport costs. Then make sure yu send a letter to that effect to the Sales director.

heres some photos of the offending articles
quality from paddocks supplied by brit(****)part have i been shafted or what

i think we are talking legal precedings here only bought these to replace some parabolics i bought from frog island and they where crap as well ,guess who supplied those lol,ordered these on line at no time was it stated that they were britpart ****e

try doing a search for "britpart-****part" i think all will be revealed. be warned if you buy from any of the other major "specialists" you will still get britpart. at a glance it looks like those springs are too long, but i wouldnt swear to it.

i,ve done the search,very enlightning,the springs are,nt to long just not tempered correctly,way to soft and hardly any camber to them,although when fitted they looked ok until i moved it onto the road.i think lots of phone calls down to craven arms,one for them to collect the ****e parabolics and two to see what the f**k they are gonna do about this,two sets of there quality items lol not one any f**king good
only 50 miles to there factory might even be worth a ride down and wrap them round the back of someones head see if that gets a response from them

all fitted as per the bible

mah glowing plugs have arrived ah in't fitted thams yet tho

i can give yer a direct e mail address fer a bloke at britparts that is convinced thur stuff is good. drop him a line and see what he says. or betta still i'll do it cos he's bin trying to tell me how wonderful them is

send him them pics an see what ees got ter say fer imsen

lol just been for a ride round do a bit a shopping and like and i swear its sitting even lower now....****PART ****PART ****PART,SEND ME THAT EMAIL ADDY..****PART ****PART ****PART
CURRENTLY FEEL LIKE SKULL F**KING THEM TWICE,JUST IN CASE,

reet as the nice man at sh...britpart has sed thur stuff is reet good ? here's his e mail addy , best be quick before he changes it.

[email protected]


anyway if yer e mail him and quote his reply i have posted on the britpart/****part fred and enough folk complian something might get done.



if accy would agree we should invite him to sign on and partake in a serious, yes I sed serious, discussion with any disgruntled members.

and see if they have the conhanknees to partake.

i would however suggest we refrain from calling him a **** and ****part britpart or should that be the other way round

reet, im up fer that, i can ask him about my radiator, funny thing is, britpart(as they shall now be known) supply their own hoses that are the correct shape for the rad

will we need to pertition accy fer the 'say so'?

yup, i agree, if we have it as a locked debate wth no slaggin fer the sake but justified questions then we might get a decent response

i've seen that happen on another (totally none landrover related) forum and it was the dude from the company in question that did all the abusing/slagging, made him self look like a complete dickhead! so after that everyone knew that he sold crap stuff and didnt give a crap what his customers thought of said crap stuff!

best i ban mesen before it starts. but aye it would probably prove a better solution than bleatin about them on here. and if enough folk get their complaints in who nose we might even manage to get some compo fer them.

i take it then there are alot of unhappy peaple about then,especially when all they get from suppliers is ..oh we will see what we can do and get back to you and after waiting for phone caolls that never appear
